well it's one of the reasons why flash is touted as #1 PL player when his winrate is below several others'

And the fact they don't include playoffs.

No because if they take the win % system, that would mean that a guy with 1-0 is #1.

I would rather see the guy with most wins at the top than one who has only played one single game for 100%

Well yeah obviously that system would be bad too, but right now the "best player" could have 15:21 stats, i mean that is pretty stupid if you ask me (the best player right now has 14 wins right?)

Should just be most wins with a % tiebreaker, if you want to do most wins.

But I think an indicator might be a fun way to do it too, just like for the team ranking. The one with the biggest different betweens wins and losses tops the ranking. :p

I guess a +/- would be optimal then.

Edit: Or maybe not. Then that damn 1-0 guy beats 14-14

It's pretty difficult to get 14 or 15 wins with how many opportunities they get. Whoever has the most wins has gotta be playing a lot, as well as ace matches and winning a good % of them. No way a 15-21 record could happen while other ACE players are stuck at records like 14-7.

Well i just mentioned the worst possible result right now (that would be number one though), obviously it isn't very likely, but imo it shows the problem of this system.
I mean the best way to get number one is to have a mediocre team that goes to the ace very often. Now you can "farm" wins, you don't even need to win all of them, just around 50%, that isn't really the best player imo :D
So yeah, i really dislike the current system.

You should be happy KT is in the top.

Also there's no other possible Top ranking. Maybe an aligulac ? Does it account for game played / % wins etc.. ?

No because if they take the win % system, that would mean that a guy with 1-0 is #1.

It makes just as much sense if #1 has score of 8-11 while #2 is 7-0 in the current system. Both systems are heavily flawed, they should use the third one.

Well i guess there is no real simple solution, i mean everybody who watches it casually has to understand the ranking instantly^^
So i guess i have to live with it and just be mad that TY isn't number one :D

It makes just as much sense if #1 has score of 8-11 while #2 is 7-0 in the current system. Both systems are heavily flawed, they should use the third one.

Except it's virtually impossible for one mediocre player to play 19 games whilst an unstoppable player only plays 7 (barring some ridiculous rookie breakout - still mathematically there's just no way an 8-11 record can be #1). The best players will get to the top of this ranking over the course of a season just like they always do. If you don't have a good winrate you simply can't amass the number of wins to top this anyway in the long term.

If TY played more ace matches he'd probably be #1. The ranking actually favors ace players (extra opportunity for wins), which is fair enough given their opponents.

I guess has herO has officially lost his spot as CJ's ace surprised they sent out Hydra and not Bbyong, maybe because he was fresh

considering the small sample size of games and taking into account variance - most wins is more often than not, a better indicator of a player's ability than win-%.

also Flash is apparently a practice bonjwa in the KT house, and that's probably why he gets sent out for ace matches more than TY.

I would guess Creator would've prepared hard for playing against Bbyong - it's fairly likely that the one true hero is suffering from a little bit of a confidence issue right now, so Bbyong would be a better choice, which means he would be the target of a lot of prep, which means Hydra could snipe in peace
