I like looking at the leaderboard to see how I rank against my fellow Mech Warriors. But it's hard to figure that out. I can see that I rank 4714 on the Global leaderboard using Average Match Score, but it's harder to figure out where I fall in the distribution of players.

Can you provide some additional information, such as the following?

• The number of players are on the selected board: Global, Light, Medium, etc.
  
• My percentile rank in that population. Currently, I have to guess at page numbers and update the URL to try to find the last page to get the full count. It's tedious.
  
• A distribution graph showing the selected criterion (Average Match Score, Kill/Death Ratio, Matches, etc). This would allow me to better understand my percentile and how the full population of players have performed. This might be a little more computationally intensive, so creating the graph once an hour would be acceptable.
  
• My change in score. I would love to see that as a graph on a week by week basis. Even showing the delta since the end of the previous month would be helpful.
  
• Filter by the number of matches played. I posted a topic asking why so many of the top-ranked players on the leaderboards have played so few matches in the current season. I'd like to be able to view a leaderboard that shows people who have played 50 or more matches or 100 or more matches. That would eliminate the people who are gaming the system to improve their ranking. The only category in which I am a leader is in the number of matches played. I rank 11 in the Global Overview currently. There are only 3 players on the first page of that ranking with higher Average Match Scores than me. This lets me see how I fair against the general population with less noise in the system. When you look at the Global Overview ranked by Average Match Score, only 5 out of the 20 people listed have played more then 30 games. I'd like to be able to view that board with these people not counted.
  
• Time in Match: I'd like to see the average amount of time I live in my matches. Living longer gives you more time to get your damage in. It also suggests that you're playing with a greater sense of situational awareness. I'd like to see this tracked as a metric so I can see if I'm improving.
  
• Download button. I'd love to be able to download the data for the leaderboard so that I can drop it into Excel and do my own analysis. Is there a way to do that and I'm just not seeing it? Is there a CURL command or something I can use to get this data?

I know you are strapped for resources and everyone is clamoring for features, but I think these are fairly simple compared to in-game changes. I also recognize that the leaderboards are a peripheral concern to the game itself. Maybe you could do the ones that are easiest on this list? Thanks for your consideration.
