You will be ranked upon several factors. There is no such thing as a truly ideal debater, everyone makes sacrifices in their playstyle.

I'll start off with some who I think won't have an issue with me rating them, if you want to be rated let me know.

Ratings in each category are out of 10

I'd be fine being rated. I do need to get back into debating and having some things to work on would be good.

Originality refers to how atypical one's arguments in debates are, topics are a small part that's considered.

I would like to note that being high in many categories doesnt mean superiority necessarily. A huge part of being a superior debater is how one utilises their playstyle, not their playstyle itself.

You won primarily due to my weakness in understanding how voters perceive rebuttal strength/weakness.
