Invalid Potential minor change to ladder ratings

s1ll0r

s1ll0r

As of right now, and as I have confirmed with users and mods from the Help room on PS!, ladder ratings and ladder position only take Elo into account, thereby disregarding GXE or Glicko-1 (this is the case for all ladders); this makes it so that, if two players have the same Elo on ladder, one can be somewhat incorrectly/wrongfully ranked above the other in the case of the other, lower positioned player (with the same Elo) on ladder actually having a higher GXE and(/or) Glicko-1 than the former, higher ranked one.
I would therefore suggest for GXE to be the determining factor to rank players with the exact same Elo rating among each other to avoid slightly wrong/worse rankings.
I have attached an image to illustrate what I'm describing/critiquing.

By the way: I by no means think this is a big deal; more than anything else, it is simply illogical.

they don't actually have the same elo, the elo that's displayed is just truncated. so if it looks like two people have 1700 elo, one may have 1700.7 and the other 1700.3. using gxe would actually result in people with lower elo being shown as higher rated than people with higher elo
edit: elo is actually rounded but it's supposed to be truncated. same principle.

hey, just curious abt where you have this info from? cuz ppl in help (as mentioned above) didn't mention anything of the sort, so just wanted to know
 
Exact ratings at the time of posting are:
mrfulletfunoill: 1929.1301834278054
sillor: 1928.9134989533463

Rounding was in play in the display, regardless they are in the correct order. Therefore, this is not really a bug nor is there any sort of tie break related issue.
