Good day everyone,

I’ll keep this short… recently i’ve been doing a lot of TPvP solo que. I am doing quite well i’ve managed to get into top 400 EU quite a few times, and every time i get closer and closer to breaking top 300, 200… i meet a lot of leavers.

I was upset for losing games because of leavers as you can imagine… but today someone told me something that i find very aggravating if true.

The reason that people close to top 100 on the leaderboards leave is because it does not register as a loss… so not only do they keep their 10 – 0 rank 1 on the leaderboards, but they ensure that the people they have played with lose… and those people get pushed further down the leaderboard.
This would also explain how some people have 100% win ratio… and very few games, yet they populate top 100 on the leaderboards.

Is this true ?… I have yet to try this… but if this is true, then it’s beyond game breaking and an insult to competitive play and competitive players.

If this is true i “demand” and i’m sure a lot of people would agree with me, we demand that the formula for calculating leaderboards ranking takes into consideration number of games played as well (if it’s not already)… so that people that leave on purpose or people that got very lucky with 10 games don’t stay in top 10 forever… while people that play competitively have no chance of ever reaching that place.
Also perhaps it should be counted as a loss if you leave regardless ?… I’m not sure what the punishment for leaving is at the moment, except dishonor… but IF there is no penalty leaderboard wise…

Waiting for some feedback on this so i know if there’s any point in continuing TPvPing.

I think, leave out of the match,dc count as a loss nowadays. I am not so sure if it works that way before. If it is true, it will be a cold slap on the face to all those who try their best to climb up leaderboard. If this ever happen, I demand a Leaderboard totally reset. Shocking…

There are only 2 ways you can have a very high win percentage (80%+) doing solo queue and thats either synch queuing or there is some kind of bug to exploit or leaving matches is bugged and doesn’t cound as a loss. I don’t care how good people think they are there is not an unlimited pool of players 24/7 and you will be matched with inferior teamates often enough that would should lose a fair ammount otherwise.

I believe leaving doesn’t register as a loss until you complete another solo queue game. So it can be quite delayed in displaying but does still count as a loss.
