Hello,
I think reset the elo it useless because we don't have a really a competive system but we can make something for stimulate people to play more game 1 vs 1 rated.
All know ranking system entice people play more often. Clean the ladder all alpha can be good. About 50% of people are inactive for the moment, It is not a question of punishing them, to identify their level on their return it could be good to enter on their profile their old rating, as a achievement.
2 ideas :
Soft reset.
All player > 1600 reset to 1600 (About 200 players ? )
Inactive leader will be at 1600 so the 100 best active player will be take their place and inactive good people will be 1600 so it ok.
All player > 1400 reset to 1400
All player > 1201 reset to 1201
All player <1200 or unrank to unrank
Why not in the profil pin up the elo before the reset (just for know approximative level and if this people are old or new player)
Reduce the gain of point againt < 1200 or beginner (how do it??). With 3 wins we can rush 1400 rating.
New system
Add to ranking system, a grade system with a limited number people by grade. This will create competition for a better rank. All season all reset to 1200 rating. With a new profil system we can identity good player even with reset rating.
Just for example, just random idea of name.
Emperor : 1 spot
King : 5 spot
Lord : 15 spot
TTTTT : 50 spot
XXXXX :125 spot
YYYYY :200 spot
IIIIIIIIII : 500 spot
Soldat : 800 spot
All ending alpha, we pip up in profil the rank :
A26 : Lord
A27: King
A28 : Lord
In the future we could imagine a logo accompanying the rank in current alpha.
A soft reset
Pourquoi carrement pas supprimer ce système de cote en le remplaca
