I really have trouble imagining any ranking system that isn't WLT which won't cause qualification gameplay to differ from playoff gameplay. Take this year as an example, the ranking system discouraged many teams from playing defense in the quals matches where they would have if we had a WLT ranking system or if they were playing in the playoffs.
