    +1 for reting decay.

    @BDK16 rating decay wouldn't apply to you, only to rates higher than a certain amount.

    Personally i use rating system to tell how good my opponent should have been (after ive knacked him/her......ok, so i loose too). I like the idea of a staged decay...over a certain level...but since i've not achieved such lofty heights as >245 then it doesnt matter.

    What i would like though, and not sure how feasible, is a rating for each Hero deck. I'll explain. With Boris or Jericho, I'll give anyone a game, and win majority. So would expect the levels of rating i'm currently achieving....BUT, me with my mage deck, or the shadow deck i'm tinkering with and its thanks for the 50xp. My rating should be around the 150 mark......but it shouldnt therefore drag down my Jericho or Boris rating.

    Thoughts?

    Exactly. This ties in another debate I was trying to avoid as it's been discussed numerous times before. The current rating system. As is, the rating system needs decay, IMO. As N3rd pointed out, he could have stayed in the top 20 if he had chosen to stop playing. What's the point in that? How is that competitive? If someone plays each day, or even twice a week, whatever, the current system will "Pull" them to the average rating. This would allow all players to be competitive and actually have a ranking system with "real" leaders at the end of the season who put time in to play against others, cheats, bugs, exploits and all. If we have to play through this and be rated appropriately, everyone should. Decay guarantees that people would be active.

    Now if you change the current rating system... Would you need decay? Prob not. It would become based more on actual skill, not as much luck as it is currently.

    If I had stopped playing after the first two weeks of 1.25 I would be 328. I didn't though so now I yoyo from 240 to 260 which I think is my true rating with my amber deck.

    +1 decay should be implemented. If your "good enough" to be high rank then you obviously can dedicate more tine to this game. Just like with ant card game
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
