One of the problems the ratings now face is that the rapid rise of servers (for example, Kaineng) has extracted points from the lower tiers and transferred them to the upper ones. Now a dominant performance in one of the point depleted lower tiers will not garner enough points to move the server up. ANet’s attempt at resetting everyone to the same level was clearly going to lead to problems, but having the rankings stagnate is a problem as well. I would think that ANet could come up with a graded approach with resetting rankings such as resetting T1 to 1750, T8 to 1250 and adjusting the intermediate tiers in a corresponding fashion. This would recognize the past efforts of the higher tiers while making the ratings more dynamic.
I suppose this is all fairly obvious and I apologize to those who may have suggested a similar approach in the past. The numbers I used were purely for examples and better values could probably be arrived at by looking at the past history of the rankings.

One of the problems the ratings now face is that the rapid rise of servers (for example, Kaineng) has extracted points from the lower tiers and transferred them to the upper ones.
This happens EVERY time any server goes up a tier.
I think a infusion of points in the lowest tier (as this tier only looses points, no one ever can get up into it) and a reduction of points in the highest tier (as this tier only gains points, no one ever goes up from it.) is needed to avoid a total FREEZE of the tiers sooner or later.
Infusion and Reduction could be something like (half can be easily varied) the following which is applied “between the matches”:
The first server looses half of the points he is in advance to the second, and the second looses half of the points he is in advance to the third.
The last server gains half of the points he is behind the second-last and the 2nd-last gains half of the points he is behind the 3rd-last.
For the table above
JQ was 77pts before SoR, so it’s rating would be reduced to 2170
SoR was 12pts ahead of SoS, so it’s rating would be reduced to 2133
ET was 36pts behind FC so ET would be increased to 638
FC was 260pts behind SF so FC would be increased to 786
This way the flow of points from the lower to the higher tiers gets balanced with a flow from 1st to last tier.The mean in T1 is reduced such that switches between T1 and T2 become possible and the mean in T8 would be increased such that switches between T7 and T8 become possible again as well.
Ceterum censeo SFR esse delendam!
