Playing more games doesn't make you better. Being active doesn't make you #1. If you want your Ranking System to be an activity check, by all means do nothing. But most people who give a damn about ranks want the ranking system to accurately measure who the best is.

I'm not going to be insulting or disrespectful. This isn't suppose to be personal, but Zalf is not among the best 15 players in Toribash in any mod in Toribash in actual skill level. Plenty of those 15 log on and play nearly every day. He isn't anywhere near that. He's above average. If Zalf plays the average 3rd Dan I don't doubt that he goes 5 wins for every 1 loss. But I highly doubt he could go even 2 to 1 with any legitimate top 50 in Toribash in his best mod, let alone across many competitive mods. That's the last I'll say, this shouldn't be personal.

You have a system that rewards sneakily playing 10 players and going 9-1, while completely avoiding the players who you would lose 3 out of 4 games with. It's a noob farming system, with a monthly reset. The only improvement is that at least it only happens in mods that are competitive. We don't have any rank 3 global players from Shaolin Soccer



Match making, random mod out of a competetive list, playing a series of 5 rather than just one match, and longer seasons fixes all of these problems.
