That makes sense , was there still a quality vs quantity approach in selecting those for graduation ? <| sep |> The ranking system is based on more than just a single number . Judging a rank just from the visible number can therefore be misleading . For example , the infamous 0 makes it seem like your rating hasn ' t changed at all when in fact other components in the system very likely have . Putting people into divisions makes things a little more vague , and so I think it makes it harder for people to get frustrated with the system . I would assume these changes are also going to come with things like some sort of hysteresis to also make divisions seem a little less fickle . All of that of course assumes your exact rating is now hidden . Most importantly though I think this is just a rebranding thing . They superficially change stuff and people will give the ranking system a second chance . If they only tweaked stuff under the hood I wouldn ' t be surprised if people continued complaining about already fixed issues .
