Peak Elo does not depend on the average skill of the players. Peak Elo depends on many things, but that is not one of them.

The closest dependency to what you suggest is the relative skill of the top player compared to the average player. Their Elo scores reflect the likelihood that the higher-ranked player will defeat the lower-ranked player in a match. If the game were "Flip a Coin" then this would put their relative Elos very close, since the odds are 50:50. But if the game were "Chess" then you can see a wider divergence. Even if the player pool was all kindergartners, you would see a much higher top Elo in "Chess" than "Flip a Coin."

And we see the top Elo here is 2000 which can be compared to e.g. 1800 for "Can't Stop," or 1700 for "Flip 7," which are more luck-dependent. That's not because Toy Battle players are smarter than Flip 7 players. It's because even the best Flip 7 player can be defeated by the worst player who always hits. When a high-ranked player is defeated by a low-rank player, they lose a LOT of Elo. So it's very hard for even the best players to gain a high score.

I'm guessing you've played Compte Rond then!

Add cool-aligator3 to the list of whiners. It's getting tedious, can we complain about these people ruining the experience?

u don't have to give name.
that's not according to the rules of this forum

nevertheless u can admit u have luck and don't complain here than people can find u have luck

You don't have to whine about luck when you lose, like you're doing again here. Stop trolling people when you lose, it ruins the experience. Learn to lose with dignity.

coz u don't trolling people and whine but doing what u do ?

come on....

i have an answer right so i take it u can't say such thing about people and then blame them to answer

u don't like that people say u win w/ luck. Learn to admit it

Please get some self awareness. I am going through a family bereavement, and come to play on BGA for some relief. It should be enough that there's an entire forum dedicated to people like you constantly pointing out that we are playing a game of luck. You have no idea what other people are going through, but you feel empowered to push your pointless agenda irrespective of what the other person might be experiencing. You're behaving like the worst of twitter. Yes this is a game that involves luck. WE ALL KNOW THAT! You pointing it our every time you lose is the tedious and pointless, and you can't even see how it makes you look like a terrible loser. Well done for making someone who is going through a bad time feel even worse. Hope you're proud.

bad news if u are going through a family bereavement but in the same way u don't know what i'm living too

It can't apologize the fact that u try to make me guilty : u put urself in this situation by post here.

so if u want to have some relief stop provoke people.

I don't know what you're going through. Which is why I tend not to comment on luck during games.

How nice, you can both learn something from each other
