They weren't. I've been #1 on the PC board for probably 90% of the last year. The only other two to hold it for a considerable amount of time were David and Dante. I'm not trying to inflate my own head, I'm just being completely honest with you.
|
Well now with the new leaderboard unless David and Dante are active sparrers from the beginning of the season or whenever the leaderboard is reset and remain active they don't stand much chance of getting anywhere close to where they previously did. That's just reducing competition as less people who were able to previously compete for the #1 spot will now not be able to.

The same goes to the iDevice leaderboard. For nearly a year, it's been Sarah, Abood, or Kevin. Occasionally, someone would glitch their points and hold it for a week.
|
So two more people were actually closer or had the #1 spot than with the current system? Just sounds like more lost competition, especially for a system that's supposed to increase spar activity.
|
It's been 36 hours. Now what happens if Sarah decides, "Whoa, I've been winning spars too much lately, time to take a break?" A day or two later, she loses her spot. If she doesn't decide to do that, good. She spars more, and the sparring community is more active.
Before, she could make that same decision and never lose her #1 spot. As long as she spars 5 times a week, she is #1 forever. That just sucks. I was actually going to consider personally asking Sarah not to spar for a day or two, because I knew that she'd poop on the new leaderboard (just as she did the old one), and I wanted everyone to get a good first impression of the new format. But then I had to ask myself how much sense that actually makes, and how is that even fair to her? I mean, she delays badly and skips at times, sure. You can hate her for that if you choose to. But can you even deny that she spars and wins a whole lot? If not, then no one is right to try and stop her from being #1 by a million points.
|
System just seems to be overly favorable to her as no one else has enough time to dedicate to sparring as she does, making it even easier for her than before. I'm not saying it should hold her back but it seems to be holding back other good sparrers who would normally have been competing for #1 spot from getting close to her.

if u wanna encourage noobs to spar, let them hide their loses. im a noob, idc about pts system. all i care about is w-l.

THIS!!! It was never really the points that bothered players that much it was always the win-loss stats, this system was supposed to remove the hesitancy that players had towards sparring but its not really doing that. I know the previous system wasn't perfect, but i feel it could have been tweaked to get rid of some issues about it. Instead of just implementing a completely new system, that will just give the illusion of spar activity increasing until the novelty wears off.
