Q:

I think everyone is in agreement leagues are going to be a blowout due to the population differences in even a league of 3 teams. Servers at the bottom of the leagues are not going to stand a chance and have a good chance at seeing wvw die off due to constant blowouts.

What if there was a handicap based on the matchup’s glicko scores? Not perfect, but it would give a Kaineng a chance to compete against a Maguuma or any two servers with a huge pop/coverage gap.

The handicap can use the server’s glicko ratio.

For instance :

Maguuma 1,745,619
Kaineng 1,395,645
Crystal Desert 1 509.714

Probably too simplistic, but a straight ratio :

Handicap ppt multiple :
Kaineng 1.25
Crystal Desert 1.16

It would be nice to see any server that played particularly well with it’s playerbase size to be able to compete and hopefully a handicap would let them.
