Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

The calculation methodology based on the first parameter (using the recent tournament as an example) will lead to the following scenario under quite plausible developments.

1. With rating decay at 1/10, the gap in results among tournament participants who did not take} 1st place is only about 3 points, which is disproportionate to the effort expended.

2. With rating decay at 1/3, a player who took 2nd place will receive 16 points fewer than a player who took last place.

Moreover, the probability of such a situation arising is very high—it only takes one relatively strong player appearing in the tournament.

The behavior of the oscillator (with rating decay at 1/10) was proposed as a comparison to evaluate the smoothing effect on the resulting imbalance.
