Season 15 ELO Misses the Point
People don't get it. Halved elo is much better. If you reach 2k+ you get +1 from 1400 either way, but if you get killed by 1400 hacker or alt you lose only 1/2 of the points you would lose if there was normal elo.

Personally I like the risk factor involved in the old ELO system however the new system will make it much more competitive at the top instead of having one person who nobody can beat be ridiculously far ahead of everyone else (danteh).

thats why badlion implamented the slower match making but find a person at your skill level! and if u dont wanna fight 1400s dont play at 4:00 AM

The current system just makes each point 2x more "valuable" than S12 elo. In a sense, you can say that the numbers really don't matter because inflation is just more controlled with the current elo, and means that you can still compare the exact same way, but you have to consider that 1 S15 elo is worth 2x more than 1 S12 elo.

Personally, I think either system is fine because it doesn't matter. All that changes is elo inflation.

both +1 and -1 from me, I like this ELO but I feel like original ELO was better, more nostalgic and challenging cause of the -31

But it would make things more motivating and faster for people to enjoy.

+1. The challenge of breaking Danteh's elo records legitimately (win: +1 lose: -31) would no doubt encourage more competition

I don't think ppl would enjoy it when they lose 31 elo in 1 match

But 16 elo is basically the same value as 31 elo. If you lose 16, it's the same and then you win your next time which you get 8 back, it's not fun. But with s12 elo makes things more sufficient and less demotivating.

I'd rather lose less elo per match bc someone would get screwed over if they get tilted and lose 3 matches which would be 93 elo

Everyone who is commenting that losing a lot of elo is bad, didn't do well in s12/11 but if you see most of the people who did semi well or did well want elo back. It was way more competitive in s11/12 then it will ever be if we continue to use this system.

tbh badlion should focus more on the average player like old elo than the top and bottom players like mmr and half elo


Well its an opinion, on the other hand having a system that its more focused on the top players makes it more competitive, back in season 12 the difference between danteh and the top 10 was like 200 elo (I dont actually remember) now the idea its to make the top more competitive.
But once again different opinions
