    Why are professional players given a special multiplier in their hero score in DB Plus rankings. If they are good enough to be a "professional" player then they are clearly good enough to get to the top of the Hero Score rankings fair and square. It makes no sense for players to have a <50% win rate over 30ish games to be in top top 10 for hero's.

        I guess you could keep the professional tag, but reduce the multiplyer to match that of diamond. More balanced score system while letting people know who's pro or not.

          Mixing pub games with pro games makes no sense. Pro players also play the same pubs as every other player of the same mmr regardless of whether they are a professional themselves.

          Putting rankings into the esports section and a separate one into the public section would be a sensible solution.

            actually these people from professional ranking division are playing in same pub games as 5-7k players, And I would agree that they shouldnt have additional advatage in hero rankings. division measures the average difficulty of games, and players from d10 and professional ds face absolutely same difficulties.
