lss is also not a sensible judge of skill. clearly i'm speaking from my own perspective, but i can't think of one competitive round played 1v1 lss that wasnt a challenge game.
basically, to have the competition be as standard as possible, we should advocate the least amount of differences. what i mean by that, if whopxer beats me 1v1 ktf, then beats me lss he'd get two points. the next rounds i play then are dm/surv and i'd win against a hypothetical "better" player. there is no way to properly get a fair ranking if there are many modes to choose from. the same argument could be made about maps i suppose, but i think a little diversity helps. if you add two variables that are changing, there are no constants from which to accurately gauge talent by. it's like the scientific process, but a nerdier application.
