How is it any different though? I just get the impression that it's a different rating, except you can't drop under the 1500 equivalent when you pass it, and you can't drop under any of the other tiers either.

I think it will create multiple brackets of ELO hell. It will cause people who really shouldn't be in 1500+ elo bracket to throw games, in addition to the games thrown in the dark depths of the real ELO hell.

I can't really confirm whether game throwing happens in the upper division brackets. can we get the G.M.D. to confirm this?
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

i dont really like the whole "lose a lot but still be in the bottom of your division" so the bottom the the divisions is going to be full of the trolls and such

No you still have a hidden elo. You are not going to be in the same division as people you play with, you still have an elo it is just hidden. You can also fall out of divisions, its ranks you cant lose.

ya i think this was more it, the elo system from what I understand gives you a 56% chance to win unless of course you feed.

but idk some guy did the math on it i cant remember

How is that even possible?

Also I'm glad that they make some changes as I've always thought it was weird to use a rating system that is designed to rank players in a 1v1 situation for a team game.
