Ok, but if it's everyone's opinion, they shouldn't aim to rank teams. Don't try to make this into a ranking setup when it shouldn't be.I think this should aim to be subjective. Ultimately nobody is going to accept "The Splat 25" as anything more than a few people's opinions. Trying to be objective won't work because there isn't anywhere near enough data. The rankings are going to be wrong either way. If it's someone's active opinion/belief then it can start a discussion. If it's some sort of calculated system with insufficient data then there's nothing to say about it aside from the fact that it's wrong because of that exact reason.
That's why I'm not saying that this is a terrible idea. It's basically just one group's opinion and if everyone acknowledges that it could be something to talk about.
This would probably accomplish the same thing but it would be nice to have something on Squidboards with feedback from the community rather than a few people talking about things they are under-informed about.
You're also wrong. there are plenty of ways to objectively rank people. Yes, it will require they play in a few matches, whether those be in tournaments or in official matches with other players they set up, but after that you can safely say the information is objective. It favors no one and ranks people by their team's skill using good ol' math. And the system presented here is not capable of doing that. There are plenty of systems in existence that are objective and do do just that, and for this to be a ranking system of note, it needs to work like that.
Again, they can talk about good teams, bad teams, etc. and give their opinions on how things stack up, that's all great and will be wonderful for the community, but they cannot claim to effectively rank them unless they make use of an objective ranking system.
