I recently saw a youtube vid where this guy was talking about how the league system in starcraft 2 seems to work best for not just competitive types, but match making.
I think ranks can still be in, but they shouldn’t have baring on who you’re matched up to play with. Blizzard had a stroke of genius with this as the league system also makes frauds obvious and irrelevant. I’m pretty new to halo 3 and one thing I learned quick, was to stay off the mythic playlist as the 50s are all over it. With a league system, that would never happen as i’d be in the bronze or wooden league, thus i’d never be against a gold/diamond/etc. super player. Newbies can learn the game and get better instead of being br’d dead before your visor barely finishes initializing your hud. Super mlg zomg pro players wouldn’t have to be bothered by having crappy players on their team or going against green players.
