Yeah, because the rating formula makes rapid changes for new players, if you start at 1600, it only takes a few games to get to 2000 if you don't blow a few early games.

I realized that the expert option when making a new account has disappeared and the next highest is advanced. I just thought that there might be people that are actually 2000 elo and above and it will make it really annoying to grind to that level considering 1600 is 400 points away. This might also make match making unfair and some people simply don't bother to grind just to play someone your level. So I think we should add the expert option back.
Potential Titled player option ( 2500 elo )
Just thinking maybe for verified titled players they can start at 2500 so they can faced players of their level faster
