ELO system for skyteam should be changed

When i want to play a game on bga I expect to be able to use the elo filter to only get people on my level. however for this game this system does not work. the ELO gained after each victory is so little, even with 36 wins i am still often classed with users who have only won a single game (or maybe <5 games if i'm lucky). These users join my red level games without knowing the rules of the modules and most of the time don't ask for help. after a few turns I can always see that we're not going to win and that it's pointless to keep going. This just makes the online experience of this game frustrating and i think a small ELO system rework (even just 2x the victory points) would easily fix this :D

I suggest, as other players did for other games, that you create a group of trusted / more experimented players for Sky Team, so your life wouldn't be so hard

Unfortunately there is currently no ELO system.

Without matchmaking (where the ELO would be necessary for) you can just quit playing the game a I wont rotate new games only to find non-beginner players.

I came here after someone chose to move 1 step instead of 2 but I already got coffee for them and it was obvious. Perhaps an ELO based on both experience and landing successful rate?

You shouldn't expect a brilliant play from a player who won only a single game after all...

Anyway, I posted a suggestion: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=149593

A change was deloyed today, you now get a higher score based on the complexity of the scenario:

Green: 5 points
Yellow: 10 points
Red: 15 points
Black: 20 points

This will hopefully result in higher ELO for more experienced players.
