Typically, you may be 2800 here and still VERY EASILY lose against 3 1800 rated players and finish 4th as they would mostly be afraid and would attack 3 vs. 1.
lol I was 2302 hyper bullet and played a bunch of 1/4 ffa standard games and (playing against players rated between 1400 - 2100) it took me about 20 games of winning and the sometimes getting second with @rk_killermac (he was playing a lot of this mode with me at that time) as first. I then played three games with a lot of lag and just down right bad playing and went from 2350 to 2183. And NO I am NOT asking for a rating refund (it sorta bugs me when people do that) I'm just trying to give an example for this particular aspect of your post.
LONG STORY SHORT: I agree
lol
hyper is a completely different story from rapid, but rating changes are still garbage (3rd place is -15 against +/- 300 rated players for me...)
