Team/casual
balance
is
no
longer
solely
based
on
your
results
in
those
games.
Matchmaking
has
a
big
influence
on
it.
The
team
Elo
was
made
invisible
due
to
not
being
a
reliable
representation
of
skill.
The
rank
icon
is
based
on
matchmaking
only
and
is
thus
meaningless
for
players
who
don't
use
it.

what

I would not recommend judging somebody as critical as your air player by a simple rating. For example when you see a great air player in the enemy team and you know that one of your 1200 Elo teammates is bad at most things but knows how to use swifts effectively, I'd place him in that role. His only task will be taking the enemy air down, making it hard for them to get any bombers into play. This'll grant you a decisive advantage on the ground, where they are down one good player. I wouldn't want somebody I don't know to play air, even if he has a good Elo.

The icons are also supposed to show the smoothness and inaccuracy of Elo. When you can't see the difference between the colors there's not much of a difference in skill beyond random variation. You can still see who's "better" because the player lists are sorted by Elo. If you're trying to optimize your team games, you should know your teammates playstyle or let them decide for themselves. Elo wouldn't tell you much more than you can see on the icons. Default example: Firepluk has 2000 Elo, but when he places an air fac you'll still need an air player.

How can I see the elo of other players?
