@blackyps said in Improvement of Leaderboards:
Including rating in the league leaderboards would defeat the purpose of the league system. One mayor advantage is that it abstracts away the intricacies of trueskill rating. People gaining seemingly random amounts of points after a game, new players looking like they have an established rating, yada, yada, yada. On top of that the league leaderboard is not necessarily sorted by rating, making it even more confusing if we displayed the rating there.
Having a rating leaderboard somewhere on the website is a different story, but in the client it doesn't fit.
Global was given no league, because the rating is too unreliable. I can understand the desire to look up people's global rating, but implying a ranking in skill by putting them in a leaderboard in descending order feels off for me.Not sure how useful win percentage is, the win streak and last game played info seems pretty nice
Given the history of rating in faf i don't think you can just replace rating with the league score and make it intuitive. If someone tells me he's 1600 i can instantly (roughly) understand how good that player is, but if someone tells me he's Gold or diamond i have no clue what i could expect from him.
This is in addition of still seeing rating ingame when you're playing but not able to look it up outside from the game.
I also dont see why you can't have both the league rank and rating. A good example of this is sc2, which has both a league system and rating implemented. I don't think it would be confusing. Not more than the current leaderboards tab which shows you your score but as someone new you have no idea what it entails and how its calculated.
