Imho FFA's should not affect Elo because of their inherently random nature. If you play a lot of FFA's you notice a pattern that in a longer timespan it causes the player's Elo to converge to average:

- the purple stars keep losing Elo while playing FFA's because they lose more often than it would be expected from the Elo, because of random factors

- at the same time players with low Elo will keep gaining Elo because they can randomly win some games which they otherwise would never win looking at their Elo, again because of random factors. A good example is this game.

TLDR: FFA is Elo-averaging game mode. Which means it screws up well-balanced teams-Elo when played. Which means it should not affect said Elo.

It
can
still
use
the
Elo
for
balancing,
for
example
in
team
FFA's,
but
it
should
be
read-only
mode,
because
these
games
are
still
random,
so
it
is
quite
pointless
to
determine
ratings
basing
on
them.
