I played a game with one of my friends who was about 1300 points high and i am 600 points, i was put up by 19 points and him put down by a damn 400 points. I think this is rather unfair, sure they were beaten by me, but did they really need that much removed?
It's because your friend had only played a single game or two. Brand new accounts swing points like this in order to try and place them in their correct rating as soon as possible. As your friend plays more games, his rating will not be subject to these wild swings.
