Man, I wish I kept better records. (Destiny)

When I started, I had a 5-streak in non-Competitive (combo of Quickplay and IB). I was a little ways into Heroic. (I'm not sure exactly how far, but it wasn't far. For the sake of easy math, I'm going to assume I was right at the beginning.) I played 15 games in Competitive, here's the Win-Loss progression:

L W W W L L W W W L L L L L W

If this had been a normal week, and I was playing Quickplay, here are the point values for those games:

10 15 20 25 10 10 15 20 25 10 10 10 10 10 15

That's 215 points. Would have gotten me about 2/3 of the way to Fabled.

Because it's a Triple Valor weekend, if I'd been playing straight Quickplay, this is what the point values would have looked like:

30 45 60 75 30 30 45 60 81 30 30 30 30 30 51

657 points (a little more than 3x the original value, because I crossed the barrier into Fabled) - not too shabby.

Because I was getting points for a 5-streak, even though I was losing a lot of games, my ACTUAL values should have been like this:

30 105 105 105 30 30 111 111 111 30 30 30 30 30 120

1008 points (a 53% increase over the Quickplay-only value)

HOWEVER:

I wasn't keeping close track of the value after each game - I just know that after those 15 games, I reset my Valor, meaning I'd increased

1650 points

during this time. That's more than double the regular triple-play progression, and a 64% increase over the BUGGED predicted score.

That's insane.

Yep. I wasn’t keeping good track of my numbers, but I did notice some strange things happening with my Valor rank as I played. I’d win a game, and my Valor score would barely move, then I’d win another and my score would shoot up. I was ranking up so fast that I decided to just not worry about it and enjoy the ride, but I do wish I’d kept better track of my Valor score as I was playing, just so I could try and figure out exactly what was happening.
