leader boards rarely ever actually promote good teamwork and teamplay because people are too busy trying to fluff up their epeen.

so thank you but no.

We don't need or want an epeen billboard. It'll pander to kids with such low self-esteem that their only measure of self-worth is being on it.

I don't see any problem with leader boards.

I think if it refreshed every 24 hours AND used a different means of scoring this would be fantastic for getting more players to play more frequently.

I find that the major emphasis this game places on KDR is much more harmful to the game as it encourages bad, unsportsmanlike behavior.

They need to remove KDR and replace it with more stats that give a larger picture of the player's skill. For example, rather than listing the KDR, they should list how many Kill Shots, Assists, Most Damage Kills, Solo Kills, etc. you have.

That's much more informative and removes the urge to increase one's KDR like it's a "progress level" to be increased — which is exactly the message this game gives when it's the most prominently featured stat on the stat profile.

ewww..... have the leaderboard reset every 24 with different skills prioritized.

So Monday is spotting
Tuesday is Kills
Wednesday is Proximity points (staying together with your lance)
Thursday is component destruction
etc.

Good way to encourage people to play rolls and bring lighter mechs. Who would like to see Light mechs at 50%????

No game really benefits from a leaderboard.

It just leads to hacking cuz Ermagerd, gotta be the topz.....

and increase in cheese ball play, cuz you gotta abuse the system to get kills as quick and cheap as possible...

TKs cuz...daz mah kill bro!

Camping and lazy players, cuz dun wanna hurt mah KD..

Lack of teamwork, cuz everyone is out to improve thier own Leaderboard standing....

No, leaderboards are lame really....

I almost wouldnt mind if games just stopped tracking stats entirely...then atleast i know I wouldnt feel the need to improve mine...I could probably actually get some enjoyment out of the game.....and maybe getting the gutter duster battalion 100 times in a row wouldnt be so bad....but idk...

Some kind of leader board coupled with bonus XP and C-Bills for taking down the top dogs. Glory for them, money for me

I would like to see the same thing as this tourney but reset weekly. Also if it was not only solo would be cool. Perhaps a solo and group ladder that had rewards (even if just cbills or gxp) so people can have comparison.

Seeing as how every one got a huge kick out of where they placed in the chassis tourney, how cool would it be if there was a "30 day" leader board that showed the best players in each chassis, and where you ranked?

hwo about not time related, instead make it: the best 10 matches form the past 3 days. This way the whole rankings would be very much more dynamic. Changing every day depending on a players activity and recent performance.

Instead of a leader board based on stats every mech should have reputation that is earned and if you kill a high rep mech your rep goes up their rep goes down
