Very nice change. I think the champions league will be much more interesting with this change.
If the top-ranked player loose in the moment 36 rating points in one match he can get this back in 3 matches (+10, +10, + 20 because of winstrike) - if he now get only 3 points he need 12 matches to get back his old rating.
But I have one question:
"once players reach the Champion I league at 4700 rating points they will no longer receive a win-streak bonus or have a minimum rating increase for wins. "
If a player reach 4700 he will loose the winstrike and the minimum rating increase, but what will happen if he fall back under 4700 - will he than again able to have a winstrike bonus and the minimum rating increase or will this change be active until end of the season ?
It will change nothing at the very top of the rating. Remember my words.
OK I will remember and check it in the next season.
I am very curious.
In every case I am in doubt if we will really in the next season see ratings over 8000, I let myself be surprised.
To be honest I was really surprised that @jacekw was dominating the last season so clear - I mean in the end he had even 630 points more than @bji1203.
And I'm not surprised at all, he is currently the best player playing this game ;) And I agree that there will be no rating score around 8000. Or maybe someone will surprise us?
