Don't call people out by name in forums

Replace it with **** and tell Zep.

Uh.... what was this about?

Apparently there's some exploit out there that prevents people from gaining/losing rank after completing a game.

yes, if you start a game before the last one was counted, nothing new, hardly abusable
and why would one do it? you cant do this forever because if you are 2k rated but play like U1000 then you wil probably lose every game anyway and i would not matter if you prevent loses, you would still drop again

i doubt that this can be a big problem as it probably only works in team games

Well, I don't think rating system works in team games anyway, but if it is that easy to cheat on the rating system in team games you might as well remove rating from team games. That way it is just frustrating.

Or are we now supposed to all manipulate our ratings like that so that it fits again?

Or the people who knew about it could have kept there mouths shut till it was quietly patched... While banning people who blatantly abused it continuously....

SC_Account: rating gives you an idea of balance which might be not that important on setons or 1800+ because you know most people but it's very usefull for medium range games

Nom: this can be done without notice and sometimes it's unpreventable (ie. when a players is afk and stays in game) but again the particular use of it would be so minimal...

people are exaggerating on rating. you cant balance around 100 rating. for me there are 5-6 steps. each 300-400 rating. the skill in different spikes a lot for me and most persons i kmow
