Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

If I'm not mistaken, the rating will determine the final standings for the ranks (for a certain period of time - it's not yet clear what period). That is, the rating will determine the winner of the overall championship, which is essentially a Tournament. And you're asking, what does the Tournament have to do with it.

I don't understand what you don't understand here :) A place in a specific Tournament is one thing. And a rating based on the results of several Tournaments is another. The participation of players is random. Therefore, the subjectivity of the places occupied by the players is greater than their ACTUAL results in days. I think Kamikadze understands this and provided you with two posts as examples, where he says that the RESULT must be taken into account when calculating the rating.

Secondly, the absence of strong participants will inevitably lead, as you rightly noted, to the fact that others will take their places.
Why this bothers you is unclear. There are no irreplaceable people. And dragging

the 1st Tournament
Player A - 3 days - 1st place
Player B - 4 days - 2nd place

2nd Tournament
Player A - 10 days - 1st place
Player C - 100 days - 2nd place

Player B simply didn't participate in the 2nd Tournament.
As a result, with a system that takes the result into account, we will get that in the final rating, Player A will have a higher rating, Player B will have a lower rating, and Player C will have a lower rating than Player B. And if only the PLACE is taken into account, Players B and C will have the same rating - is this correct in your opinion? Many have already realized that this is not correct, so Kamikadze came up with another system and is now using it, although I don't know if it has been officially adopted.

Thirdly, it is very likely that the winner in the end, say, of the year will be a player who has not won the most prize-winning places, but has received a higher rating (i.e., has created a gap for himself once). This is what you will achieve. And no matter how much others "tear themselves apart" later, they will most likely not have the opportunity to catch up with the leader.
Are you familiar with the word "competitiveness"? Or, Shurik, is this not our method?

What you wrote is complete nonsense, because you obviously don't understand the proposed system. Having created a gap in days in one of the Tournaments, which is several times greater than that of the other participants, the leader will still not receive more than 100 points :) But at the same time, he will significantly lower the rating of the others, and, for example, they will receive a rating for this Tournament from 1 to 10 points. But what does this say? It says that the players performed very poorly on the map. And the top and middle players were absent. But what prevents one of these players from becoming the leader next time and getting a hundred? What inaccessibility of the leader are you talking about? In addition, I am also a supporter of the aging rating, so that there is no gap due to the accumulation of ratings from Tournament to Tournament.

Excuse me, but you are not far-sighted. Let's take the best in account. Plus, we haven't had large maps yet. But who said that there won't be any.
You are unfairly referring to practice, which can "end" at any moment, and this moment is obviously not far off.

Well, okay - not far-sighted :) The rating has already been calculated for 8 stages. You just don't want to understand the situation and that the game Heroes is specific and different from any sport - so comparisons with a sports rating are, to put it mildly, not entirely correct.

Excuse me, but what is the rating for then? If the rating is for the SAKE of the rating, then I "wash my hands". Although it seems that everything is different.

Well, what do you suggest? :) Just take and count how many times and what place each player took in the Tournament. This is essentially what your proposal boils down to. As Nikolai Ozerov would say - we don't need such hockey :)
