The biggest design flaw with the leaderboards is that they show only individual statistics for a match type where win/loss ratio and our “ratings” are largely attributed to who we play with and if those players are good. Mathematically put: Five men are on a team and that means that only 20% of your personal rating can actually be attributed to your own skill level. The other 80% of your personal rating can be attributed and given credit to the four other people that you play with.
Simple fix for the leaderboards:
~ Add a new statistic that shows the four players that a user plays with the most.
This would significantly upgrade the community’s ability to read and gauge the skill level of a given user. We would be able to see if his rating is being carried by his team or if he is helping carry his team’s rating.
