First off, thanks for making the ladders available now that Relic couldn't figure out to make it in-game from the beginning.

That said, I have been wondering if the ladder position is actually working right.

What got me started was that I was like position 1.600 one day and the next day - without playing at all - I was at 6.000 and something.

I thought that might just be because I had been surpassed by other players who had scored wins in the meanwhile. After all, the player base must be growing (albeit slowly?).

However, yesterday something odd happened. In the - for competitiveness totally unusable - 3v3 category, I was at a non-aweinspiring 98.000-something place(yes, lots of losses due to ppl not ocooperating in automatch 3v3+). My win ration was 42%

Then, after 1 win (yes, it DOES happen), my win ratio was up by about 1%, BUT MY POSITION HAD JUMPED 90.000??

Now, I understand that these ladders use ELO? And that they probably include a lot of players who may not have played more than a few games. Or maybe it even includes players without any multiplayer games in 3v3+ categories at all. So maybe these players are lumped together in the middle of the ladder and not moving ever.

In that case, however, I would expect them all to be standing with either a 50% ratio or with a zero ratio/zero rating. In either case, my single win should hardly let me overtake all these idle players?

Because I assume, that is why I jump 90.000 positions. It can hardly be that as many as 90.000 players have ratings that close that one single win promotes me that much?

A final explanation is ofc, that there is a technical problem with the ladder. I have no idea, I just wonder what is actually going on?
