7.00 means 3 more factions. TWELVE factions. Holy ****balls.

If the Vaughn don't cover it, I'd sell my right kidney to have the Reavers be a faction.

And by 70%, that means that the effective ELO of one team cannot be more than 147 points greater than the other team.

There's a lot that goes into calculating team ELO that doesn't factor in until after the game ends, and I wont even begin to decipher it here. There's a whole topic dedicated to that.

Draws aren't counted as losses, they're treated as outcomes of 0.5, meaning in an exactly even game, neither team's rating is adjusted, but a severely stacked team will lose points, as the ...

Agreed, and the scoring system built into Alleg already has some reward for deprobing and picking up tech, but this shouldn't INCREASE the team's ELO, but award more of the "team points" to those who contributed more to the win.
