3/5 is the same as 6/10, but I feel people wouldn't complain as much becuase they would actually see 3/5 as decent.

Exactly. People focus on the number rather than the reasoning behind it. If you take that number out then people HAVE to go to the reasoning behind not getting the vote. this opens the door to feedback, plus it gives people a reason to leave feedback rather than feeling like it would be a waste of time because chances are the guys going to see the num,ber and the number only because he feels some sort of way before hearing you out and now he aint tryna hear you out, any feedback he sees is clouded by emotion.
Your right, 3/5 does look better. But it's a band aid approach rather than grabbing the problem by the scruff of the kneck and fixing it. Though the 1-5 scale is better than 1-10. it's still a dated flawed system which takes the attention away from the hows and whys which are most important. The number scale is the problem. not the size of it.

The site is (according to pugz) getting an update next month. I just figured now is as good a time as ever to see what changes we can make to better the experiance.
I feel since the simple vote for winner system (in my opinion) is the way to go and a way to better help people give as well as take on board actual feedback because theirs not this nagging number getting in the way.
Another change to compliment it would be an overhaul of the comment system (Again just ideas)
This is another thing which is dated and in no way feedback friendly, it's clunky, it's ugly, it's hard to read, it's hard to write for when trying to get your point across.
You add (finally) a character minimum. And you add forum post features to the battle comment section so you can bold, quote and highlight key parts and points as well as.....please god.. have the ability to use your space and enter keys so we're not stuck having to read a brick wall of text or put endless .......................'s just to space shit out and make it readable.
To work it would all have to come in 1 package update.
