A lot of games that want to incentivise players through the ranking have a normal/actual ranking, that's used to match players, but isn't shown to the players. And a ranking that they show the players and could be reset, can tweak the points you show them, etc. just so people keep playing more.

Personally I would say playing the game is about having fun and improving and the ranking is just a measure. But in practice it shows it works and a lot of people just play a game to improve their rank (or at least what the game then shows them their rank is).

If the matchmaking idea is implemented, I would suggest that it be optional for at least the first season so that the impact on game wait times can be evaluated.

Could have really long wait times if you pair only Masters and GMs and some maps lobbies litterally wouldn't fill
