Yeah, I just wanted to keep pressing you until you'd come out to say it as vaguely as possible.

I want a leaderboard that encourages players to spar more actively and rewards them for winning against better players, because I want more people to spar in the Battle Arena so that it can be more enjoyable and competitive. I'd love to see queues of at least 5 at all times.

You want this placebo leaderboard so that you can remain inactive and still rank high on an "all-time leaderboard," because you don't care about sparring. You probably have no interest in sparring actively. You're very strange to tell me that what I'm suggesting is biased when it's functionality is to make players spar actively and naturally. The only way it may seem biased to you is because I'm an active sparrer. Are you?

If you want an all-time wins leaderboard, go sit by the library books. That's what those are for. The only reason I even suggest that it last three months is because that's how long a GST season lasts. It's how long the current leaderboard lasts. You act like I just came up with that number when it's been clearly predefined. If a season is too long, why isn't an all-time board too long? Scrap both then, and I'm all for a daily and weekly leaderboard.

Whatever encourages more players to spar is what I want, and I bet that's also what every person who enjoys sparring wants. What is it that you want? There's a conflict of interest on your part. You're telling people that "sparring is dead" yet your idea of reviving it includes adding an all-time wins leaderboard that gives players a four-year head start. That's pretty genius. I bet that'd attract a ton of new sparrers to the Battle Arena!
