Haha. I just came to search out the right forum to let the developers know how much I *love* the new layout. Thank you and congrats. Sorry it's not everyones cup of tea, maybe it's a desktop thing but to me as a mobile player it's much better I’d love to know what you’re seeing on mobile because my...

The sleeper datapoint here to me is how Azul's top player has almost double the ELO of the threshold to put you in the top 0.1%.

Yeah I'm using a time joker on this one so I don't karma bomb every game after how much of a fiasco it was last time. BGA, please consider awarding an extra joker for cases like this in the future.

Happy anniversary to this tire fire, can we please put this feature back since we’re now talking about fixing ELO abuse properly (by adjusting the ELO system, not punishing people who just want ranked play without time pressure)?

There is a simple solution to this topic and that is to have an even faster clock for those players that like to play fast. This is what real time tables are for.

And of course, his/her responses are lagging and we are all there, waiting that he/she wakes up and remembers that he/she is playing with us. Play realtime then. The player timer exists for a reason and you agreed to it when you joined a game with that timer rule. If they're not going overtime they...

Am I correct in inferring from this thread that there is already a mechanism for fighting ELO abuse in the form of ELO resets?

If so that makes this change's explained reasons even more galling.
