New feature for our awesome leaderboards
It was clear from the beginning what would happen with this system.
Also, what would a sorting by win% change at all ?
You would see ppl that queue as team on top, no matter how good they are, because the algorithm tries to find the best possible game for them.
The system is just flawed, really hope they will come to the same conclusion in january and start to implement a system like in WoW arena.
Not based on players and professions but on real teams.
I mean Anet stated the rewrote the whole backend and now have the tools to play around with settings where they did not have that ability before.
However somehow its been worse at least the leaderboard is so useless, how could they not foresee it ?
All you do is complain about the new leaderboards, even on topics not relevant to it.
Win loss ratio does not matter in the new system. It encourages people to play even when a loss is almost certain. I find them very sucessful, more so than the last leaderboards

Lol … Great teams will never be close to 50-50… It’s unrealistic… It’s like saying well I should win half my games vs an NFL team in football. No, I shouldnt… I should be playing with high school players. But should me vs HS players be on TV or in the newspaper? No, but this system doesn’t differentiate between low players and professionals since bobby can be 500-400 in the lowest MMR bracket and be higher than me 100-0 in the highest MMR bracket… That’s a problem
In the old leaderboard Top Teams were on the top, no matter how many games they or other ppl played.
But right now, mr noname can come out on top , cause he will be around 50% win, and not beein a great player does make this even more possbile, cause the mmr-algo tries to find a “perfect” game.
Thus a medicore 24/7 player will be on the top in the end.
Ofc the Top-Teams could still be on top if they would play that much too, but they don’t.
Leaderboard is a grind now, more than ever.
I agree the only “good” feature in the new leaderboard is to award ppl for playing a game to its end even if it seems lost.
Nice !
However since we now get random -3 points for a disconnect this new feature somewhat loses its glamor.
I never leave games, never did in the past and when i was kicked ( or got a bluescreen ) i rejoined as fast as i could, and often enough one still won the map.
But now, you cannot rejoin and get punished hard … getting -3 if it’s absolutely not your fault feels geart you know.
This has nothing to do with the leaderboard in the first place, but
You can filter this on winrate
Btw: It’s Sey-Shi-zo ^.^

Didn’t know about this…ok looks like we have our more realistic ladder
