Board Game Arena

As a premium member I find that when you pla a game you learn the basics you get a couple wins then your in the avg zone. Now there are alot that dont want to donate and sit at the 198 190 level and they are the fastest to join the Roll for the galaxy board. The fact is that you cant drop under avg but you can drop from strong to good to avg. I a not a sore loser/ poor sport but it is NICE to have a chance at winning or losing by a few pts. Being slaughtered though game after game bcasue you must open to avg players..even though you probably would of dropped to apprentice again if possible. So if I want to play wiht players of my skill level i need to either ignore unil Mr 190 leaves or expel which is rude.

How hard would it be to put an ELO limit in the restrictions area as long as it does not recede yours?

for lucked involved games, play with beginners OR play with similar skills players with higher elo than you.

if you play with a player with similar skill but lower elo, you are more likely to lose elo in the game.

play 2P games can better eliminate the luck effect and avoid others to put you the last and gain elo even though they are 2nd/3rd (if you have a higher elo). In 3+ games if a player leaves, you get almost nothing, which can frequently and easily happen.

in the past we can set filters and choose not to play with similar level players, eg master choose to play with average or below, so he does not have to expel players or run away when a strong opponent comes (player deszczyk).
