Today i want speak about the fact, when all your game expire, you basically play the worst player of that ladder (the bottom).
Don't you think, instead you should play vs opponent with a similar rating you have last time you played the ladder?

i think it would be more fair.

It wouldn't matter since you have to play 20 games anyway. If you want to get a win streak of 20 and break the actual rating record, then it's bad of course.

hmm not, i was speaking in general.

i think it's better if the system pair you with someone similar to your past rating, just this

It's a good suggestion, the question is how to implement it.

Coders, worth the effort or not?

well it could be easy if system matchup based the last rating you have before you quite the ladder the last time.
as coding would be easy to implement as well.

TrueSkill baby :)

Or if you do not want to haev the whole ladder changed, you can make a hidden TrueSkill rating that'd be used only for pairings (similar to mmr in SCII).

yes trieskillmeant would be the solution, but after it was voted in a polll, fizzer didn't say a word about it.

@FIzzer if you are reading this, could you say if you are working on add trueskillmean in other ladder or you will never introduce this feature? :)
