How does Battlelog calculate skill? It's so goddamn annoying seeing your skill go down despite doing well, and another guy go 3-19 and gain 100 skill.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it has to do with killing enemies per skill level. So if you kill a bunch of low skill guys, your score will either remain the same or go down. If you do good against high skill players, your skill will go up. I don't remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing people say that. So take that with a handful of salt.

i think some dev tweeted at some point that it's a simple Elo rating system, so pretty much what didjeridu said.
i don't know how to find tweets though, don't use twitter myself, no clue about nothing. maybe another bro has it saved or something.

it basically is, you get or lose points for killing or being killed depending upon the enemies skill level and yours

It seems pretty stupid to me. I mean, just because I shoot a bunch of low skill guys doesn't make me a worse player. Likewise, just because I get lucky and shoot the best player in the world while he's at low health with his back turned, doesn't mean I'm better. I guess it helps when comparing people who have more or less equal stats in everything else, but otherwise I don't see the point. It would make more sense to me if skill was lowered based on vehicle versus infantry kills. Of course, stats mean nothing in this game when half the playerbase whores 24/7 Metro servers.

additionally, i went 52-27 in a game, and to show how flawed skill is, i lost 41 skill in that game

it's as flawed as the rank system in bc1...you get killed once by a rank 40+ and your green rank 2 becomes orange.
don't worry about it. it's useless.
