If win/loss was reset but rating wasn't...
The top and bottom of a leaderboard is usually far away from 50% w/l ratio because there’s very often more players of lower skill level available for them than of higher skill level.
Shouldn’t we be seeing win/loss ratios much closer to 50% if match making is working properly? In a good rating match/making system teams should eventually end up at 50/50 win/loss ratio once they hit their appropriate level of competition.
So basically if wins/losses were reset and ratings had already been established we should be seeing more teams closer to 50% win/loss rather than the 65-75% we are seeing.
With people not in top 1000 still posting about facing teams in top 25, it makes me think match making is not working very well.
and to add, a lot of the win/loss % are likely even a bit lower due to people who solo queue in addition to team play. So in reality the average is probably closer to 75-80% if you took out solo queue matches.
Matchmaking is in fact not working that well. What you have is premades rolling up there records against pugs much more often then not. Also, there are people gaming the system and leaving games its may not be a ton but there are some.

It should not be like this if the ranking system works correctly. Obviously some people are very good and some are very poor but in general the way the leaderboard looks right now indicates a fairly broken system imo. It should be more condensed toward the middle. There are too many people with absurd winning percentages. Even if you are very good if you are matched up against other good teams it will be a struggle to win more then 60-70% of the time and thats is you are literally among the very very best. Some pretty good teams would be lucky to win 50% if they were facing other quality premades most of the time.

if there’s no reset from start to finish yes. But there was a reset of win/loss after ratings were established in addition to solo queue matches and it’s still ~65+% average for top 1000. Add that to reports of people not in top 1000 playing teams in top 25, etc.

TLDR – match making is broken or there just aren’t very many people playing so it is still matching good teams vs bad teams.
Nothing new…matchmaking is broken from the infaustus day it was introduced…now it’s just getting more clear cause looking at lboard ppl can actually see how bad it works..
Leaderboards dont mean nothing the way they are now. OP professions will be more on Top than others and premades will be on Top also. Nothing about the real skill of the players is show there.
