I'm not taking this position in regards to their current importance to the system.
I'm taking this position from the standpoint of realizing how much work must have been put into this system by people who didn't know one of its core tools would need to be removed later.
The four ratings are needed to count for playing that day. The four days are needed to be added to the list of players being analyzed and placed. And both of those systems don't work without ratings. I'm saying that to remove ratings you also need to remove and rework or replace these systems. No easy task with its current setup.
It would need a work around for the rating problem and another for the daily rating and another for daily rating for four days.
That's not going to be easy.
I'm all for removing ratings , but it won't be a simple task.
Why would ratings need to be removed in the first place? Its based on Win/Loss. As you know ratings are effected by Kills, Deaths, Assists, which you would still get all of them in Objective gametypes.
Your Arena placement is not effected by your rating, currently they have no use what so ever, just shows how you've been doing K/D/A wise and to look pretty.
You honestly don't even need to get rated daily to get put into more competitive matches, because all getting rated/put into a division does is show your trueskill. Its still there regardless if you get rated or not, as long as you keep winning it will keep improving.
My question is, why would ratings need to get removed for objective gametypes to be put in or for MLG to get Arenas system?
They have no use what so ever right now. So unless some technical mechanic just gives the middle finger to objective gametypes and rejects them from being added, theres no reason why they can't be.
