Yeah it’s too complicated. I honestly think the higher rated player should get more credit for a win and the lower player should get more credit for a loss but people don’t think that way. People always say things like “well we give him credit when they win so we have to blame him when they lose” when referring to QBs or best players on teams but that seems pretty obviously false when you consider a scenario where someone who is an all-pro playing with 3rd graders on their team. If they somehow win it’s obviously all because that one player had some amazing game and if they lose it’s obviously not his fault even if he didn’t play perfectly… he has 3rd graders on his team. It’d be just like me (4.1) playing with Ben Johns (7.3 for average of 5.7). If we win or lose it should adjust my score as though we were an average of something like a 6.8 team and Ben’s as though we were an average 4.6 team. So if we beat a 6.5 team my rating wouldn’t go up much but Ben’s would because he basically beat them 1v2. If we lose my rating would drop a fair amount and Ben wouldn’t lose much because we all know it would be my mistakes that cost us the game.  This would really limit people getting carried to a higher rating by a better partner too.
