Talk:Elo rating system/@comment-94.132.44.182-20120823134420

imagine you win and lose a number of games, yet the number you won has to be 5-10 higher than the ones you lost, then, you start losing 3 or 4 matches in a row, i've been noticing that when this happens your K gets higher, meaning you lose more significant elo if you have consecutive losses, i.e. i had this problem once, i was 1406 and lost like a couple of games, dropeed 12 elo in each, then i lose another game, had a nice kd and cs, yet i lose 16, then i started winning again, and i only got 8 for the next 2 games i won, then 12 and finally 16, so now im around 1410-20... why is that? the system was meant to drop the K after some games, yet i have over 120 games played, does anyone know the reason?
