You're right. I didn't reset. I'm now getting the same result either way. Good catch.

I'm personally just hoping I stay somewhere near the top 10 once rankings start to settle down ;). I'm definitely enjoying #2 while I'm up here, though... (1 game gave me almost 500 points! My second win ended up taking points away, though...)

I'm just hoping to get paired up against one of these titans of rating so I have a shot at stealing points from them :).

I love how in this last update, that The Impaller brought 4 people into the top 10 solely based off playing him.

The way it's working now is definitely wrong. People should not be getting a hefty boost just by losing to someone ranked higher or losing tons of points because they *beat* someone bad. I realize things would shake out somewhat eventually, but I still think the system as it is isn't a good system for Warlight. I don't think it should work like that and when a game happened, if you're going to look back at previous games, should matter a lot. A game that happened a day or two ago should matter much more than one 2 months ago. People's skill at the game will change over time and if the system ignores that then it isn't going to work very well.
I don't see much reason that we should give the current system more time. It will definitely look better after some weeks, but I still think it's an inappropriate system for a game like Warlight with players of changing skill and whereby it isn't really appropriate for everyone to play everyone.
