* Including FFA in the casual games rating was shown to increase the quality of the ratings (as measured by predictive power as to who will win games) last time somebody ran the numbers to investigate this. This was some time ago now, I suppose it is possible this has changed based on current FFA habits.

* There are other reasonable arguments as to why FFA games should not affect casual rating. For instance, it removes motivation to unreasonably collude with other players, or to deliberately throw games, in order to manipulate rating.

Actually
doing
anything
about
this
requires
server
changes,
and
also
potentially
database
edits
if
the
change
is
to
be
made
retroactive.
This
will
require
buy-in
from
infra
devs
who
have
not
had
much
to
say
on
the
topic
recently.

I do not think that the FFA game mode will be improved by a bunch of negotiations on the subject of "in which order will the winning player destroy everybody else", or all the losing players trying to hide cloaked stuff in corners in order to be one of the last people standing. Anything other than "winner take all" seems deeply suspect to me on that basis.
