can someone explain how ELO work for this game as so far as I can tell it seems to behave differently to other games on BGA
at the end of my games I seem to get hammered on ELO if I lose. Take this game for example:
https://boardgamearena.com/1/azul?table=244584750
We start of within 10 ELO apart me on 135, the other player on 144. I lose and get deducted 19 and they gain 10. In other games the deduction and gain would be similar, within 1 or 2 (eg +9/-10) for players with similar ELO, and typically favouring the lower ranked player.
Similarly in this game: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=244391764
He starts on 231 and me on 133. He wins and gets +7, I lose (as expected) and I get hit with -22. It just seems a bit disproportionate.
