The one nice (depending on your perspective) thing about the old method was more teams got to be in 1st place (or other high ranking spots) for a short while due to the extra noise. Now since everything is normalized, there will be a lot less movement in the rankings. A good thing from a usability standpoint, but not as many teams will get a short-lived boost from seeing their names at the top of the scrolling chart.
