Leaderboard Ranking
Your losses are to worse players then their losses. If I play against Follidus and lose and you lose to a guy Ranked 1% your rating is going to tank far more then mine.
Rank has, as far as we are aware, nothing to do with your internal rating.

- Leaderboard Rank & Glory Rank are two separate systems
- Win/Lose Ratio, # Games played, and Glory rank are not used to calculate your leaderboard rating.
- Leaderboard Rank has a hidden rating value. You gain more rating if you beat something higher than you. You Lose more rating if you lose to someone lower.

It’s because they dont show the ratings that we get so many threads like this one.
Thank you for the replies. I thought it might be something like that…but still a bit confusing.
It is a bit annoying that my “higher Rank” is now hurting me. I now understand why some people started a new account just for their leaderboard ranking…lol. I won’t be going that route.
I don’t really care about my ranking (either one), but was just trying to understand how it was calculated.
Again, thank you for the responses. I have a better understanding of the math now.
Because they are on a better current win streak. You could have 10000 wins and 50 losses and be at 10% that’s because your on a really bad losing streak compared to others.
