Maybe simple is better

I’ve been ranting and writing about making the SR system more complex.

Lets make it simple. Borrowing from clash royale which is vastly different, but still has their ladder which is vastly better IMHO.

Win / Loss : only adds a set amount of points - no wild swings and streaks and such. If you are matched with people slightly higher you get a small bonus, but again nothing wild.

Hard resets: At the end of their season everyone gets a hard ladder reset (hard but calculated so people dont start from scratch). This solves bracket creep. If you dont play awhile eventually you will be reset to Bronze and have to work your way back up. Might introduce more “smurfs”.

Still MMR? You just get match with people in you SR, and with a constant add / loss it removes that extra dimension that seems to be stiff the older the account is. MMR on top of SR is like velocity and acceleration. And in this case if your car is old, you acceleration is done (thats what it feels).
