After the patch, the game is now so unfair in different ways for different reasons that it precludes any meaningful ranking system and any real competition.
Some people have multiple level 5 units with inspire. Some people have units with both inspire and bonzai on a level 6 unit. Other people have 46 vet slots. people who used clone armies and saved them can still load their clones. on the other end of the spectrum some people had their entire avatars erased. the result of the patch is that nobody is on an equal playing field any more, and some players have unfair advantages, because the patch changed the rules of the game to the benefit of some at the expense of others.
in the short term they need to roll back the alt-f4 changes, give everyone 46 vet slots, and reset all veteran points for all players. besides it makes sense to reset veteran skill points after a patch that changes game play.
otherwise the game is inherently unfair, because people who owned the game before the big patch have units with capabilities that nobody else can ever get. and people who were dumb enough to delete their heroes get 3 extra vet slots.
fairness is an implied prerequisite of any game. if the rules are not the same, the game is not fair. if it is not fair how is it even a game? why is it worth playing? until this is fixed the game developer has made a game that gives some players a huge edge over others. think about that for a second.
