    I actually think it's the other way around.

    Rating is actually much more accurate than EXP was. You can earn or lose it, and it is used to RANK you.

    EXP, as much gamers know it, is normally associated with Leveling (which we have also), and typically only goes up, not down (with specific exceptions). We have seen people confused by this and asking the question of: "Why did I lose EXP?"

    By definition and intent, the value that you are ranked by, and matched made with, is not consistent with how EXP typically works.

    there was also the issue that we have already got something named experience for the levelling system!

    We didn't want to confuse people by having experience listed twice for two different purposes.

    Plus its just short for ELO Rating

    - 2v2 rank needs to be only visible when moused over...its an eye sore and sends confusing feedback to players in the lobby...plus the game mode is impossible to balance or taken seriously.

    - Leave it as a fun game mode..that people are finally allowed to simply create a 2v2 game for

    2v2 rank will only show for a user if their 2v2 rank is higher than their 1v1 rank.

    Note there will be no rank decay for 2v2 so you will only get a 2v2 rank if you play 2v2.

    Good stuff,
    Still hoping for a Haven of Ranked games, where new people (like me) do not get disemboweled by demi-gods and veterans xD

    Keep up the good work

    Issue I had with 2v2 ranks was that the 2v2 community is miniscule next to the 1v1 so its exceedingly easy to get like top 50 in 2v2 when your 1v1 skill may only be top 500.
