@rakleader:
I agree - system choosing opponents could be designed in different way.
First pick advantage is a bit strange. I don't know the real statistics but taking the first pick does not help for me. The pick or the knowledge where your opponent actually is, is a comparable advantage I suppose. Fair enough.

Thanks, about the winning streak, you know ;) In fact we pull everybody up, because if someone lost the game against us he is going up; if someone won - again up. But I see our ranking only going down from hour to hour :/

The real problem is that won against low-rank team simply gives you nothing but loss is devastating. So you have to play only against top-rank teams and to avoid other games. So basically top teams play 2 games at the time and add one only if another good team is available. Everything is going slow as hell. I see no exit from this loop in the regime of those rules.

I don't think the issue is the match making, I think it's the template. Better template = better players play = more better teams = better teams for you to play.

Template is fantastic.
