Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

And considering the placement, his rating would have dropped. That's how it is :( and it turns out that placement is subjective based on the current pool of players

We are going in circles. Well then, I will repeat myself.

In a situation where a strong player enters a tournament and raises the bar by taking 100 points for a super-run, all other players will be left picking up miserable crumbs of rating. This is an alternative scenario with a non-zero probability. The effort spent on the tournament would be wasted... And the place taken by the second player could have compensated him for the loss of rating when playing against a dinosaur... After all, he still beat everyone else and deserves a reward (grails not counted). But in the end, he will get only 5-10 points more than an outsider who sent their save simply by mistake... (a conditional figure, but a completely possible situation).

That is also a question. And we are not talking about the probability of the outcome here. We are talking only about the flaw in the calculation mechanism.
