But there is something that must be solved before. There are players registered in one key tournament, but not in season tournament who play a game with a registered player in season tournament. I think that every player registered in heroes world must be automaticaly registered in season tournament or at least every player registered in other tournaments. And in this situation season will a continue rating for all active players.
I tryied to make a ranking list but is very hard, because:
1. Unconfirmed games which are confirmed later. When calculate result at the time of first raport or at the moment of confirmation (position in ranking list it is different)?
2. There are lot of games which are played in the same day, few of them played by the same player in different competitions, so it is important the moment of the raport.
And another problem is because the ranking it is not known at the moment of the game and more experienced players play in season for almost nothing. I hope Nitro will manage to do this soft faster and maybe he will take into consideration this facts.
And another problem is that a game is reported in one day with the date of the game (reported) before.

The permanent rating does a pretty good job of showing the strength of players. People who inflate their rating by playing against weaker opponents will still not rise above a certain level. The top 50 players in the permanent rating are almost all strong players. What would reducing the seasonal rating or adding bonus points achieve? It would only further separate the top players from the average and weaker players.
I once discussed this topic with Pete, suggesting that we increase the rating coefficient for Tournaments. But now I realize that the current rating is quite adequate in reflecting the players' positions.

The seasonal rating doesn't need to be removed from the overall rating; simply reduce the coefficient of points awarded compared to tournament matches. The criterion for evaluating whether a tournament is "worthy" or "unworthy" should be based on whether it is an official or unofficial tournament.
Again, there may be a worthy unofficial tournament, and an official M200 tournament, where you can get lucky and win. And as was written, there will be a new argument about which tournaments to include and which not to.
I am not against changes at all, but please provide a proper assessment of the drawbacks of this rating system, with an example. And who will be in charge of this...?
P.S. In football, for example, the coefficient is only doubled at the World Cup. For us, the mega-tournament is the Fantasy Battle, and that's where we could introduce bonus points or an increased coefficient. But this would create more hassle in the calculations than benefit in the rating, as it already adequately reflects the top positions.

Its important that there is something on the line in regular games. If they arnt reported the quality will fall and the number of suicides and games never finished will increase heavily. Nomatter how much certain people try to convince themselves and others that the ranking is meaningless, its means something to most people.
