Okay, this one goes out to any player who is struggling to get their elo up due to drainers/lag. If i play 45 games and only lose 5 of those, i think it is so fucking unfair that my elo is NEGATIVE from when i started. I will win countless games in a row and lose to one laggy 1400 and there goes the last 8 wins that i just got. Especially for non-donators, since they cant just play forever until they gain that elo back. Im thinking either make it a little less dramatic when you loose to a lower elo, like if a 1700 loses to a 1300 maybe 15/20 elo should be lost, not like fucking 35. Or maybe a better system to pair the same elos up with each other, like 1500s vs 1500s and 1700s vs 1700s. That would eliminate drainers completely and also pair good players up with those of the same skill level, making us work harder for elo without having to play against 100 low elo players for a gain of like 50.

32 is the max ELO lost/gained, and that's a gap over several hundred elo. The pairing system has been tried before, but it doesn't work with the amount of players that play ranked. People with high elo end up waiting too long just to get one match. A 1400 may also be better than you, and therefore beats you and you end up losing a lot, but that's the fun in ELO. You can't pre-judge how easy a player will be based on ELO. ELO is designed to be hard work, it's failing if it's not a challege.

If the elo system wont change then there should be a way to counter drainers. I HAVE fought 1400s who were better than me, then i check their stats. They wil loose to every 13/14/1500 until a high elo comes along and wow, they win by some miracle. I went from 1800 to 1690 today because i lost 7 games, 2 to laggy players, one to a good player and 4 to drainers. Those six players took my elo down about 190, and players who are that good shouldnt be stuck down in 1200. I just want the drainers out, its unfair for someone who should be 1800 to purposefully stay around 1300 just for the lols

If people are intentionally draining high ELO and losing to low ELO, report it on the forums as it's manipulation. Can't do anything about people who lag though, whatever the system is.

@Listen I will try to report as much as i can, but you see badlion elo has become somewhat of a joke to a large community. I dont really want to be trying to play my competetive games and lose to a good 1200, then hop on the website to check his games, stats, recent player kills, then post a report because i would be doing that maybe twice or more a day.
