Elo System
Now, I've seen ALOT of people complaining about this in chat recently, and thats the ELO system.

I find it really frustrating when you play a good 20 matches and get around 30-40 elo off of 1300-1500 because you cant really choose who your going up against, and after all that time of pvping and ELO gaining you come up against that one 1500 and you get elo drained by 30 or something ridiculous like that.

I think you should make it so you loose less ELO when you loose to someone who has less ELO than you, i don't want to be on badlion for hours trying to get 1800 in something then to get ELO drained by a 1400.

Thanks for listening and i hope this idea is considered :)

That is stupid. If you lose to someone lower ranked than you, you deserve to lose more ELO than you would gain for winning because in the rating systems eyes you are the better player.

says the one who made a whole thread with excuses about why you only have low elo bc you don't try.



notice the only ones saying that it should be removed/it's inaccurate/it should be changed are all under 1900 ;^)

I think elo shows consistency over skill, which is important.

Elo system is fine tbh. It just shows you not to see lower elo's as automatic wins.

-1 the elo system is awesome because if somone who isnt good beats someone who is really good they get a better reward.

The elo system sets apart people who are actually good and people who can win 2 lose 1 and place on the boards. This happened in season 5 and everyone hated it

I know the feeling of being dropped by a 1600 and losing 33 ELO but still, high rank comes with high expectations of PvP skill.
