I understand your point now. I think we can let the system adjust itself over time. This is the first top 200 list of the new season. After a few more weeks we should see some adjustments in the form of promotion and demotion. I think its quite similar to most sports league matches. You find that in the first few games, even the middle performance teams or the weakest teams can still be ranked quite high in the league. After several matches then we start to see the difference.

The old system was more flawed in the same ways + more. Jacs has a point this system just recently got fixed so it's to early for to say what works and doesn't.

My opinion of the system is that it in the ST league it will tend to keep those who improve the most at the top. In lower leagues I think it will do exactly what it's suppose to though, since those in lower leagues can be promoted. (The goal of this system is so your placement in the division will represent how you compare to others, as oppose to just how often you play, and how you are to going into the next division.) However I do think it will fail, in showing how close you are to a promotion, when you get demoted from a league, as happened to me.
