"[Study Report] Go Battle League - Rating vastly depends on progress in BADGES"

#PokemonGO: Hello pretty people!Thanks to hard work of all the people involved - PvP Poland Team, u/Empoleon_Dynamite - mr. PvPoke, u/Spawciu251, u/Claun_Fiesta, u/plenzni, u/F1ash0ut - mighty ValorAsh,and over 900 Trainers from all over the world who shared their in-game stats with us.Here are the results of a few days long studies regarding Go Battle League's (GBL) Rating.The game creates Initial Rating for every player in the moment they start playing in GBL basing on the values of 5 Badges (Badges with the highest values are displayed in each Player's GBL Lobby):Ace Trainer, Hero, Great League, Ultra League, Master League.That Initial Rating that is hidden until a Player reaches Rank 7 is being influenced by wins and losses on their way there, however that influence is pretty minor (most probably the same as you can experience in further Ranks ~around 5-8 points per match).As you can already guess - the moment you enter your first match is crucial to your Rating in Rank7 and higher.Our studies has shown that Players with e.g. 1 Golden Badge with over 1000 points in it, is basically guaranteed to get around 3000 Rating points no matter how bad their Win-Ratio might get. The higher the numbers in Badges the higher that guaranteed number is.On the other hand Players with only Bronze Badges even if they get around 90% Win-Ratio they still end up with 1500-2000 Rating depending on the exact numbers in their Badges.As per ending, Players having a lot of points in all the Badges (all over the Golden Badge threshold) are getting close to Rank10 Rating (3500) with about 60% Win-Ratio which with all honesty is not hard to accomplish.Current system is not fair and does not promote skill of Players at all. Everything you have to do is to grind your Badges before you start competing in GBL.As probably all of you agree this should be changed - please help with promotion of this post so it can reach Niantic - yes Niantic - we see what you have done there - we appreciate that you gave us our long awaited feature but very please improve this Rating madness.Once again big shoutout for everyone involved!!! u/F1ash0ut - mighty ValorAsh, u/Spawciu251, u/Claun_Fiesta, u/plenzni u/Empoleon_Dynamite, PvP Poland Team <3Wish you all reaching Rank10.Best,Adamaster89 via /r/pokemongo https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/ezk4g7/study_report_go_battle_league_rating_vastly/?utm_source=ifttt
