More than 80% of players are in Fluffy and Clever?

RE: More than 80% of players are in Fluffy and Clever?
I personally think that the Outwitters system needs to be changed to become a lot more clear.

Copying and pasting this from the first post...

Elite Leagues
Top 50 Super-Titan Super-Titan
5% [Image: GSD1c.png] Titan

Standard Leagues
20% Master League Master
25% Gifted League Gifted
25% Clever League Clever
25% Fluffy League Fluffy


This is really how the leagues should be structured, in my opinion - a fairly even distribution rather then smashing the bottom 80% into two leagues. I also think that the Super Titan should replace the "Top 200". It'd be different if the Super Titan league had over 200 people but, really, there's how many people in Super Titan...? Wasn't it 80-something? I say add a Titan league to be the top 5% and then replace the current "Top 200" with "The Super-Titans", which would just be the top 50 players.

Also, the rating system needs a change. It's very confusing to new players what all the points and numbers mean and often they don't make sense. The game should track everything via the ELO system. It's extremely simple and incredibly accurate, for 1v1 play. It's fairly simple to adopt this system to support 2v2 as well, whether you want to track each team composition with a separate rating or just give player's a single rating that follows them through all playlists and allows for games that are always fair and balanced.

Aside from the ELO bit, the divisions need to be different and adopt the StarCraft 2 system. Basically, by comparing the ELO ratings, a map is either "Equal", "Slightly Favored", "Favored", or "Heavily Favored". This determines how many points you gain/lose when you win/lose. Also, when you don't complete games for awhile, you build "Bonus Pool". This prevents people from just maxing out their games in order to get more points and get ranked higher on the ladder. If you don't play a lot, the games you do win will count for more to balance it out. These points should have no effect on when you move up in Leagues - just the ladder.
