Do elo points decay? I randomly dropped 25 points today for no reason that I can think of other than I haven't played ranked in a long time.

Idk if this is still the case, but because they have to keep the Elo system zero-sum if you're at the highest end of the ranking your Elo actually decays upwards. There was a post on the forums where someone was like "chauster didnt play a game but he gained elo wtf" and they were basically like "working as intended".

Because #2 best bird can be a parrot that thinks he's from Russia.

Chau and Jiji both had their Elo decay downwards in the past few days. They lost rating without playing any ranked.

so when 1 person leaves because his game isnt working and it's now 5v4, you report the 5 people that insist on playing 5v4, not the one guy whose pc is broken yeah? intentional disruption of gameplay is justification for a report. the guy whose pc broke has unintentionally disrupted gameplay because he either forces one guy on the other team to sit out or he forces his team to play 4v5, but either way he had no control over it. but when the team of 5 refuses to have one player sit out, all 5 are intentionally disrupting gameplay by forcing a 5v4. so report them all yeah?

The system isn't zero sum by a long shot.

You very often lose less points than the opponents win.


I think the decay upwards was a coding mistake?

honestly, there's like a 30% chance that I am the best Swain lol. Some of the high elos are likely better than me. There's bound to be SOMEONE who plays #2 best bird.

This is how I feel about HURRDURRGOT
Although I guess I can't claim to be good unless I have a rating that will actually show up ingame, right?

I'm not the one claiming they're infallible.

Nobody really is.

The question mark was because I don't know if it was a code error or another human error (ie someone hit the wrong button)
