I See no problem with ratings or ratio to be honest.
Although Tanx would be great fun if we had the original rating system unlike what we have today.
anyway onto the subject at hand -
Ratio is based on Winning Percentage nothing to do with how many points a player has.
heres an example of a pro ratio.
Nickname - υĸ ωαяяіσя™
Total Games 2237 Wins-1590-647-Loss "Ratio"2.46
1 of my tanx names i no longer have.
If players had no rating and only a ratio which would increase or decrease upon losing " which it does"
Why would anyone bother playing?
sure the games are fun but if theirs no rank to obtain , no (2) Ball To Obtain in billiards or such.
it would be very boring.
I Think the system is perfect.
You Win A Game Your Rating Increases.
Along With Your Ratio By A Small %.
You Lose A Game Your Rating Decreases.
Along With Your Ratio By A Small %.
You Said " ratio should increase instead of rating" in some words , they both increase.
without ratings there wouldnt be toplists there would be no way to know who wins a tournament.
people wouldnt enjoy the game half as much either.
i hope i made something clear here for you.
