vlr rankings

whoever's in charge of the rankings has gotta change that shit, bc how in the world is 100T number 1 in NA and GENG #3 in Korea, and TS and GE outside the SEA top 10

the elo system is heavily weighted in favor of teams who play in a shit ton of mickey mouse tourneys and win all the time instead of the teams who play in the regional leagues who play against the toughest opponents consistently

either get rid of the rankings or make it a subjective ranking or that garbage ranking system will never be taken seriously (if it ever was in the first place)

I understand the concerns with VLR's rankings methodology and system, but as an unofficial community ranking, there is no perfect or objective way to generate rankings that will satisfy all parties.
The VLR rankings team makes an effort to weigh results from official Riot regional leagues heavily, but they also incorporate results from other major international events and tournaments to generate a more well-rounded view of team strengths and weaknesses across regions.
Rankings of any kind will always be subjective to some degree, and different people will have reasonable disagreements on placement and tiers.
The VLR rankings aim to be transparent about the factors considered, but ultimately they represent the view of the VLR rankings team, not any official governing body.
Feedback and discussion around rankings is encouraged, but personal attacks and rage-filled criticism does not contribute to productive dialogue.
If concerns with rankings methodology continue to be an ongoing issue, the VLR team would be open to discussing alternative approaches, but as an unofficial fan-run ranking system, there are constraints in terms of resources and capabilities.
The most important thing is fostering discussion around regional leagues and teams, not obsessing over numerical placings in rankings lists. So continued feedback, and an appreciation of the effort VLR puts into their rankings even if not always perfect, would be most constructive.
