We're not talking about an N7 of 10k here. Or 20k. Not even 30k. Forget 40k. We're talking almost 54,000 N7. I don't need to add anything else to this.


Try it.

(100(sqrt(challenge point total)/sqrt(N7 ranking total))(Time played in hours/games played in total))/4=

your percent efficiency


I believe in you!

If my math is correct, this means that Kook's efficiency is 9.7. Ouch.

N7 Rank has nothing to do with skill because promoting characters doesn't require any. There are many players who dislike promoting so their N7 is low while their skill level is high. There are also people that have cheated their way to a high N7 and aren't all that great at playing the game as a result.

So the short answer would be no.

According to my thread I made, nothing.


'twas a giant prank to confuse people with math.


It was based on ratios that would make everyone look like terribad players.

Not really. ive been playing since the first day the demo came out. and while high n7 rating means uve played alot, it doesnt mean ur good. i personally dont like to promote, so i have a relatively low n7. but i wuld say im a decent enof player. u can promote alot but still be terrible, it just means theyve grinded alot of bronze and silver. and some players with low n7 scores can b like me and just dont see the point in promoting

 Having a high n7 means you've promoted your characters a lot. Does this have anything to do with skill? Does it help you get more skilled at the game? What is skill to you? For me i find people that comfortably solo plat/gold and can carry bad pugs to victory with versatility to be quite skilled at the game


No, I have played with many players who crap their pants at the thought of Platinum or Collector Gold and have 10k+ N7. N7 rank means little and I would suggest Challenge points as a better indicator.

Plus, a ton of people juiced up their N7 back in the day using nefarious means.

Holy cow, I'm on BSN every day, how did I miss that thread? Also, how did he get back up in CP and N7 if his account was banned? Or is that the joke? I'd pm the parties most likely to be involved, but well, we all know that isn't possible, sooooo...

In the past, I never connected it with skill. Back in the day, I could outscore players with higher N7 ratings, so I was like, whatever. But then, I look at folks like INVADERONE. We met when we were still struggling through Bronze matches. I think he was actually slightly lower than me at the time.

VADER promoted like crazy, and I didn't. I would find a build I liked and would stick with it. I say to him one day, "what the f*ck is up with all this promoting, bro? N7 doesn't mean sh*t."

And he basically said that he liked experimenting with new builds and new styles, testing out the same old characters to find new ways to play with them.

VADER was playing matches all the time, not just promoting for the f*ck of it. In a matter of days, his N7 was outstripping mine by hundreds of points. And the thing was, all that promoting, combined with all that playing, led to a much greater skill level.

I been a year without an internet connection. I come back to find INVADERONE's n7 way high. Was a time when I could keep pace with him in Gold. Not so much any more...

So, I think that there is a correlation between a high N7 rating and skill. Nothing ironclad in the face of logic, because as rusty as I am, I can still outscore the occasional player with a higher N7. And sh*t, I see guys with ratings lower than mine outscoring me.

But that notwithstanding, continual promotion seems to bring with it a sense of learning the ins and outs of not just the game but the character classes and various builds maximized to their highest potential. Is that skill? Maybe. I'd call it experience.
