Elo system is broken.

[r]

Several times, I play against a guy that was 1 rank below me, and usually i 4-5 him. Everytime, I lose 50 ELO. Its honestly broken, and I beat a guy that was like 3 to 4 ranks above me and I got 20 ELO.

If you played ranked you would understand later in the higher ranks, you get destroyed by smurfs.

I once got matched with a guy that had like 900 ping and was 3 tiers under me, and lost 0-5 cause he literally just clipped across the screen and went from gold 2 to like silver 3.
I was so annoyed I kept rejoining the duel queue and ended up matching with one guy who was just better than me over and over since it was 3am and ended up finishing the night on like silver 1 lol. ELO system can be rough.
I think I'm still not even back to gold cause it's just not fun anymore after that night lol.

I agree the penalty vs reward for a loss and win is kind of ridiculous. You can win 3 matches 5-2 and gain like 20 points and lose 1 match 3-5 and lose 50 and drop a rank. It's infuriating. You have to basically be excellent at the game and be familiar with every weapon type to even get past gold.
