Talk:Elo rating system/@comment-82.117.108.160-20120627204855

Hey, I havent look into the system that much, but I am just wondering why I get less elo than my friend even though he is higer ELO, and this is not by much, he got around 1400 right now, and I got around 1350, but it started with me having 1180 and he had 1200, why does this happen? I thought i would get more ELO if i win game against aka. "harder matchmaking", but its the other way around, he also loses more ELO than me if we lose, but we win alot more than we lose. Plz help me with this, thanks.
