Oh yes!


All for it, the old timers know each other well enough to enjoy competing against each other and I can't ever complain about a more competitive environment, even if it will expose how bad I am.

Imho the tlih is also the place where one can try their kaipi kunka, mirana, sd style drafts, even though they'll a bit likly fail. I think that it's not rated encourages more interesting drafts, which is for me the main point of playing tlih.

For example in the game today, we played offensive trilane, and i (carry) gave up firstblood, and my 2 fellow supports died shortly afterwards. If this game was rated there might come flame or so, now it was just a response from me "das comunication" and some agreement to that. Top lane lost too, but people was chill, and we won in the end. In a rated game this would have ended up in a flamewar 100%.

In this regard I belive that a rating would be working counterproductive in terms of gamequality.

The idea is that we moderate it well to prevent such attitudes, unlike IXDL which almost encourages it.

Another solution that we briefly discussed is to have people honestly rate themselves on a scale of 1000-2000 and admins/mods can set their rating to this number. You won't gain/lose rating so there's nothing to be scared of, but it helps when the client balances teams.

Main disadvantage is do people rate themselves the same way others do? But eh, if you rate yourself too high, you'll be placed in teams with newer people, so it may be worth rating yourself humbly. Hmm......
