Hey guys, I'm developing an rpg arena game. Main focus will be 1-1 fights in the arena.

But this is the first time I'm developing a multiplayer game. That's why I wanna learn from others' experiences.

When there is an arena , there is arena points. Different games call it different names like Ranked Points(RP) , Battle Points(BP) etc.

How do you guys prefer to calculate it ?

-A fixed rate ? (e.g. win = +5pt , lose = -4pt)

-A rate that considers the rank difference or level difference? if so , what is your formula?

- any other suggestion?

Look up ELO rating, should be good enough.

Seems pretty good. I guess this would somewhat cap the maximum elo. Since the further you go up , more insignificant the gains will be.

I may implement this one but I still want to check alternatives.

Btw I found 2 different implementations, one that considers number of total games and the other doesn't care about it. The one doesn't care about the total games played looks better to me , since the first one would make it really harder to gain elo the more you play.
