Quote: If I’m rank 1 or if I was with over than 1700 ELO, if I lose I lose I will lose 12 points and if i win i win only 2 -4 points ?! Do you think this is fair? For me I think it’s not fair and that is because when I’m a high ELO it’s also a fact i will have a worse team ELO players and a better higher ELO enemy and it will be fair teams 50% ELO VS 50% ELO mostly. So, why should i lose 12 points and when win its only 4 points if the game is fair?
Well, that's the point about ELO - if you are better you are supposed to win and it's supposed to be harder. It's not linear!
I agree that you will lose more if you much better then the rest of your team. We could change that modifing the team part of our ELO calculation. It's currently based on 2 * player + 3/5 sum_of_team to factor team and player into the calculation. That way it's a compromise between taking 5* player, which would make it even worse for top players and sum_of_team, which wouldn't consider that a single player can turn the tide.
You should also consider that favor of one side it won't for the others - that's the way ELO works.
