Agreed. This is exactly how it should have worked.
- WC league based on highest rating. I agree with this decision by SDS. If you want the best rewards you need to climb the ranks during Ranked Season.
- Once WC starts you should only be playing those in your league and at the same difficulty of your league throughout the weekend. WC matchmaking should be completely separate from how Ranked Seasons works. It is completely unreasonable to have to play at a harder difficulty especially when you wouldn’t even get those better rewards were you to win.
- The leaderboard is just a mess. Unless I missed it, I feel it was a bit deceitful to start people with negative ratings change if SDS never mentioned that. It feels like it was done because SDS had a feeling people would try to cheese the system. I tried to think of a better way to rank people besides ratings change. Number of wins would potentially just work in favor of those that were able to play more. Win % would require everyone to play the same number of games which is unreasonable. So I think ratings change would work best but everyone should start at the same level.
Changes definitely need to be made for the next one.
