Better GG ranking idea

[Christmas]

Rank should just be abolished all together.

Stupid arbitrary number for nerds to value their time on CS:S. News flash: the entire point of playing is for entertainment purposes, not for you to be duh best GG player evar.

Just as long as wins have fuck all to do with it, it should be based around damage done and how many people you've killed, any moron can win if they join late and get lucky.

no they cant. you have to have at least some skill to win a game, regardless of what level you start at

I concur that the system needs to be readdressed. The idea of specific points for specific guns is a good one provided it's done on a descending scale of the guns used during GG as the problem of the INTENTIONAL late joiners has been abused WAY too much anyway!

The points for winning is fine as it is as long as the late joiners is implicated in the equation. Also, anyone that leaves and rejoins should get their score/rank readjusted to zero and start from the beginning.(for that map only) (Ya ya ya, I can hear it now...."But I get kicked due to my ping, x, y z, etc) that's the way it goes, MOST people do not get kicked and the scoring system should be geared toward the general public and not the few that have a bad IP)

Loss of levels needs not be addressed if one kills themselves as if they are that ignorant of the dynamics of the game then they deserve to lose rank!

Which brings us to the warmup round *sigh* I've been trying for MONTHS to try and help people understand that is just what it is,,, a non inclusive part of the game TOTALLY unrelated to the ranking system "UNTIL" someone decides to slay for the team kill (usually an accident) but when enacted at the point in time where in registers in the actual game it does in fact affect the psycho stats game tracking.
SO, if there is anyway in hell that the warm-up part of the game can be excluded totally from the maps, this would resolve a TON of issues with not only the players, but also the admins that are trying diligently to make people aware to quit the slay for team mates on a warm up!


So to wrap it up, I think that a new system is more than in order here, it's pretty much a "Need to happen" scenario to get us out of the dinasaur age on GG...

Thanks Z for bringing up what I have been looking for that seems like years but is probably more like several months.

Please make it happen!

Possibly dumb question: can it be linked to the statistics system displayed online? If so, the skill ranking system seems to be a good measuring stick.
