Board Game Arena

I get this a game of luck mostly but does anyone have wild swings where you just continue to get destroyed by players with 100Elo? And I wouldn’t mind if it was 1 or 2 games but it seems it’s like 10 in a row. For instance, my last 2 games I had a person win a hand with 3 cards for the game win, then next game the player got 4 mermaids. Any one?

I had well over 400 ELO then lost 10 impending a row. Crazy business.

That's luck for you.

Used to be up at 370, now I’m at half that.

Yes, you managed to get above 400 a few times, but couldn't keep up.

You didn't "use to" be at 370, you hardly got above 300 once


I'd say you both are now at your "regular" levels more or less. You get lucky, you go up, you get unlucky, you go down. It is pointless to look at your peak elo, only the "average" elo over a certain period is any meaningful.

Oui je suis assez d'accord, je le vis actuellement et c'est très énervant...
J'ai souvent l'impression que l'adversaire a acheté l'algorithme pour gagner facilement contre moi...
Malgré tout, je continue à jouer au mode Arène sur BGA car c'est le seul moyen d'être reconnu à l'international.
