Negative rating doesn't make sense. That would mean you HAVE to play week 1 of the season else you are gonna start in a hole that the players who played week one didn't have to. The decay should in fact be static across all ranks (I don't think anyone ever suggested percentage based) but it shouldn't take you down to negative points lol. If you wanna stop people from just waiting till the end to just "gun it" then instill a minimum requirement of games played in the season to be eligible for top 100 then or something along those lines.
