Arena ELO filter for elite league

[admitted]

Currently you can filter opponent levels in arena. But this feature is somewhat limited in use when are in elite league with a very high elo (some games have players in 2000+ elo) and you end up playing players with 600-700 elo than yours where the skill gap is huge, and you gain under 1 elo for a win.

I propose the following:
When you are in elite league, that "I am ok with playing with my level" drop down bar turns into Elite league only with a elo difference slider with increments of 100. You can filter by your elo +/- 200, 300, 400, 500, and no limit (I think +/- 100 is too restrictive). This way stronger players who are looking for quality games don't have to get matched against players who make into elite league but hovers in the 1300 elo range.

Hi,
Do you speak about Elo (the overall ranking, including non-arena games) or EAS (Elite Arena Score: the "special Elo" ranking created and used only for Arena games, which determines your global rank)?

Elo starts with 0 and best players have 300, 400, up to 1000 depending of the game popularity.
EAS seems to be centered around 1500 (much more like Elo score used in international chess competition)

The main difference between the two is that the Elo is persistant between arena seasons,
Depending of the measure you want to consider such a feature could end up with very different results.

If you want to take Elo in account, I think some similar ideas for filtering have been discussed in that thread: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... =9&t=15155. The advantage would be that such filters (adding more precise classes of player and/or let the admin of the table set relatively +/-100, 200, etc.) could benefit both for arena and non arena games.

Such a system could be used similarly for EAS though.

My 2 cents,
