Ranking system

Er...... exactly. . Which is why you would have a formalised hall of fame?

but those people shouldn't get in the way of up and coming players, maybe if you get a season system going like I know some games have, you could implement a seasonal hall of fame, after resetting the season, the top idk how many players are forever immortalized for their rank during that season, otherwise someone who is clearly better than them could never get a higher rank, because whoever is in first doesn't play.

They don't get in the way of up and coming players, because they are in the hall of fame.

The point is to prevent people who are clearly worse than them by superseding them because they had the misfortune to die in a car crash. They are in the hall of fame because they reached number 1, were undefeated, and disappeared from the scene.

To add to this, a Ranked an unRanked game mode would be very nice ;P
