There was no breaking update. WHR (new rating system) took down the server and then some admins had to scramble to fix the database and restart the server. I may be wrong, I don't know exactly what happened as it was at 6am for me.

2nd time WHR takes down the server(or maybe even more)
Probably it is time to do something about it?

If it's too resource hungry it needs redesign,
If it does not scale well with the number of players/spikes in activity it should be resigned/replaced with simpler implementation
Or probably server just needs more resources...

Afaik we still have both lobby server and DB on the same host. Not good...

The options are being actively considered.

They are not being particularly actively considered. As far as I know it would be a major change to remove WHR at this point, requiring a lot of work and potential for instability.

There was an admin feature to instantly undo any rating losses due to smurfs. This feature was badly implemented (my fault) and thus excessively taxing on the database. Someone using it in an unintended way at a time of high server load is what ended up overloading the database.

This feature has now been removed. Admins can still undo rating losses, but they will only be applied on the next server restart.

Yes, the feature actually just replaces the smurf with the main in the background. This means your losses to smurf count as losses to drone. For a player as good as you this might still be a loss overall though. Keep in mind that this is damage control at best, the correct solution is still to report and ban smurfs.
