Get rid of spar top 50 and ratings plz. No one likes it to my knowledge and it is corrupt

I like it, and i'm sure everyone on the list likes it also. Why would they get rid of it?  

I am in the top 50 baby :3

It's a useless system. They need a W-L ratio instead. People use second accounts to boost in the top 50, lose to a noob and you drop a lot (the noob could be someones second account), and the fact that people obsess over it instead of their record. Wouldn't it make sense to have a system where it's not easy for people to boost or have other accounts? W-L ratio will show the top 50 people who have the most wins over losses.

Good idea, but that's just changing the ranking system. He said he thinks they should just get rid of it altogether. :p

I'd have to disagree with him on that. I think it should be changed not gotten rid of. I was thinking about proposing the idea of W-L ratio in the future improvements section, but I don't know lol.  

I actually don't think we should get rid of it altogether, I just hate the current system. I think the win loss ratio system Tyler suggested would be splendid. That way a sparrer's overall prowess could be rated. Much less capricious, as well, no more losing "1000" points in one bad day and looking like a noob.  

It's a lot easier to boost wins than to boost score imo.

Score is much simpler to boost. Get a brand new account and have someone let you win who has a pretty decent score of 6800 or higher and you'll be on the top scores in seconds. Wins take time and have a higher risk of getting caught because of the system they have where if you beat the same person a certain amount of times in a row they come check it out. Also, that would take a long time to do.

People actually started sparring to get in the top 50 list.
I do like it, but the calculation of the rating is horrible.

If you have a score of 6800 I can't imagine why you'd throw that away.

Also, it would be just as easy to get on top of the W-L ratio leaderboard unless they had some requirement, like 100 wins or something.

6800 is easy to earn. Someone would definitly use their second account to boost of that score and shoot to the top. You're wrong about the W-L ratio boosting. I believe Shinta, Jugs, and Kevin have more than 15,000 more wins than losses. To boost past that would take long hours and caution in not getting caught. I have about 9,000 more wins then losses. I really don't see how boosting W-L would be easier than boosting the score. You'd have to boost at least like 25,000+ to be in first place of the W-L ratio.
