I agree with easydubs too it would be nice to have a fund/donations by the community to help promote this game as you all know this game like has like no promoton at all. In my opinion the only way to revive and or make this game have atleast 2000-5000 active people at a time is to make the game more competitive and interesting. Cause right now u hop into tb and try to find an interesting lobby there's literally none, then u exit out of tb right away since there nothing to play for and there's no interesting lobbies. Also making this game more competitive will make the older players stay and let beginners/noobs to look at these older players and be like "I want to be this good!". I also I have to admit the tutorials are old af for beginners maybe add new tutorials which actually help. Like a tutorial in each of the competitive and how to play it.
Now back into matchmaking: it would be nice to have pools/tiers as they will distinguish the skills of each player. And each pool/tier will have there own ranking system. And the top 20 people in each tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, etc at the end of the season have a full out tournament. And the top 5 or 10 at the end of the tournament will move on to the next tier or something. And if your already at the final tier (the top tier) and u get top 5 or 10 at the end of the season you will be automatically be registered in a year end tournament in December where the top qualified players in the top tier face off in an ultimate tournament to find the best plyer for the year. And then after the december tournament every player will have a global rank which shows there actual tb rank for that year. So like winner of ultimate year end tournament will be #1, second place #2, ultimate year end tournament people gets ranked after, then top tier people that didn't make year end tournament gets ranked, then tier 2, etc. This way you will perfectly see what your actual tb rank is.
And in addition when you face opponent you and ur opponent can decide what competitive mod you two want to play this can be erthtk, abd, lenshu, etc (clan league competitive mods). In addition the matches will be first to 3. And the rankings in each tier will be based on not on elo but your win/lose record. With a max of 3 matches/duels against different opponents a day.
I find this system the only method to find ur true rank. And make tb fair and exciting for all.

Three month season balances the amount of games played better.
Activity should be an important factor when it comes to rankings, but no the main one.

I still think this will affect good casual players, but we can't fix everything.
In general we need more players to play (advertisements? Possibly a new rank advertisement team?). Some players start playing and generally enjoy it, then they play multiplayer, but because they don't know how to play and get matched against good players, they get discouraged and decide to quit. (I have showed this game to many of my friends and it happened 100% of the time.
I suggest having the newer players play vs new players. BUT once a yellow belt wins >80% (or 70%) he will be matched vs regular players and if he the drops drastically go back to the new players. This will filter out alt accounts. Let's be honest the alt accounts are sort of ruining the new player experience
What we could also do to filter alt accounts is to attach a phone number to one account (kinda like csgo prime) and match prime vs prime (if possible due to low player count). I'm saying this because we don't just need to fix a problem, but we also have to prevent them.
