I see where you’re coming from but I have to hard disagree.
I play other games where ranking starts exactly as your scenario.
I run into way more people that are amazing that purposely stay bad to beat up on lower skilled player.
I run into that far less in aoe.
I think how they do ranked matchmaking in aoe is far superior.
Bad players tank, good players progress, the douchey players that want to beat up on lower skill have to take a long time to tank their score.
how to say “I dont understand how elo works” without saying it
if the average elo of new players isn’t 1000 then everyones elo will tend towards the new average over time, this is bad for a number of reasons
That would have the effect of dividing everyone’s elo by 2.
Elo is won and lost off opponents so the starting number doesn’t matter.
It’s just a representation.
