    So recently I've been scrolling through the leaderboards and I've noticed something. The amount of KDR spam accounts is atrocious. I'm not sure if there has been a thread related to this, but over half of the accounts in the KDR leaderboard get it unfairly (For example gabriel1231234 achieved a 7kdr with only 7 kills and 1 death.) This example shows how easy and unfair it is to get on the boards unlike someone like me who tries to actually work for it with a 5.2 kdr and still FAR from the leaderboard. Any thoughts?

    I understand your point, and I do agree it is unfair. Perhaps, they could split it up into different categories? Like the Lvl 1-29, 30-59, 60-99, 100+?

    Don't request locks on threads that aren't yours.
    Just use the report button.

    @striker__sly how do you suggest we implement this? You provided no details.

    My apologies. I'm not very good with providing details fort something like this because I have little coding experience. I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement something like this or not. Mrfoxtastic had a great idea, but it's a matter of executing it which is the problem.


    EDIT: *IMPORTANT* I feel like the leaderboards should start at 5000 kills (kdr leaderboard at least) so the leaderboard takes effort.

    I do not know if this is possible unless some kind of limit can be implemented.

    It should be very easy to implement that tbh. I just want to get rid of unfair leaderboard...ers.

    I agree with this. It's very annoying to see alts who buy Ray and scav, have a five kill inf game, and then just /spawn

    Not all of these players are alts of current or ex-players. There have been 2,000,000 different Minecraft account that have logged on to McBrawl and a huge amount of them will have played McWar at least once. This means that a whole load of players will join, play a few games, do well and quit because they might not enjoy the server. This mean that if they played one game and got 8-1 then they would have an 8.0 KDR thus getting them a place on the leaderboards. Also you can't just kick players like that off the leaderboards just because they aren't an extremely active player; that is just extremely unfair.

    No, because kill death ratio is supposed to average out your play. That would mean if I go 8-0 one game, and 0-4 another game, my overall kdr should be 2.0. One game shouldn't depict kdr. They should make you play ATLEAST 100 games before counting it

    I totally agree. I would feel that peoples kdr should only be counted once they reach a certain lvl so that it is more realistic, like when they reach 30+ or something like that.
