As some of you may or may not know, for the last couple of weeks i was trying to get an account down as low as possible. Some of you may recall the infamous Fr0st, who got down to the 600s, or the more recent technologic, who got down to 300 in DM rating (which has a lower active average rating). Well I have come to announce that I have done the unthinkable: I have achieved 0 rating on an account. After weeks of boosting and dropping, of lagouts and freezes, of countless people saying that I couldnt do it, I have finnally reached the point my alt was made for, Rock Bottom.

You can add this account if you want to see for yourself, RockBottom 933

Negative rating ftw

Special thanks to:

Fr0st who gave me the idea
Technologic for making it clear what not to do
Ben who helped me out for a total of 20 minutes
Rain who told me it was impossible
WyzDM who said the same
Jli who was the only other person besides rain who understood my plan
everyone else who didnt help me when i asked for it :P

You can see that i made a ladder of alts that boosted each other downwards. so instead of waiting for 5 minutes each match and losing 1 rating, i was waiting 40 seconds and losing 3-10 each game.

We must now race to catch up. I say we each make alts and race to see who can press surrender first, make a game out of it lol.

Also, wow. I didn't actually think you could do it. Most elo systems have a rating floor, but I guess this doesn't. Will be interesting to see if it affects anything, like a y2k thing, everything just shuts down. Probably not.

EDIT: Snipe high rated people when they're ranking to see how much they can lose.

Lol i was thinking that maybe WyzDM could sack one of his accounts like assassin and see how much rating can actually be lost. He'll still have like 10 more...

Loads of alts to group yourself down in elo is the way to go with troll eloing. I wonder if a negative elo player can get matches with even 1200s.

You see, because of the way the matchmaking system is made, youre more likely to fight a 2.2k+ person than a 1200 person, simply because they both have to wait an incredibaly long time for games, which expands the range to the point that they are paired with each other

I am now interested to how many points for high rank accounts to lose when they face negative account

Jerry, Good JOB !
