Arceus Tier / Ranked issues

1. Resetting everyone back to the beginning of the ladder EVERY MONTH is ridiculous. Have some sort of decay or soft reset. For example: if you reach 1700 elo you get sent back to 1500 elo or if you reach 1500 you get sent back to 300 so you dont have to grind all the way back to Arceus.
   1. To the Devs: competitive players really just want to play in arceus tier. Everything before that is a tiresome grind.
2. There needs to be a public leaderboard that shows all Arceus Tier players and their elo rating.
   1. Its absolutely asinine that this even needs to be asked for all of these years later. This should have been one of the basic things in the game.
   2. I was invited to a TPCI preview years ago for PTCG Live and the first thing I asked for was a leaderboard. We still don't have it.
3. At the end of the month it doesn't show you what your peak elo was, just that you made it to arceus tier.

Couldn't agree more. This current system is a lose/lose for everyone involved: competitive players need to get through dozens of games just to get back to baseline every month. Meanwhile, the less experienced players are hit with a deluge of players at a different skill level every few weeks. That's no fun for anyone.

And for those competitive players who can't play as often, by the time you've finally reached Arceus tier, you only have a few days before the ladder resets and you have to climb all over again.

The result over time is hundreds of games that are not challenging or rewarding.
