I'm not saying that the system is or isn't broken, I'm just saying that changing ranks by doing nothing is entirely possible in many ELO-ish ranking systems.

Oh wow, this is somewhat similar in concept to the 'kid who is cursed to become a classic superhero' idea I had earlier: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/jimmy-the-unwilling-superhero.86681/ I still think a hero referencing the superhero comics from the game's time period is a good idea.

Others earned more ELO than you while you were not doing anything. Rank depends on everyone, not just you.

Not just your friends, but EVERYONE. Thousands of players playing the game across the globe.

For drilling holes you could also make two sets of world portals, and a small 'tunnel' under the map (and then where in said tunnel the connecting portals are placed depends on the thickness of the wall). Then simply make sure the surrounding visual effects and temporary props are such that...
