ELO

Am I alone in wanting a system where I can lose ELO?
I think you are in the minority. I think I've red thumbed more people in Hanabi than every other BGA game put together. If you have ELO on the line then people will be more competitive, if they added it to regicide chances are it would descend into Hanabi games where players will quit rather than risk losing ELO or get really aggressive from a move that they deem "bad".Vandaley wrote: ↑30 December 2022, 20:08 The Hanabi thing is actually exactly what I want. I want to make it to Kings and get close, but lose and still gain a little ELO if you are not a high rated player. I get there is a toxicity to many Hababi players, but just gaining ELO non-stop is pretty silly with the amount gained in a win.
If you do play Hanabi and hate people who abandon non-30 games, join this group https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=9749982 you an join games with only other players who will not abandon.
So? What is the problem? People who don't care about it can play in training mode. Having an ELO score which just increases with every play is useless (and not ELO). If some kind of meaningful ELO is not wanted, why not make the game (and every other cooperative game) training-mode-only?Earthboundia wrote: ↑31 December 2022, 18:55 I think you are in the minority.

Elo is visible at the start of the game, and give a good amount of the experience of the player.Jellby wrote: ↑31 December 2022, 21:51 So? What is the problem?
