18/10/2022 Patch Notes 5.08
We agree with feedback that in some regions there are too many players on the leaderboard, and after a certain number leaderboard rank loses a lot of its luster. We are rolling out a cap to the amount of players that can appear on the leaderboard on a region-by-region basis.
KR - 5k
NA - 10k
AP - 15k
EU - 15k
AP = EU 15k
Pacific KR + AP (20k) > EMEA (15k)
edit: Wait till China player base gets added too ya?
Why are you adding those numbers lmfao, are you alright man?
The maximum amount of players that can appear on leaderboard means absolutely nothing about each region's playerbase
Korean "leaderboarders" might be overrepresented per capita, and EMEA "leaderboarders" underrepresented per capita
Do you really think Korea, a country with 50 million population, has only 3 times less playerbase than EMEA, a region with billion population?

To give you an overall how big of a sizeable region Asia or Pacific really is.
The maximum amount of players that can appear on leaderboard means absolutely nothing about each region's playerbase
if the maximum amount needs to be supressed DOWN to 15,000, it means a regions playerbase is considered TOO BIG, to increase the value of being in top 15,000.
Korean "leaderboarders" might be overrepresented per capita, and EMEA "leaderboarders" underrepresented per capita.
Because APAC already has max cap 15,000. Putting Korean players into the APAC leaderboard would make APAC too big (Over 15,000+ ), thats why Korea needs in own leaderboard. If EMEA is underrepresented, why don't North Africa and ME have its own leaderboard too? Maybe not enough players?

I'm just gonna end it with this. Valeriepieris Circle.
I thought you can't play on KR servers if you don't possess a Korean phone number?
Anyway, my point is, we don't how what has bigger playerbase, EMEA, or APAC+KR, there's no way to know that.
EMEA could be big enough for 19k leaderboard, suppressed to 15k.
APAC could be big enough for exactly 15k leaderboard, stays at 15k.
Korea could be big enough for just 2k leaderboard, extended to 5k since it's the minimum value.
19k > 15k + 2k. It's impossible to find out whether me or you is right.
Still doesn't justify APAC having 6 slots last Champions and EMEA only 3 while having about the same population number.
All I can say to that is ur North Africa and Middle East counterpart need to step up their player base population to get their own slots as compared to our JP/KR/CN counterpart. EU and CIS can't carry all of EMEA.
