Hi all,
Long time player, first time poster.
Had a chat with a helpful lad in Aeolos after seemingly losing or not gaining rating from won games, but losing plenty from lost games. Using (FAF bitbucket link here, which the stupid forum won't let me post), found that during game 5511697 (setons 4v4, I won) my rating went from 818 to 817. Whilst not significant I have been feeling like there's been something wrong with my rank for some time, ie. losing lots of rank for lost games and gaining none/very little for won games. Surely regardless of balance (86.375% in this case), winning a game should never result in your rank dropping?
5467383 is another example whereby I won (Setons again) in a game with decent balance (84.875%) but gained almost no rank (8 measly points), yet when I lose a game with similar balance, my rank drops 20-30 points. An example of this is game 5501512 (79.875% balance) where I lost 27 points.
How is it possible to lose 3, nearly 4, times as many points for a losing game, than gained in a winning game? Especially since the balance was better in the winning game, if anything this should have had a greater impact on rank than the losing game?
I know there was a rating bug a couple of months ago which was fixed, but surely something isn't right here, and I can't be the only one?
