and win rates will always be topped by players who do premades and have no where near as many games played as players who solo or just play with 1-2 friends and just leave it up to luck for a win. players who solo queue or play with 1-2 of their friends will always be at the bottom despite that they've played hundreds of games, while someone who majority of the time only does premades only has a few dozen games but a higher chance to win will be at the top. for instance, I have the most wins on my datacenter but 99.9% of the time i queue solo or duo with my friend. but my win rate is 56% because i don't run in a premade that would increase my chances of winning so i am nowhere on the win rate list.

Would be ideal to perhaps factor in Kills - death , damage done / healing done etc into the "Overall" rankings. Will be a tricky algorithm though to be honest, what they done is just the easiest and simplest way to do it.

Would be nice if the numbers were at least accurate lols. My total wins, according to the rankings, is almost 2x less than my actual wins on my FL record >_>

It's a good step forward. I'm glad to see square implemented any kind of standings at all. But as others have mentioned, it does need more work. A personal rating system would be a possible way to more accurately determine top players in Frontlines.

You checked weekly not total wins?

I would not want to see a total damage, heals, or kills tab. Nothing like promoting the epeen people to wander around getting kills then playing the game. Unless we get a battle ground that is just kill based. I have seen enough of that crap in PvP in other games.

I hope they implement something similar for Wolves' Den cause I think that would help revive the place a bit. If anywhere, that would be the place to implement a counter for total damage, kills and heals.

7/10 of the top 10 Primal are from my Leviathan LS [Monthly - Victories Tab]
6/10 worldwide [Monthly - Victories Tab]

Just sayin'...

Just as i expected, hunt gear killed other fcs XD most experienced ppl are in Maelstrom, if you see the ranking is full of Red flags, i asked so many friends from other servers and many of them and their friends switched to maelstrom for the hunt gear,anyway is still pretty fun i cant believe i got around 60% win rate with inmortal flames when most of ppl i pvp with got 18-30% win rate lol.

yep. that pretty much sums it up

Wow, I suppose this is the reason why a lot of people have been leaving matches when they knew they were going to lose which is pretty silly as these rankings have no serious bearing at all. I wish it was based on individual ELO but I can see that being difficult to implement given all the variables that occur in matches between zergs.

It will be very interesting to see the next iteration of this because I recognize almost all the names on the rankings for my cluster/GC but I do not see most of those people any more and Adders has been a hot mess of losses ever since. I am certain I won't know any of the names in the next update.
