2 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: 2 Imho FFA's should not affect Elo because of their inherently random nature.

3 - 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 3 - 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
4 - 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. 4 - 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.
