Some thoughts:

Bonus Pool
Would like to have it, as it would help in regards to a lot of the complaints I'm currently seeing and getting feedback on. Again, in due time.

League rankings
Ideally, if you were to take the top 10 of each super-titan division, you could shuffle them to different ST divisons and get a very similar result, with all of them still residing in mostly the top 10. This isn't happening right now because of point inflation, which I haven't handled yet. Again, a bonus pool helps in this regard as promotions wouldn't send you soaring automatically to the top of each division. You'd simply go back to the amount of bonus pool that is currently available (or some percentage of it) to give you a leg up on all the inactives and less experienced that are at the bottom rungs. An 'easy' fix is to reset your ladder points to 0 upon promotion/demotion. It sucks to lose all your points, and doesn't really reflect an accurate ranking.

League points
Right now there is a bias in winning. You win more points than you can lose. During beta this was needed to actually get points in the system! Otherwise, all ladders were mostly the #1 player with a few hundred, and everyone else at or close to 0. I think this problem arised because the small sample of players were all relatively even-matched, so removing the bias may not be an issue now. Regardless, this will most likely be changing in season 2.
