Not quite how it works... (Destiny)

A totally valid criticism of Trueskill is that it can't separate, identify and quantify the 'teamwork effect' of a familiar group of players since it treat's the team skill as a sum of the individual players. Arguably too, the skill estimates are only valid in too narrow of an application. In the real world of online games with various gametypes, teamsizes and maps there is no inter-prediction of skill and no model of how to do so.

Trueskill simply needs to incorporate moneyball style algorithms, which were designed to determine just this.
