So, is it intended for this to be an ever increasing rating or at some point does it actually account for the skill of your opponents before awarding points? At the moment, whoever spams the most games will be on top of the list, and if they spam enough, they don't even have to win.

So then... what's the point of the rating system? I've beaten many of the people I see in the top 10 after going into the match thinking "Oh man, this person might actually be challenging" only to get let down (Although, it's entirely possible they just had bad item spawns and weren't the first person to +10 blast distance to snipe people off screen...).
I'm pretty sure 1 of them was just AFKing every game though...
That's kind of... dumb.
Great addition though, otherwise!

Yeah like I said I've been 25-3 and 19-4 and a lot of other great winnings but its only reliant on points scored. It may reset every week like the old PvP did (as far as I know)

If they ever implement an
If they ever implement an arena-style game, I would hope they would use an ACTUAL rating system at least. ELO or something isn't even hard to implement, given that its integrated into many games already.
That might not be casual enough for this game though, /shrug.

I was disappointed that this really good player I met didn't get a higher rank just because they didn't play as long. It would be really nice if the rankings were calculated based on the kills/death ratio and/or the length of time the player was alive. Yes it depends on frequency of play, but it's not so heavily weighted on that. Comments?

I do wish there was some semblance to skill in the leaderboards. Doesn't matter how good you are to be number one, just how much you play. D:

Yes it is heavily weighted on frequency since a full party easily nets you 50-70 points. You don't even have to kill anyone since points are awarded upon every death but your own. This also sucks for smaller games (which are more fun) since the points won't go higher than 30 typically. Obviously you can move up faster if you get 100 points per game while the guy in 10th gets 30 but catching up is just hard.
Nope its the people with the most time to spare who will be on top. You can only get so many points from skill alone. My highest was 107 where you can lsoe and still get 70 points or so. I've had really good games; 25-3, 19-4, but you still only get rank points = to your points scored that game which are almost always around 70 points.
