Why ELO discourages antistacking

[Elephanthead]

Well not all players are the same in all situations or on all days. You might say hey Peyton Manning is awsome, then put him against the Pittsburg Steelers in a snow storm and he sucks. You end up with a lopsided game even though the expected outcome was 50/50. With allgiance there are so many variables to consider, you would need a million games to be able to setup an elo autobalance that was reasonable correct, and it would have to consider commanders, settings, factions, time of day, etc. I like the idea of going back to AZ factions ranks and balancing based upon that. I don't know how many people become 15s by whoring noobies all day long with rix destroyers, but couldn't fly a fighter at all. Plus factions ranks are fun, especially belter.

Thanks Ele, but you're like 45 days late to the topic.
