Make ladder affect global rating again

[lextoc]

Why was this removed? I liked that each ladder game affected my global rating aswell.

[speed2]

it was removed cause of people that leave ladder games after few minutes to lower their global rating

but if we ban theem straigt away... no problem

/me looks at Gorton

[Aulex]

Or just have matchmaker

[Gorton]

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.

I also want it how it was back in the day.

[speed2]

it is true that in made quite few people over rated for team games

[Apofenas]

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 wouldn't just go 1 way. It would make people who play mostly team games overrated for ladder. They lose their points on ladder and then become underrated for team games.

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).

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.

i don't understand why you would like ladder rating affect team game rating. this make no sense
