3 I would be curious to experiment with having rating decay to address this angle and inject a bit more volatility in the ladder. It's a much simpler change to implement than full seasons, and a less drastic approach than resetting the ladder every few months (the more active the user, the less rating inaccuracy will be introduced by decay). If successful, this may encourage further work on proper seasons, and can be rolled back otherwise. 3 I would be curious to experiment with having rating decay to address this angle and inject a bit more volatility in the ladder.
