I going to bump this thread because I feel it's still problematic and maybe been forgotten?
How is that problematic for the lower mmr/rank players? Doesn't new system benefit that majority?
No it doesn't benefit people that enjoy ladder and want mmr to mean something. Which is whole point of ranked play in first place.
It benefits people only in terms of rewards.

I don't know about that. There are ways to figure out if a person has been very successful.rctboy95;n9171210 said:
If a person is level 14 and rank 13, you know that they know what they're doing and have been very successful so far. If a person is level 38 and rank 14, it's less clear: (1) they might know what they're doing and just playing a lot of casual, (2) they might not know what they're doing (no offense meant to the hypothetical person), (3) they might just be willing to experiment more than most in ranked. You cannot definitively say why they have the disparity ... but I do know that when I seem someone whose rank is close to their level ... I know I'm in for a fight.
Now this system becomes less common as you reach higher levels. But when your up 4000 mmr+ ... most people have a good idea of what they're doing it appears (I wouldn't know first hand as I'm not there).
Also, you can always let your play show your skill. Nothing better than beating somebody whose rank is higher than yours.

Thats how it's supposed to work but all i see are the same decks being played, close to perfect since the meta decks arent "difficult" so the rng takes over, like going first or who draws better round 2 and 3.
I'm confident they can fix it and balance gwent more, it's still a beta game.
I myself am level 41 and rank 13/14, just play casual a lot since ranked isn't as fun yet i face many high ranking players in casual so it doesn't really make sense lol.
So, what about a new tournament rating? To play this format you would have to prepare 5 tournament decks. One for every fraction. Before the game you would ban one of opponent decks (fe. Monsters 
), your opponent would ban one of yours and then play a game using a random deck of 4 avaliable. Why random not chosen? Mostly to awoid having only two strong decks, but also to force you this way to play all fractions and evolve your skills in Gwent. At the end of a season players who would be high in this rating could advance to some major tournament with rewards and glory for being a tournament champ. Lets sey Top1024 players would play 1-1024, 2-1023, 3-1022, and so on. IMO this could be fun and entertaining, also if you are bored of some ladder meta decks you could ban them to not face them in this format.

Tournament would only really work during a, well, a tournament. Having random opponents banning one of your decks isn't really a handicap. Though, it's still more interesting than ranked play. To push it even further, I've made another similar suggestion: https://forums.cdprojektred.com/foru...in-deck-ladder

I am a fan of a bit more varied quest system - like play x times with given leader in ranked for given reward. That would make the game much more varied. Also, would be great to introduce some fully prepared competitive decks (say 20 of them). Make one of those randomly available to each player (different deck for each player each day, so we have all 20 in play everyday), ask them to play with it x time in ranked for a reward. Would lead to a much more varied game at lower ranked play, which would be more enjoyable. And at top ranked, in the top 1000, well, things will be more competitive - perhaps those quests should be then different. Still playing x games with given faction (if not given leader) seems like an interesting choice even at very high ranks...
As for tournaments, some open for all tournaments should be included in the game client, would help the game a great deal...

Yup. And this time, it's ususally taking less than 10 sec to get that.
Stop losing mmrp for draws
Smh. It doesn’t make sense that I drop in rank points when I didn’t even lose.
At least don’t change the points at all for draws. But a drop just makes me feel like I’m wasting my time. (I didn’t lose!!!)

I can see how this may be frustrating but at the same time it kind of makes sense that you lose points, when drawing against an opponent with lower MMR.
That being said, I wouldn't mind at all if draws didn't have any negative consequences. From a psychological point of view it might be more healthy.
What about an evenly matched mmrp opp with a much higher level? Smh. No one should not be dropping over that.
In casual a draw means both are closer to getting a keg. It’s a dual victory. But in ranked dual crown points still mean a loss? No d way that makes sense.

When the game is a draw, the person with the lowest MMR will gain a little bit and the one with the highest MMR will lose a bit. That's how MMR works. Imagine racing Usain Bolt and attaining the same time, that would count as a lose for Usain.
