You are right, I want to change this.
I'll start with keeping all scores and will implement a way to show them after the rating.
I think I'm gonna sent the player score with the request and then only show people in the range of the players score (5 above, 5 below).
But yeah, that's gonna have to wait until the rating period is over, because it requires a client change. :/
Yes, you are right, that's a good point.
