In football, they use a round-robin system, with many games for each team against every other team. Here, in Tournaments, it's a small group of 4-6 people with vastly different skill levels, followed by playoffs, often in a best-of-one format, where randomness in hero selection can easily lead to even the objectively strongest player losing that single game. Or, the objectively second-best player might immediately face the best. And if someone plays all the Tournaments throughout the year, that's one thing. But how do you evaluate those who play only 1-2 Tournaments a year? In general, the nature of Heroes of Might and Magic Tournaments is quite different from football.
In tennis, it's purely a playoff system, and a ranking exists.
Currently, there's a good Nitro ranking, and even if a few people are theoretically not in the right place, it doesn't really affect anything.
Perhaps purely tournament-based games would be an even more accurate ranking. Although, in team play, playing in a weaker bracket can raise your ranking higher than it actually is (like in my case).
We need to answer the question: what's the purpose of having the most accurate ranking possible, and how does it affect things? And is it worth the effort?
