How do I determine my Shadow Level?

[GroG]

I'd like to know how to determine my ELL please. Everyone talks about where there's is all the time, I'd like to know what mine is. Is there like an ELL calculator somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

If you play enough games - say a few hundred, simply keep a mental track of the highest (actual) level opponent you've ever faced. Eventually, you'll get a feel for the sort of level which you don't go over when getting matched with other players. Your ELL will probably be that, perhaps minus a level or two.

Alternatively, if you smurf enough, like me, then your average "wins without losing" (eg. 2-0, 4-0, 7-0) can determine your ELL, I believe roughly like this;

0-1: 25 or lower
1-0: 26/27

Continue going up at about five levels for each three wins, which leaves it looking kind of like this;

3-0: ELL at about 30
6-0: ELL at about 35
9-0: ELL at about 40
12-0+: ELL over 45, getting towards 50

Anyway, that's my two cents. Don't take my word as sacred. :P

First, get about 200 wins. Before that, it's basically impossible to tell where you are. You could get a guesstimate at around 100, but there's still a lot of variation there. Basically, the game figures that once you start hitting 50%, you're about at your ELL. Oftentimes the people you're matched with is more determined on who's available as opposed to solely who's appropriate.
