Leaderboard updated for season 16 as well as two new stats; survivability and percentile rank.

Only 14% of players are better than me and I have 31% survivability?

I can live with this (31% of the time!)

Yeah, the fact that I can say "I'm in the 0.19 percentile of a video game" is pretty sad. I need to play less video games and be more productive with my life.

Isn't percentile supposed to work the other way, i.e. being 98th percentile means you are in the top 2% and 98% of players are below you?

99.81st percentile does sound better...

I've seen it listed both ways. I put it as the percent of people above you. More easy to understand that percent when people always hear "top 1%" or the 1% vs hearing 99% percentile.

I may just change the wording to avoid confusion to percent because you are right.

EDIT: I went ahead and changed it to be accurate to the definition of percentile.

Thanks for putting this together.

My "progress" is 54%.

What exactly is "progress"? Is 54% good, bad or indifferent?

My relative position to the playerbase is just depressing. I can assure everyone I'm pretty bad at everything but map positioning - Can't shoot straight - and yet I'm in the top 5%.

Positioning is a huge part of this game so...

You could always blame it on the adjusted score system, my adjusted score gets brought down nearly 50 points from not playing a load and yours moves up about 50 for having over 2000 more matches than me.

What surprises me is how incredibly terrible the average player is - like window licking choke on your own tongue bad.

Also how even the top performers still tend to die at least 1 in 3 matches - while having an 8+ let and 3 or 4 w/l.

The people who die the least don't actually have top performing stats. I find that interesting. I would really like to see QP and group play stats split.

Simple. The people that die the least are the people that sit back and do nothing most often, contributing nothing to their team and not performing well by any measure.

You know what the worst part about that is? Russ said he was going to do it when leaderboards first came out and then they just sort of forgot about it.

That's been my assumption but it's good to see the analytics data to support it. Almost universally top performers seem to be well balanced on w/l, KDR, match score (damage) and survivability. People with outliers in any one metric seem to suffer significantly in others.

That's gratifying to see.

Your stats make everything you say sexy.

Just sayin'.

You are correct. It should now be fixed.

Yes, I read that. "Progress is the progress a pilot has made this season compared to their average match score."

But I still couldn't work out what exactly it was supposed to mean.

Is it calculated as: "Progress" = "New Avg Match Score" / "Previous Avg Match Score" - 100

Does this leaderboard include FP?
