Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

The examples provided by the esteemed IronAxe perfectly illustrate his points. Firstly, we shouldn't focus solely on the tournament leaders. The tournament isn't just about them; quite the opposite, in fact. The system's imperfections can affect absolutely any segment of the players. Secondly, it's necessary to understand the potential opportunity I'm suggesting for a player, let's say Player X, to catch up with Player Y, who suffered a significant loss in one tournament against Player Y (although they finished 2nd, they are still a strong player), but is denied this opportunity in the future simply because it's impossible due to other map characteristics. Distributing the rating based on placement would avoid this. As I've already said, this significant flaw in the system can be easily illustrated with the example of track and field. Let's say we have all-around athletes: we sum their ratings according to the results obtained using the IronAxe system in the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 1500, and 5000-meter races, and then determine the overall winner based on this. It looks ridiculous. Thirdly, I believe that the possibility of discarding 1-2 of the worst results at the end of the year looks quite appealing.
