Blocking is massively abusable in competitive games, just block everyone better than you, instant rank up against people you can beat every time. This can be, will be, and has been abused.

Dunno, seems like suggesting that PageRank is impossible because you could just spam a link thousands of times on your site to pump its ranking.

That seems like the weakness in someone's naive weekend-ware implementation, but is there a reason it cannot be improved?

Google has abandoned page rank for pretty much that exact reason
