The ranking isn't pointless, the grouping is. It's like a teacher writing the following on the board for an unscaled test: 90-100 = A 80-89 = B . . Pretty pointless, though not as pointless as the kids yelling that their 75 was really an A but they were slumping during the test. | ||

It's not pointless otherwise they wouldn't do it on such a huge scale in school systems genius. It simplifies things, gives a better view on the whole, makes things easier for us to remember and understand. Things we have a better understanding of are way more likely to enter our long term memory. Just a number like 90-100 is pretty abstract, especially for kids. | ||

Just another opinion of course, notice the 'I think'. I find rankings like this interesting as well, although I think each race should have its own criteria compared to itself. Meaning the value of the elo is adjusted for each race. I really thought Groups A and B for zerg were intersting, I had no clue savior's elo is higher then julyzergs, also looking at the lists like this makes sense to me. I enjoyed this, thanks op! | ||

The basic idea is ok but 50 points is a pretty small difference (equivalent to a 57%-43% advantage for the stronger player). Realistically you can probably only group pros into 3-4 categories at most, rather than the 9 given here - the reason why chess has so many categories is because the rating system includes all competitive players, from the best pros to primary schoolers. The TLPD ratings only include full-time pros. | ||
