AM 875 I GOT BEAT OFF A 740 I GOT 15 POINTS OFF ME ITS A JOKE THEY EXPECT U TO WIN EVERY GAME TELL ME WOT U THINK IT SHOULD BE LOWWED COZ IF I BEAT HIM I'D GET 0.75 BUT HE GETS 15 THATS UNFAIR IN MY EYES

I personally think it is a fair ammount off points to lose.So i see we should keep it.

Kind regards Paul

Yeah I once had 18 points took off me... would be interested in finding out the greatest number of points lost in one match.... come on don't be embarrassed lol, get posting em!!!

17.5 to a very low ranking person haha

A 875 against a 740...

You should get about 2.3 for that...

It's worse for 900+, edge modification, even against other 900+ people.

i think it should be like funnkypool rules

mavdox i was 930 at 1 time lol i no wot its like u get beat off a 901 they get like 10 points still its unfair lol it should just be a set amount of 5 points hu ever wins no matter wot ranks that would be fair

If it was a set amount of points though you could just keep playing the crappest players of all time and get a huge rank.

I like it how it is.

but if u get beat off a newbie u loose like 17 points and most of the time the people arent even newbies there ppl with new accounts hu were good players so its unfair

Points system is OK if a little like a roller coaster at times.I do agree that losing lots of points to a newbie who is really a pro is a joke so maybe games agianst newbies could have a max loss of say 5 points.

the points lost are reduced if you lose to a newbie!

Just for the comment on "if you win you get 5 points no matter what the rank." and "yeh but you'd play the crapiest players". Wouldnt that make it more competative at the top end?

Think about it, yeah, you beat crap players, but so do the others, to knock them down, you'd have to play them to get in front right? To me, it would seem more competative. Just UL if you're a bit crap at the game, but heck, thats what the practice tables for.

But edge modification should be removed if both players are above 900.

still tho if ur say 920 and u get beat off a 900 u still lose like 10 points unfair in my eyes

it's totally fair stop complaining

I agree that it's fair. What is a game if there is no challange? The last thing we need is for a bunch of players reaching 1000 rank constantly therefore resulting in less of an acheivement.

I lost 14 points yesterday to a 710 ranker, yes i was dissapointed, but only in myself. The more you play the better you get.

Don't play ranked on every game. What works best for me is when i log on, i play a few friendlies and if i do well enough i move on to ranked. Play ranked when you know your on good form.

If you think about it, it's not that much different to funkypool. Yes, you lose more points but you gain more for a win resulting in more of a risk which is what it's about.

its not fair coz a really good player could have to accounts then with his lower ranked account beat u taking your points

i think its ok...i mean i once had 750 and then went down to 630 but still managed to get myself up to 740 so it works both ways really but if it was set points then it should be something like... if you play a 900+ person and you're 700 or less than you get 10 points but if you were 800 you get 5 points

good idea

go from 882 to 821 in 6 games, BRILLIANT IDEA WITH THE POINTS................. not
