Hi

Was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

I played a 1v1 match and won, yes my elo was alot higher than my opponent so i thought i would get +1, instead i got a -26 change.

I also have a unit member who has had this happen a few times. I could understand if i chose my opponent and just tried to pick on new players or the lower rankings, but it is random who i get and yet i get penalized for it. It just doesn't seem right to me.

Did you win or loose the game before? The game always seems to be behind on recording games for me. I'll win two games and it won't show it on my record and then after a several minutes it'll update. I have had 0 elo increases on a win but never a negative.

I think this happened to me the other day. I played two matches in Div 1 against a seriously outmatched opponent, got -17 both times. I think I had been on a roll before that, but may have lost the match before these two. I don't know if my ranking dropped. I don't care too much about elo, but it was disappointing as I do try to leave queue if I am only facing people 500+ elo lower.

Lost 91 in a win....THATS CRAZY!!!

The SSR is not working cause there are not enough players. The enemy is a Lottery...Is he strong or weak..You never know.

This needs to bee reworked..I also would ban One Shoot Rocket thrower from Solaris.

Yes... I was on a win streak at the time, lost 8 ELO upon defeating someone I strippeed four components from (including his head), and did 600+ damage to.

Just to verify, this happens after accounting for the 15 minute ELO update interval, right?

So, I've seen something often that LOOKS like this, but what is actually happening for me is:

• Fight Battle A, lose, lose X amount of ELO
• Fight Battle B, WIN, but the pilot's SSR is so low that the amount of ELO gained is 0.
• ELO CHANGE still shows the ELO loss from Battle A, because 0 from Battle B is not a change.

^This is something that PGI should correct however, because it is not clear.
