There is 20 entries par page. At average players on the first page played 21 match each (I took Mediums board for reference). Two player played more than 50. No one played more than 100.
Shuch small data sample wont show you anything meaningful.


Thing is, the same pattern repeats itself. Every single season. The top 1% of lights score equal to the bottom 95% of assaults. That's just how it's been for the last two years, probably longer.

I just checked the leaderboards and this is what I found*

Lights have had the lowest avg match scores compared to the other classes in every season since the leaderboards came into existence. In some seasons the top performer might change between mediums, heavies, and assaults, but never has it been the light class that was the top performer. **In season 9 lights and mediums scored 472 and 473 respectively- the closest lights have ever come to not being in last place.

Since season 6, when the 10 match minimum was implemented, the lowest to highest avg match score was always lights-mediums-heavies-assaults except seasons 11 and 12 where mediums outperformed the heavies. I think it's safe to say the leaderboard for this current season will maintain the trend of having lights being the lowest-performing class again regardless of the average number of matches played by the top players.

* For this example I only looked at the top player. I didn't bother going through all 20 players for each class in each season to average them out. I doubt it'll change much, but if I'm wrong I'd be interested to see the full breakdown.

Well with all the name calling and complete bashing, there are few "nuggets" of info here.

Locking before people get in trouble for not knowing how to be polite nor constructive.
