1) You cannot expect people to play at their current rating all the time. There are outside life factors like a rough day at work, health and other bs that makes it impossible to truly play at a certain level. SovietPride had a nice post where he wrote how someone needs to be 1500+ to even know what tele defense is, but as of late that is sometimes needed to be 1700+ since Gently still does not know what it is. Also, you cannot help but admit you know a lot of people are intoxicated, wasted, etc hence my comment about the blood alcohol level.
2) The devs and community agreed or decided or whatever to allow multiple mods to contribute to rating. As an engineer it makes zero sense to me as to how to solve this issue by adding more variables. You are supposed to move them as a method to nail down the "smoking gun."
3) We need to agree on how to consolidate the contributing factors to rating. It would likely be easier to agree that people who get to 2k rating by playing only dual gap probably are more like 800 on Setons or some other try-hard map.
Case example: willboyle being 2k rated is so laughable veins start to get strained from the pressure on one.
4) People need to realize we as a community allowed a very simplified set of "roles" where someone is "air player," someone is "eco spot," someone as "front."
This creates a problem where people get so caught up in "meta" they deny playing anything else with intuition or get hit with a "oh shit... I got to switch gears a bit" and improvise. Naive and ignorant, asinine game play has resulted leading to everyone hating people and telling them they are a "noob" if they don't follow suit.
Just try joining a setons game and playing navy as front and asking people to use drops to get middle mass. Watch what happens...
In the end, we have all created this issue and need to solve it together if we really care enough.
Far as I am concerned, we all lost:
