Well tbf as it currently stands, it broke. I havent been able to play almost a single ranked game in 2 days in a category id like. Ive managed to play 2 games which were in a category I dont like much. All of the servers are sitting pretty much empty. I don't think the forced mod categories work to begin with.

I feel like people, including myself are starting lose interest/faith in this project. Then again it could just be me.
I get that you guys are working hard on improving this system and I appreciate that tremendously. But I also feel like you are working on this just because people wanted a proper ranking system, not because you feel that proper competitive infra for top players is essential for the game.

I dont think there is a single person in the GM team who is geared towards the competitive side of TB (or cares about it deeply), and it's starting to show. You have implemented great ideas, like the ELO restricted rooms but then implemented new "unwanted" ideas out of the blue like forced mod categorizing with new mods. Pretty much everyone IIRC in this thread and other similar ones have agreed that mixed mods (from every "category") are essential for proper rankings. Instead of listening to them you add mods like deltabox, just because you feel like it. Deltabox is a manifestation of the bigger problem. The problem that some of these ideas are implemented without proper discussion, thought or knowledge.
