Rating Drop

[ilFalco]

Hi,
I have noticed an unexpected drop of 6 pt in rating this weekend.
I keep track of my rating after each match, and I was 331 this friday after I lost my last match (dropping from 336), and I am now 325.

Isn't that a bug?

Ciao

Another drop of 3 points, looks like the lat match has not been countend for the "grace period". It is a bit annoying, as I am in the top 100...

Did the match you play completely finish (I.e. one hero ran out of health, not someone quitting)?

[ilFalco]

Yes, I did quit

Ratings decay may only take completed games into account (similar to the meltdown bug, where only completed games earn meltdown points), rather than any game that has gone on long enough to earn xp/gold.

If I lose but the game is completed, does it count?

I played a game 5 days ago and had a rating of 289 at the end of it after I won (285 at the start of the game). I just logged in to play a game and I am at 272. I would have thought maybe I could have lost 3 points max over this time, but 17??? There is something wrong here >

Same here. I played my last game in my alt account 6 days ago (according to match history screen), but my opponent quit on the 5th turn. I was ranked at 290 then. When I checked my ranking now, it's only at 278! Even if my last game wasn't recorded due to quitting on the 5th turn, 12 points decay is a bit too much. I'm guessing since my last match before that was 2 weeks ago, it'll just be a max of 4 rating points deduction. 12 is too much.

Well I don't feel bad for you anymore, ILfalco, since we just played and you timed out last turn to give me the defeat bug, as I was going to win the next turn.

EDIT: Chatted with him over PM, and he admitted that I should have won, and he quit the game, but it gave him the win (it is showing his name in green as winning on both our computers in the match history). Weird bug perhaps?
