I guess we can come full circle back to the original point of the thread here.
If there’s people that do this, and it’s fairly easy to make a new account, or let’s it’s not even malicious it’s just that people who think they’re beginners are actually stronger than who we would pair them against, is that a good experience for established beginners? For them to get stomped by people unintentionally or intentionally choosing to be paired with beginners.
Is it a better experience for the established beginner to have the new player play one or two games, confirm that yes they are actually a beginner, now play them and you should have an interesting game?
Who should the system prioritise? Is there a compromise that works for both new beginners and established beginners?
