Due to the fact that there is a hard ranked reset almost EVERY month or so, at the start of the season most people find themselves in greatly unfair matchmaking, whether it be their team or the other team. A way to decrease the randomness of unfair matchmaking early season is to add an elo multiplier based on your previous elo / max elo from the other season, like clash royale does.
#Add an Elo Multiplier after each Ranked reset
topaz patrol
Say ur gold max- 1.2x multiplier
plat- 1.4x multiplier
diamond - 1.6x multiplier
master - 1.8x multiplier
kracked- 2x multiplier
In clash it’s only for the first x games, not the entire season, so a way to prevent crazy elo inflation over the season is to add the multiplier for your first 10-15 games OR keep the multiplier until you hit your previous rank from the last season. This way, even if we do have a hard reset, better players are more likely to get to the rank they SHOULD be in faster, which betters the quality of ranked matches greatly on both the lower ranks AND the higher ranks.
The numbers dont have to be the same as I suggested, but just as a template for what they could be.
