If Bungie wanted less penalty on loss, they should either eliminate the loss streak, or make losses take away fewer points, both. The thing that you want could have been done properly. So ok, the system penalizes losses less now, but it’s worse than it otherwise could be because it penalizes winning too.

You can drive a car across country now! You don’t have to spend 3 months in an ox cart! Why are you complaining? I don’t know, maybe because I could take a plane instead and be even better off.

Your system is analogous to flying across the country and taking more stops and then getting detained somewhere so it takes longer than the car ride would have. Everyone else is hopping in the car and beating the ox and the plane to the destination.

You falsely assume your proposal is more player-friendly than the new system.

Under current rules:

Win += 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 50, 50, 50
Loss -= 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 50, 50, 50

LLLLWLLLLL = -260
LLLLLLLLLW = -435

Under new system:

Win += 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 50, 50
Loss -= 20, 15, 10, 05, 05, 05, 05

LLLLWLLLLL = -85
LLLLLLLLLW = -55

Cody's flat-rate system:

Win += 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 50, 50
Loss -= 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20

LLLLWLLLLL = -160
LLLLLLLLLW = -160
