I don't think it makes much sense to combine them - what's wrong with having two? That way you can specialize. I am not good in ladder, if it would affect my global ranking, too, I might stop playing ladder at all.

It might be just the map you're playing, Gap leaves little room for early aggression, Seton's has very established patterns etc. If you play Wonder or another open map you should benefit from your 1v1 aggression. But remember that it's different from 1v1 since you might be facing 1v2 or 1v3 if your team is chilling in base playing sim city.

custom games can range from teamgames to 1v1's and to FFA's.
that is perhaps why it's called a "Global" rating.

whilst ladder is purely 1v1.

i quiet like the idea of putting it together again, and thats why:
1. we get overrated players again
1.1 you can farm them
1.2 you can pretty easily stack against them (not that poeple arent doing it anyway, you know who i mean)
1.3 lobbysimulator will be easy with noobs cuz theyll be like oh hihg rated player lets join his team
2. its not like players who are bad at 1v1 but got some experiecne on teamgames (me, me and goddamnit ME) will stopp playing ladder again... wuhhuuu so many people playing ladder anyway -> playing always the same players at ladder -> AWESOME
3. ladder rating =1v1 skill ; global ratign = custom games skill (you can host your own 1v1 like people do)

So you see put them together again youll only gain advantages from it

Sry lexington but to even consider this isnt even funny. Simply host 1v1 in custom games might be a solution to your "low" rating

It's a bad idea. I had a global rating from 2400 only because I played ladder games and that was way too high. It's good as it is now.

Global never affected ladder, only the other way. So you'll never be placed against an higher-rated opponent on the ladder (unless if the system is still learning you).

I do support making ladder affect global.

However, may be bring back even older system with only one ranking system? I never saw that system, but i heared that it made 1v1 players over rated for team games too. Can anybody describe why it was changed and if what i heared is right could those issues be fixed by the tweaking the amount of points you gain from 1v1s?

It was removed temporarily because of some people abusing it, yes. It was eventually left as it was, though, because 1v1 was affecting global rating, making people somewhat overrated.
