Leaderboard - New Implementation, Easily Accessible, Diminishing Returns
Syconawt:
Great idea guys, best of luck with its implementation.
Steve CZ:
I like the idea! Just a few questions: How are the points awarded in the first week, when the leaderboard is still empty? Second, do you get the participation points every time, or just if you lose all matches? And last, you said "Multiple clans with equal points awarded" when you make mixed team, but what if you make a team from the 1st and the 2nd team? Shouldn't they get different points?
Anyway, we'll hopefully be there to test it :P

Hi Steve, thank you for the questions!

In the first week, nobody is ranked, so everybody will get the 4 points each win.

Only if you lose all matches. So the 1st ranked team is even more at disadvantage, because no wins are better than one win for them.

Actually the wording is misleading here. The base points aka wins will be shared, but the multiplier will be accordingly to the clan's ranking. If first and second rank play together the second ranked clan will get the double amount of points (except they lose all matches then both will get the two participation points).

I don't like the idea of a system that is anomaly-prone and very odd in general.
But maybe it's the best choice with current competitive scene.
I'm anxious to see how it works in practise, though.
SteamyNoodle:
The diminishing returns seem a bit... severe. If there's a difference of only 1 or 2 points between the first and second place teams it seems odd to me that the second place team gets essentially double the rewards for the same level of performance. Seems like there will be really high amounts of rubber banding, with a couple of teams basically trading off first place every week using the bonus from being lower on the board.
The idea of the lower ranked teams getting increased benefits to allow them to remain in the competition I like, but starting that at second place and increasing it to 4X rewards, considering the difference from 1st to 4th could be only a handful of points seems extremely prone to rubber banding.
Something like 1 point each for the top 3 teams, 2 points for the rest of the top 5, 3 for the top 10 and 4 for everyone else I think would allow for the number to be a little more reflective of performance.
