Good then you wont mind if I take top spot then. Thanks.

Seeing as matches played is a pointless metric, sure

Leader-boards are most commonly used as a tool to sling mud around at other players - ie. dig up their stats to check their "qualifications" to make any arguments in this game.

Correct


It also lets you filter out Potatos

Just checked your stats. 238 average match score, 1.86 K/D, and 1.32 W/L and they are calling you a cheater?

Yeah, ignore them.

Team game, I try not to use my allies as cover. So I lose a mech now and then.

If KDR was to high I would feel like a chicken hiding behind the team.

But since you mentioned it I will get it up to 2 to 1 but no higher.

I mean it is sometimes relevant, like in this thread or when people try to make comments on the state of a game they have not played in months. We get patches, things change, can't put much stock in opinions based on old info.

It isn't your KDR that you need to try and bring up. It is your average match score.

I wouldn't do something like that.

I am about to get onto the first page fairly soon and all of a sudden I am being called ***** in match at the very start in chat, and getting trolled and insulted in VOIP. Something about players cheating was the pretense.

Same match a Cyclops was shooting team mates full burn in the back. Seriously.

I honestly think this was an attempt to get me banned.

Wait... There's a leaderboard?

[Snazzy Dragon]

If the leaderboard actually mattered we wouldn't have a bunch of accounts with one match in the top 20. There would be some sort of qualifying condition to place on the leaderboards.

Good KDR but average match score could be an indication that the pilot shoots to kill and doesn't spray damage in order to inflate stats?

[Y E O N N E]

Plot twist: you can alter which stat the rankings are based on. Magical, I know.

[Johnny Z]

Using only a Phoenix Hawk R for the matches. No other mech used. So its not that bad even if it is the exact same size as the 60 ton Rifleman.

Nope! It's really just a tool to see what someone's average match score is.

[Johnny Z]

Real question. How many players total are on the board? How can I see?

Is this a look at me thread? because the only leader boards Johnny Z is near the top of are games played, wins, and kills. Your kills and wins are more a function of games played than skill.

Just look at the guy 1 spot ahead of you on the kill board.


Real skillz

Quoating this for future reference.
