stop recommending this, it wouldnt work, and seems like more of a hassle than anything.
you're making my head hurt... like you're talking about soccer or something.

I'd love to see a system like MvC3. If your disconnect percentage gets to a certain point, you can only play against other people with an equally high disconnect percentage. You're not allowed back in the normal populace until your disconnect percentage drops.

^ This, i hope it makes it in the game or something similar i hate Rage quitters.

So you limit the number of times you can be rated per day.

The problem is that there's no way around abusing the system. No matter what system you put in place, people will find a way to abuse it. The best course of action is to find a system that is the least abusable.

In fact, I wouldn't mind a system like what I proposed, that allows me to only look at the rankings my friends have handed out. That way I only see players who my friends have rated and who's rating I trust. So it doesn't matter if JoeScrub created 100 accounts to rate up his buddy. That rating means nothing to me because my friends rated him properly.

That kind of defeats the purpose of a leaderboard.
And I might sound like a dork for saying this, but when I play online fighters I usually dedicate a stupid amount of hours to it daily. I wouldn't want a limit to how much I could rank up in a day.

I still honestly believe a system where it randomly picks a good connection fight for you(like Tekken's system) but with the inability to choose which server you are in(Tekken system's only flaw) would be the best course of action.
