RE: Various Ranked Battle & League Rating Changes

in #splinterlands2 years ago (edited)

Can we also do something about win-streaks and double Rating points?

Rating changes should be zero sum, but the double-rating points for win-streaks are actually a major contributor to the systemic rating inflation that brings low-level decks to high leagues every season. This further provides easy winstreaks for levelled decks so the rating inflation expands through every league.

The current change will improve the impact of the end-of-season reset for players, and also narrow the Tiers at Champion, so there will be less reliance on win-streaks to climb back to previous tiers. Maybe this is the perfect time to finally eliminate the double-rating bonus for winstreaks and take a positive step towards combating Rating Inflation?
