absolutely fucking grim. The vast majority of green ranks in my rank spread would be fujin in the official system.

Also in the official rank system GoD is also top ~0.3% playerbase, yet you only need ~2300 ~glicko-2 to achieve it. As soon as you filter for inactive players, the glicko-2 requirement literally jumps up by 200 points.

making a new ranked system isn't as easy as I thought desu
