I mean just recently I played 3 singles games, 6 players per game, all super elite players, and most if not all had close to 2500 rankings plus, I won 1 and lost 2 and lost points. I mean I win 60 for a win and lose 32 and 33 for each loss? I win 1 of 3 games and lose 5 points, lol (rolls eyes) this has constantly happened to me over the months, which is why i play more teams. Now if my rank was 2500, i would play way more singles game, they are pretty fun when you got super players playing, but so hard to maintain a 50 percent win rate in singles, extremely difficult, almost impossible against super players and luck dice at times.congrats to al on the list above
Your point is well taken, but your math is a bit off...
Let's assume 5 players at 2500 points and you at 3500.
You would lose 28 points, and a win would yield you 70 points.
So winning 1 out of 3 would net you +14 points.
So to break-even you would need to win 2 out of every 7 or 28.6%.
Naturally, it would be impossible to maintain a 28% win ratio playing 6 player std esc games with excellent players, and if this was all you played it would gradually bring your score down.
But this is exactly how the scoring system is designed to work.... it's just like a tractor pull, where the sled offers progressively greater resistance as it is pulled.
