Why would ELO be shit? It's used for everything

Are there ways to exploit it? Yeah probably. If you can convince most of your opponents to lose on purpose so you can qualify higher. Or purposely do shitty so you qualify in the lowest placement

Bnas is against ELO because he knows it measures skill. You can't just do 1,000 battles for the #1 spot. It shouldn't be 10 or 20 either. There are a ton of variables you can tweak if its a good ELO ranking system mod

Or maybe have a tick box for a 'ranked' battle that counts towards your ELO rank. And if you leave it unchecked the battle will still count towards your W/L record but not your ELO rank?

I can already see people making threads "I challenge ___ to a ranked battle"
