Here is a screenshot from a tournament I played today:
Here is the link: lichess.org/tournament/8a6pQggS
I finished in 9th place with 14 wins instead of 3rd place. 6 people with fewer wins finished above me because of the bonus points for winning streak. I understand why the admins created this feature. They wanted to discourage people from resigning immediately and moving on to the next opponent whenever they are matched against somebody they might lose.
I think there should be a better way to prevent this that doesn't have negative side effects. The current implementation is unfair to people who are winning more games than others but just not in a row. Interestingly, I don't always have such an unlucky winning streak. For example, I won this tournament lichess.org/tournament/EsK0fVcA and this tournament lichess.org/tournament/Ypfjdz2E.
The winning streak depends on my mood at that time. That means when I'm not in the right mood to score a good winning streak, my experience with lichess is not very good. Therefore, can you please change something about the winning streak bonus points? Either reduce them or remove them and add something else to prevent nexting.
