Maybe we can just do away with the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA, UFC, and MLS too so that the people that aren't recruited into these leagues can feel better about themselves. And everyone at school should be graded on attendance, how dare someone be marked higher for their merit.

ridiculous hyperbole
ladders are flawed for many reasons, you only play one game compared to the fairer best of three matches in a tournament.
you can dodge certain players by choosing when you want to play.
a good rated auto match is a great tool for practising but ladders are a piece of shit and as a community we should be moving away from the notion that they are of any worth.
Tournaments are better as are properly scheduled leagues where every player will have to play each other at least once.
fyi I have never used ladder positions to seed people, I take into account past performances and I watch a ton of replays, streams and vods. The old ladders were never of any use to me.
However I understand that people want them and there's no harm in having them, what I do want is people to put less onus on them, preferably none.

The people that want more than just a ladder are unfortunately in the minority of a niche community.

I had, for a time, two accounts in vCoh. One account I used when I felt like playing serious; I only played in the morning when I was alert and sober. It was evening in western Europe when I played, and I got about an 8:1 W/L ratio, and faced a fair amount of the top tier players.
My other account I only used when I was drunk, which was (usually) at night. The only people awake were Americans/Canucks/Brasilians/Chinese guys, and none of them were very good. I got a 20:1 ratio on that account, despite not ever playing sober while using it.
Also, while I won't name names, I'm sure most of you all know those guys who were consistently level 17+ or front page of the leaderboard, yet never got even close to winning a tournament.

I don't see how anyone could read IpKai's post and not understand why ladders are inferior methods of determining player skill. Let me provide an anecdotal example:

1) Luck usually doesn't balance out over such a short period of time, whether it be coincidence or RNG dice rolls. Remember that ridiculous Croc Sherman Sepha had in SNF? Just imagine if that bullshit decided the last game of the finals (I'm sure stuff like that does happen pretty often, I just couldn't think of a better example)
2) Playing better on a given day doesn't mean someone is better overall, just better on that day. The Patriots were by far the best team in the 2007 NFL season winning every game until the Super Bowl, but the Giants outplayed them that day after barely even making the playoffs.
Nobody is saying that ladder position= world rank, but a combination of level, W/L ratio and opponents beaten gives you a pretty decent idea how good someone is. Yesterday SlimShady was saying that he's never entered a tournament, but he wins about 90% of his games and beats some of the people that have placed well in tournaments, so ladder/auto isn't as useless as some people think it is.

But ladders have to be part of the equation

Make it like it was before and ladder will mean something in COH2
I know it would be a punishing ladder for a lot of players, but it will be a fair ladder where top players will be matched vs top players and where a game spammer cannot reach top positions if he is not also a good player
