Hi... anyone can clarify exactly how ELO is done for AOE 2 HD?
I played 5 games since reset. And only one 4v4 game I lost. My rating
is shown as 1603. Are there ratings below which if I play and win, and
still lose points. Why doesn't steam warn me before?

I realize last two matches will not be counted because one ended early, and other is FFA. The reason I might have lost is probably because steam thought i am pulling network plug. (I play on WIFI and IP/ssid exists, hence can't steam assume it is not disconnected even if there is a network fluctuation?) . Even if that were the case, why would one pull the plug when easily winning, or when it is not rated? In FFA, you can see last guy resigned when he built an wonder and have almost nothing to defend it. 1v1v1v1, and i killed all.

Note that during a reset your ranking can fluctuate widly until the entire system normalizes the rankings

Of course I know math behind standard ELO. The link I presented already explains possibly reasons why the deduction happened. Just that I should have option to contest system detected fraud.
