Received Damage should be added - who can take the most beating

Now that's a "leader board" I might have a shot at making! I may not hardly be capable of getting cross-hairs on a target but I can role damage like a pro...

...if I don't get caught unawares, or left behind, or lose situational awareness when zoomed in, or get narced, or come around a corner I thought was clear and walk into the enemy assault lance...

...as long as none of that happens, I'll be top ten on that leader board for sure!

In the meantime, OP those are some impressive stats reported. I don't care if, as some of you are asserting, that those players are using Kodiaks all the time, or engaged in in-game behavior that is somehow providing some sort of crutch or score padding benefit. Regardless of what they are running or how they are running it, from my lowly position those are some consistently amazing performances of truly skilled players.

Now back to my comrades who are in the process of mastering Victors while I support with my (and only basic-ed) Phoenix Hawks and horrid, horrid skills. I'm sure we will all get above the 5000 mark on the leader boards sometime in 2019.

Still meaningless as long as solo queue and group queue stats are mixed. (EDIT: fixed)

It's like having the Olympics and then just give one gold medal for "running", regardless of gender, distance, and even including relay competitors with multiple teammates. It makes zero sense.

FP and QP stats are not mixed for the leaderboards. The FP leaderboard (which can only be viewed in game client, not on the forum) is seperate to the QP leaderboard.

One important flaw of Leaderboards (shared with stats) is, unless I am wrong, that the whole player game history is used.

This means that the values will crystallize in few months and then leaderboard will stop being a dynamic thing. Probably it would be better to consider only the latest 30 days for each player. This way:

- You would have to work to stay where you are.
- You can play relaxed when not interested in LB without ruining your stats forever.
- It would be more dynamic.

They should just redo the whole leaderboard and turn it into more of a ranking system based on proper metrics. Then, with a proper ranking system they can base the matchmaker on it for better matchmaking instead of the pretty poor PSR tier system we have now.
