ELO option for games

Post by Elarius8 »

I think there should be an option for an ELO range when playing regular games. When I have an ELO of 23, I'll only get creamed by someone with a 345 ELO.

There already are options for regular games to exclude high-ranked players when setting up a game manually.

If you manually create a game, you can adjust settings so that only beginners and apprentices are able to join by clicking the link labeled "Restrict table access." But it may seriously increase the time it takes for the game to fill.

Alternatively, under automatic matching you can leave "I'm okay playing with: My level" set to the default (under Opponent's Level in Show advanced options) and set everything else to "I never want to play with."

From the single-game lobby, under the Start button to the right of the number of players you will see a green icon with people coming out of (or going into?) a door. Click on that to filter by Opponent's level.
