    Lots of people will say "lol stats don't matter" but it doesnt mean that they should be ignored completely :I

    I recently looked at the KDR leaderboards for CTF recently, and heres some examples of what I saw:

    Screen Shot 2015-09-01 at 9.58.57 PM.png
    As you can see there, there's only 3 people that are over just 100 kills. 2 of those over one thousand. Those are the top 20 people on the leaderboards.

    Honestly? I find that sad. These people are playing for barely 10-20 minutes, getting 13+ kills and dying once or twice, and taking the spots of players who actually play the game fairly often.

    Yes, most of those regulars may not care, but it doesn't make it right. This was a bit of a problem on MCPVP, but less so because they had a kill limit to be on the leaderboards, set to 100 kills I believe.

    Basically what I'm proposing is doing the same thing here, make it 100 or more kills (i.e. 500 or 1,000) so it accurately shows the top players with the best KDR's. Right now, the accuracy is very low.

    It should be an easy fix. Maybe it's "not high on the priority list" but chances are it won't take more than 5 minutes to implement. (I've been doing a little bit of coding lately so I know it wouldn't take very long to make a quick conditional statement :stuck_out_tongue:)

    TL DR; more accuracy plz less ppl go on and getting 10 kills then never playing again

    Well first of all, the only time no means yes is in the mind of the frat boy who wants some of that girl booty.

    Otherwise +1 for this.

    Like the idea because its actually fair to the people that actually play CTF for a while compared to like 1 game.
    I'll never get a girlfriend qq :frowning:

    If you're going to comment, please say something at least moderately constructive instead of "nobody cares." If you think I'm doing this so I can be on the leaderboards, I doubt I'd be on there anyway for KDR.

    I simply don't want to see a bunch of people with less that 20 minutes played taking the top spots, and it looks like most of the people commenting don't either. The people that only play for a short time don't deserve it and it's not an accurate representation, which is what the leaderboards should be going for.

    If you want to make a dispute, provide a logical claim that can sufficiently support why this should not be implemented. But honestly I don't see any reason not to do this. There isn't exactly a down side.

    If you're going to reply with another useless comment or flame, don't.
    Thank you ^_^

    Okay, so you don't do it to be on the leaderboards yourself. Well that's a start, but why does it bother you so much that new players make it to the leader boards!? So what if the next Steveskin is number 1 on there! We play CTF for fun, don't we?

    tbh i think kdr should just be removed from the leaderboards. it seems to cause so many problems and if someone really cares about their kdr that much then they can just work it out

    As one of the regular people on this list (you can look it up if you're that bothered as to which one I am) it is annoying that after playing the game and trying, that a good 75% of the people at the top have spent 20 minutes in game farming it. I personally don't really care about my k/d, but it's nice to be able to say you have it, as I'm sure quite a lot of people would agree with me. To say that these people spend 20 minutes farming just to remain on the leaderboards really is honestly pathetic, as I'm sure if a lot of them had spent a few hours on the game, then they wouldn't have nearly as good a score as that seems to indicate. Those people who are doing it don't deserve to be on the leaderboards, and so I'm definitely +1 for setting a kill limit. It will definitely get rid of the people who shouldn't really be there. It won't stop all of them, but at least the vast majority. I know a lot of the regulars will say why bother and that stats don't matter, but everyone should be treated fairly as well, and no matter how you look at it, the behaviour of these farmers with 20 minutes gametime is unfair on the people who really do play the game regularly and get these scores consistently. Those people deserve to be higher than where they actually are.

    This is why I really don't like the new stats (even though probably nothing can be done to merge the old stats with the new). People have spent a ton of time getting stats, and have dedicated countless hours and days to this gamemode, and now I feel that they won't get any recognition from what they've put in with people literally just playing for 10-20 minutes and taking up spots on any leaderboards where the more skilled and dedicated players should be.

    Simply because they don't deserve it and didn't earn it. Yes, we play CTF for fun, but as @LordCh4os and @kevshadowslayer have perfectly stated, leaderboards are meant to recognize the dedicated players and those who really do care about their stats. It's not exactly fair for those who are dedicated to the gamemode and try to be bumped off the leaderboards because some person with an alt or a random plays 10 minutes and gets 10 kills, denying the regular of their accomplishments. People are proud to be able to show that they've accomplished something in what they love to do, and I personally think it's wrong to have someone who's put up 5 minutes of gameplay on a leaderboard versus someone who's put in countless hours. It completely defeats the purpose of the leaderboards.
