Just how will a ranking system that doesn't truely reflect how good a player
It will add to the game as a whole because MEPBM currently lacks any ranking
system. If you "know" that the top-ranked players are the under-handed sort
that you would rather not play with, then the ranking system has helped you
-- now you know who to stay away from. If I "know" that the mid-range
players are the sort of team players I want to play with then the ranking
system has similarly helped me.
Currently, those who have played the game for a while have an idea of who
they like/dislike playing with -- the newbies are left to flounder (most
likely with the "underhanded crowd"). With a ranking system, newbies are
liklier to meet other newbs and players who aren't obsessed with amassing the
highest score, theoretically improving their experience and preventing drops.
