Guild Wars 2

Please take a look at https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/soloarena

Yes, I know this is solo arena, but wouldnt MMR work the same regardless of solo or team arena? The thing bothering me is, the person in second place. Grend.9462. Second place worldwide for solo arena, yet has only played 16 matches? Sure, he won 14 and lost 2, and this puts him in second place? If both solo and team arena work the same way, I couldn’t imagine how easy it is to just buy a new account, que with some high mmr people, get a few wins and bam, you are on top of the world. What doesnt even make sense, is how did he do such a thing in solo arena where you don’t choose who you are queing with? Does solo and team arena MMR share with each other? If they do, that’s rediculous! Someone could ruin there MMR by playing solo arena often, gimping there self in team arena, or someone could do swell in team arena, and get a few lousy solo wins and be on top of the leaderboard. If this is not how it works, then please inform me how this works; and mabye explain why this guy is number 2 on the leaderboard.

Edit: This guy isnt the only one, there are several in the top 25 with less than 20 games played.

Who cares? Leaderboard decay happens pretty quickly. He will need to either keep winning and prove he belongs there or will fall quickly in the rankings due to lack of games or team RNG catching up.

Either way, it will be resolved soon.

Well something is really not working with the kitten leaderboard .
You play the same 50ppl all day long, from morning till night – they are all in top 200 i would say but yet i am not even ranked anymore ( playing ele atm )

This is really strange, or are there only so few ppl left ?

1. New account
2. Play during off peak hours so you will likely get matched up with people that isn’t near default MMR since there isn’t any new players queuing.
3. Win the games & gain alot of MMR because your difference is greater

mmr doesn’t work, too small community
soloq is a lottery whoever gets the 4v5 with low lv noobs
