With this points system it actually discourages players from welcoming all players regardless of rank to join an open game. Now all the high ranking players just play private games and tourneys with similarly ranked players. Now why should i play lower ranked players when i have to win at an 80% clip just to break even.

Thank you!

pretty sure it's been suggested

It would just cause more work for the mods because every time someone played poorly in a no points game the other player(s) would file a C&A report for intentionally suiciding

I don't think that would happen often enough for this idea to be rejected.

And how exactly is that abuse?

Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts, systematically "farming" new recruits.

MichelSableheart wrote:A player's point total should be an indication of their skill. The current point system is set up under the assumption that if you have double the points of someone else, you are 4 times as likely to win a game. In other words, if you have twice the number of points then another player, and you play that player 5 times, you should be expected to win 4 of them, and if you do, your point total shouldn't change.
A higher ranked player is not being punished for playing lower ranks. If their point totals are good indications of their skill, the higher ranked player should expect not to lose points on average. Only when their point total is higher then reflects the actual difference in ability would they lose points.
If you get a high score by specialize in certain settings, then your score won't reflect your ability outside your specialisation, and you should expect to lose points if you venture outside your specialization.

SgtMadDog wrote:If they dont adjust the formula for all the examples i gave then might as well have a set amount for all players. if you are good then you'll win more games and your points will reflex that, if not they will reflect that skill level as well. as it is now a bad player can win 1 game out of five against a good player and still gain points which shouldnt be the case. as i read the current points/rank system was designed for games of pure skill such as chess. this is not chess, the board changes every game and luck is involved in 75% of it. A change is needed and if you dont see that then you are homophobic nazi who hates asparagus!
