ONLY ME, I lose too much point

Post by Chris7ian »

3 players:
- 180 Elo
- 200 Elo (me)
- 270 Elo

180 Elo player win --> I lose "-18" Elo point and the 270 Elo player ONLY "-4"

WHYYY, it isn't the first time I notice this. In another games, player earn "+40" or "+50" points when they win and me only "+13" even if they have the same point as me.

SOMEONE CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!?!?
IT IS REALLY ANNOYING...

You want someone to explain this to you, but you don't even bother linking the table for us? :-/ That's annoying...

Because you got beaten by 2 players and finished last in a 3p game. The other person lost to the person who won, but they still "won" and did better than you which compensates elo swings.

During your first games of a games, your elo will increase and decrease a lot more to put you in your real elo faster.
So in 2 players games, you can often see a +10/-20 which is caused exactly by that. If the other player won you would have -10/+20.
