It would be nice if GR developers worked on some kind of automatic ladder.

The problem is that GR is populated by degenerate players. Yesterday, I decided to play a bit. Before that, I thought that GR wasn't working with my current provider, but I created an account just for fun, and people started joining my game. Although, I can't connect to anyone else's game. (to the game itself).
So, the first case. We started playing, and as is customary here, I created a "M" game. The guy disappeared from the game during his turn. I wrote in GR to ask why he did that, but he was already offline. Well, it happens, never mind.

The second case. I created a game. But the leavers were still there. People joined my game. We played for about two weeks, and then, again, a guy disappeared during his turn. I asked in GR what was going on, but... I was ALREADY BANNED! You can't send messages because you are BLOCKED! What a great move!
I was very surprised and outraged. What kind of idiot is this?

In the third game, I was disconnected myself because the opponent was still in the game. "He was done playing."

I forgot to mention that there was a fourth game, where a guy left in the middle of the game because he couldn't break through the blocks. He was playing as Necropolis, with Moon and Zealot. Zealot was the main hero and was somewhat leveled up. I told him, "Just play, don't leave," but he said, "Why should I wait two weeks for the growth to buy and break through the blocks? LOL." And he left. What a great guy :D

A ladder is a great thing for any game. An automatic rating and opponent selection by a program that matches your rating. That's really cool!
The motivation to play for rating is much higher. But because of such degenerates, this idea will fail miserably.

It would be even better if Baratortch worked on this.

But Baratortch can't change the GR code, right? To attract all those players. This is something that GR itself should do, but why would it need to?
Of course, it would be cool if everyone who has the HD mod could click a button, for example, 1-1, 2-2, or FFA, and an opponent would be selected for them. And after the game, a rating would be calculated. But again, this requires a separate server, its support, and a lot of software development.
