hidden skill rating

[Mag!cGuy]

Rating skill is only changed by ladder games, imagine the disaster if friendlies did too! All your fun games, your special rules games, etc, would demote you

You remain in the 1v1 top 200 as long as you play games in any category. Would you play random 2v2 friendly, you'd stay in the standings ^^
I don't think the rating skill should decrease because you are inactive. But removing people way more quicly from the list if they don't play 1v1 ladder games would be cool

Most of top players play very rarely, or not at all. (alvendor now, for example)
This is why a top player not playing won't plummet in the ranks! Since everyone else around him is as "inactive" as him, the rankings won't change.
