Guild Wars 2

Hi All,

I know that there is a little bit of grind fest to the current leaderboards – but there is also some skill involved to progress upwards. Putting the grind element to one side:

What is the best way to interpret the leaderboard given the following data:
Rank/Points/Name/Win/Loss/Ratio
21 141 PlayerA 128 165 43.69%
575 46 PlayerB 52 44 54.17%
602 45 PlayerC 53 104 33.76%
833 37 PlayerD 39 48 44.83%
90% 26 playerE 29 35 45.31%

Now I know win/loss ratio is not much of a reliable statistic – as it’s highly probable to have a lot of loosing matches but still gain 0 points on the leaderboard or just be unlucky in a 0-20% win chance and gain -1 point.

Is the deviation from number of wins to points a good indicator of how well we are playing above our team MMR?

From the above it looks like that PlayerD is stronger than PlayerB and PlayerC – given less deviation from points gained/wins. If PlayerD could play as many matches as PlayerB/C they would be substantial in the lead.

All players D,B,C,E – have lost about 3 to 7 points from losses and are in negative compared to number of wins.
Player A is 11 points ahead of the +1 minimum of each match.

Does that mean PlayerA is stronger than the other players at carrying matches and raising a teams chances of winning if they are on it?

I’m looking at the data as presented to try and interpret what’s going on – rather than final points.

Any suggestions?
-or am I just interpreting the data completely wrongly?

Thanks,

AS sad as it sounds, learning to read and write Japanese would be easier. Seeing as we cant even know what our personal MMR is. That’s what was good about WoW. You knew your MMR and knew your opponents MMR

But how would MMR of individuals make a difference or team based MMR reports on the matches you played?

We have no clue where the people are regarding MMR, nor do we know how there matches have been.

Did they gain points due to playing 400-500? (Which end up counting as a loose, but can still give you points, if you they are higher rated.)
Did they gain points due to winning against higher rated team?
F.e. I have more points than victories, what does that tell you?

With the data we have, we simply don’t know.

The only thing we know for sure: The guys on the top have to most games played, that’s why they are up there.
Once the regular tournament winners are back on the top, you know that the ladder is working again, but until then, just ignore the ladder.

I think if you factor in mmr and assume that match making is more or less fair. Then the person who has more pts than their number of wins is the better player. Of course the number of games played should even out the lumpiness of match making error.
