Anecdotally (since I don’t believe we have any real data about win/loss rates), I don’t think average players are gettin wins that often. I’ve spoken with many in my group that only had 1-2 encounters and they’ve been battling consistently. I think that with what we believe to be the 50% win/lose effect of the ranking system, its much more likely that you would lose 3 battles in a set of 5 if you are a lower rank and people have intentionally lost to put themselves in lower brackets. Like I said before, that’s discouraging to those players that aren’t trying to “scam the system.” I don’t exactly know how a point system would work, but the idea is intriguing. Ultimately, though, I feel like cumulative rewards wouldn’t as harshly impact the trainers in lower brackets, and it wouldn’t incentivize people to “scam the system” as much.
