As for the DM Rating, here is a rundown on how it basically works:

• Once an initial rating is set, players with a high rating that kill a lower rating player will gain less points.  Players with a low rating that kill a higher rating player will gain more points, with the opponent losing that amount of points.
• Your actual rating does not update in real time, but after a certain amount of kills / deaths occur.

The rating system may still need to be tweaked / adjusted in the coming weeks so if ratings will need to be reset, an announcement will be made about it.

Thanks.
