What Krzychu said. Also you should note, that the more games you play, the more accurate the rating is, so arguing Summer was 2365 can also be countered by simply saying, she is not anymore. Every rating system will have small flaws that'll need time to be corrected.

We already explained lot of times how this rt ladder work.
Also what matter is true skill meant, not rating if the player you play vs.
After reach a standard deviation of 60, More you play, more your rating will decrease. Bc you will tend to lose more than you were used to.

They now have six of the top 10, one of the top 1, three of the top 3 and 3 of the top 5.... not bad!

Gnuff and Timi are crashing the party now.

I think there should be more incentives to stay active on the ladders.

You get free points, I think that is incentive enough. If you want more activity, fix the templates people don't like.

No, it is not enough incentive. Less than half of the 'top' players are actually ranked on the 1v1 ladder at any given moment. Think about it; is sze ranked? Gnuffone? Timinator? Let's check by clan: WG has five players ranked on the 1v1 ladder, and you guys have 12 players total. Apex has none ranked out of 10. [20] hasn't had anyone ranked in months. Lynx has four players ranked out of 21. GG has three players ranked out of 21.

Of course, this isn't taking into account factors like being busy in real life, etc. But you have to admit that the 1v1 ladder never actually shows the truth of things, because so many of the best players are never ranked at the same time. If everyone in the top competitive clans were to be ranked on the 1v1 ladder, at the same time, then the top 100 would look a lot different.

So, I say again, I think there needs to be more incentive to stay on the ladders, especially the 1v1 ladder, instead of just dropping out whenever it's convenient.

I thought you were talking about the RT ladder (which is why I made the template comment). Moving on to 1v1 ladder.

If I have already gotten #1, as many of the players not playing it have...why would I want to keep playing it? To keep sharp I suppose, but there is also promo league, clan league and other ways to do that. Points don't matter for those players, but perhaps they would if more unlocks were made at higher levels. The downside to that is you end up with more lotto games just to grab points. Perhaps boosting the points from ladders would help, I don't know.

Another thing that would help is a real clan ranking. Right now there is no incentive to get more points because spam clans can just add 3 nobodies and jump ahead anyway. But that only helps in the clan world (does nothing to encourage non clan top players to participate in the ladder).

Another thing that might help is a combined rank from all ladders. Total points, total rating, whatever the formula. Then people would be encouraged to play all the ladders and get a higher total rank.
