Problem with that is your current rank isn't always indicative of skill. There's a degree of correlation but that's it. Some really pro players who've just not done so many maps, or played it a while back and stopped will be in the lower ranks and easily crush anyone else in the same range. Also what if someone crosses ranks? If during a play of all the maps in say, the 1001-5000 chart, you briefly peek at #972, are you going to start hoping your rank falls below #1000 again so you qualify?Orkel wrote:

Basically we need a ranking chart for the rest of the playerbase as well. The current ranking chart system favours the top few godlike players too much while leaving everyone else impossible to win.
Tiers, that's what. Each month, ranking charts for certain ranks.
Ranks 1-200
Ranks 201-500
Ranks 501-1000
Ranks 1001-5000
Ranks 5001+
