VLR Team Ranking System

It's so shit. Tier 2-3 teams able to be in top 5 of a region is crazy. MOUZ TOP 3, APEKS Top 4 EMEA. Sentinel academy Cubers or whatever Top 2 NA, Rankers Top 5 (funny though lol). Didn't check other regions, but prolly similar.
Like 100T ain't losing to Rankers right? Right?

i dont think the vlr rankings are taken seriously by anyone like its still obviously a work in progress

no human in the world thinks thats the actual ranking

Yea, it doesn’t really mean much and there’s not much enigma can do to fix it as a solo dev

How do you even fix that though?
Divide the ranking into 2 just like Riot has done with system?
Otherwise win momentum calculation will always be this way .
Maybe one fix they need to do is give more points for international win instead of regional wins which will sort it out a bit but then off-season will largely keep the rankings stale for whole season

It's a beta feature

it's been beta for 5 years now

it's been a "work in progress" since like 2022 lmao, no one takes the rankings seriously.

The ranking system in this website also leans heavily towards games played and if you win a lot of games, regardless (usually) of the "level" of that game, the team climbs in ranking. It also heavily skews how much the team climbs based on their opponent's own ranking. So theoretically, G2 beating FNC in RBHG or some other off-season tournament gets them as many points as G2 beating FNC in Champs.

Because of that, it's easy for t2 teams, most of which already have a higher rank, to farm each other and skyrocket up the rankings. RANKERS is a big example since they're undefeated (for now), and Apeks in 2023-2024 while they were still in EMEA t2 were always like top 3 in the website rankings
