losing and winning points bug

I think that the Rating system we use would be the best system if there was a matchmaking system based on rating; however you can be matched up against anyone, even the lowest ranked players which results in massive loss in rating if you are highly rated. In matchmaking you wouldn't face anyone with a massive difference in rating to you so this problem wouldn't exist.

Correct. The point is that, unlike sports using these kind of rating systems, VortexWars still is about luck and strategy (skills). A sport champion can expect to win most of his matches if he's the most skilled. In VortexWars you can barely expect to win more than, I don't know, 60-70% of games, even versus beginners, there will always be this game where you are last to start, get trolled on a small map, get unlucky 3 rolls in a row in early stage, and so on.

Now if you lose 8 times as much Rating in a single lost match than in the 5 next won games, you cannot really pretend anymore that Rating is an indication of skills in this game... Playing only vs players of equivalent Rating would mostly avoid this unbalance, probably.

Lopdo could you check the ratings please, i'm losing far too many just for losing a game.Lost 526 in one game and my ratings weren't that high to begin with.Adding an edit here a game that would normally earn me 150-180 win just got me 435.I'm sorry if other players think i'm moaning but i did the same when the xps felt out of balance.If you have changed the formula fine but it seems a bit wacked.Had just over 1500 and lost 326 in a game that last week i'd lose 90 or 110.
