Hello,

I noticed something curious on my profile where it shows “top opponent ELO”.

It shows the ELO they are at after being defeated, and I think it should show the ELO before?

Perhaps I’m wrong, but I think that would be more accurate and give us all a little confidence boost :)

I think you're correct

The rating after a game is considered the more accurate rating and is the one used in those types of statistics here.

Interesting thought experiment, as technically the player 'beat' someone at that ELO before they were relegated.

However I agree as after the match the rating is lower... Shrodingers rating perhaps.
