Although, if he's hosting a game D/D- and then not giving his opponent opportunity to realize they are against a C, that's bad XD | ||

Ideally the points will be calculated such that the odds of winning directly determine how many points you will get/lose if you have the ability of your current rank. We all know it doesn't necessarily work that way. From the looks of it he's been struggling really hard to even stay at C while D-bashing, so I guess it works well enough. He's lost a lot of games to D's. | ||

After 2 minutes has gone by, I tell them that they are abusing the ladder system and I will punish them for it. In the end, I'll get a lot of fuck yous and he'll eventually disconnect. | ||

edit: I don't think a D+ playing against a D is "abusing the system." Though generally it seems less acceptable to join a lower ranked game than a higher ranked one (that is, if you're D and join a D+ game, it's more likely to be okay with the guy than if you're D+ and join a D game). Though really, in a D vs D+ situation, I think the D player gets the better deal, because the skill difference isn't really that great, and the D player gets something like +162 or -37 on motw. If you win 25% there you're doing fine. | ||

I mean the formulas they use for calculating how many points you win/lose are not accurate. | ||

That record, if he didn't abuse like that, would make him like A- or A, correct? | ||
