3 Give yourself a handicap when you play against someone obviously below your skill. You could even come up with some kind of standardized handicap, like "build one storage at the start of the game for every 50 points in ratings difference" or some such. 2 Give yourself a handicap when you play against someone obviously below your skill.

5 Ideally, you would be able to somehow indicate to the ZK infrastructure that a match should be unrated, so that WHR would not take your handicapped play into consideration (which would otherwise incorrectly lower your rating and raise that of your opponent and [i]all other players[/i]). Maybe there could be a setting like "Put me in a rated game if the win prediction is 40%-60%, otherwise put me in an unrated game with up to a 10%-90% prediction". It would be like simultaneously joining a ranked queue and an unranked queue and taking the first match you can get that meets your preferences. 4 Ideally, you would be able to somehow indicate to the ZK infrastructure that a match should be unrated, so that WHR would not take your handicapped play into consideration (which would otherwise incorrectly lower your rating and raise that of your opponent and [i]all other players[/i]).
