Ohmygod anet Are you kidding only me or all 60k soloq pvper? why don’t just exclude people having less than at least total 150 matchs from leaderboard?

The ladder has been broken since it launched. They insist on using Glicko2 to rank players which makes no sense in game like GW2. Just use straight-up ELO

Hey now, don’t be hating on Jade Quarry.

wasn’t this a problem 3-4 months into leaderboard implementation? now, nobody cares.

(unless you are the person paying people to toss games for you, not implying you OP)

maybe he was 0 and 48, and went on 23 wins in a row ?

Leaked internal memo I got from Snowden docs says they plan to fix this in Q3 of 2017.

@OP:

Yes, the leaderboards are horrible. That said, how many people even care about them?

Who cares? He will drop in leaderboards anyway if he isnt playing more matches.

There’s actually a mathematical formula you can find that explains how it works. Glicko makes perfect sense for a game like GW2, since it’s casual oriented: the fact that your rank changes more if you haven’t play in a while mean that you don’t have to play 10k games or play 8h a day to be in the top 1000. There will always be cases like this (he probably had a win streak against top players, by having other top players in his team, or he’s someone’s second account), but in the end, if he doesn’t have the skill to maintain its rank, he’ll drop in the leaderboards. It’s simple statistics: if the sample is too small, it doesn’t mean anything.
