Disassociate rank from number of games completed

Why does rank have to be associated with number of completed games...it seems to me that points alone should be the criteria

It keeps the luck factor out and the skill factor in. :)

You're only one rank behind. By the time I hit sergeant, I was nearly a captain. And I'm a lieutenant, but I have been within 4 points of major. Just keep playing, you'll get there if you're really that good. The points start getting a lot harder to get around 1300 points.

Only one rank behind? I would have been a major a few times already over my last 8 or 10 games if it wasn't for the fact that you need a certain amount of finished games. and as a hint: I'm not yet a captain.

Yeah yeah yeah, I've seen you on the list above me, staring at me and mocking me every time I lose a match, telling me that I'm not the greatest thing since sliced ham. My ego won't hear it though.

I was more saying that as someone with only 1200 points, he shouldn't be complaining yet. He's got a long, hard road ahead of him.

I wasn't the one who started my fanclub. I can't remember who it was, but it's out there.
