I don't know why they didn't just leave the avatar system for MM only and classic mode for custom games with an option for skill points to spend. Right now people can abuse that by playing with friends and settings themselves up to get the exact vets they want plus lvl them up giving free kills - and afterwards bring that to MM battles.

I don't like the way the ladder system works anyway. I can be ahead of someone with a 7-0 win streak (with only those 7 games played) who has a 30 win streak, but has 3 losses, that seems silly to me. I wish there was a classic mode MM ladder, but that would divide things up to much. It's just because I dislike how you can't lose XP with the avatar system, which ofc you can't because you lvl up from custom games as well, plus you can bring tweaked vets into MM to play for the ladder. In the end we're all going to be playing as lvl 10 in a couple of weeks and playing as lvl 10 forever *yawn*.

So far it's been running fine for me, but I've haven't played much yet either. The annoying bug for me is not being able to alt-tab or the game crashes...
