  The solution to the leaderboards is simple:
  
  1) Solo-Ranked Q
  2) Premade-Ranked Q
  3) Unranked Q
  
  The leaderboard is seperated into TWO catagories:
  1) Solo - this matches you against ONLY your own class.
  2) Premade - this matches you against EVERYONE.
  
  To get your solo elo up, solo Q for a ranked game and win. NO teammates are allowed to que.
  
  To get your premade elo up, get a group of 5 and Q. NO solo que or teams <5 are allowed to que.
  
  If you want to que with 2-4 players or even a team of 5 or by yourself and have it NOT count towards the leaderboards, you can unranked Q.
  
  
  The issue with the leaderboards is that every module certain classes are at a dis-advantage. Ontop of that, premades can PUG stomp.
  
  So the solutions:
  1) Solo-Ranked Q - cant premade, always PUG, leaderboards ONLY ranks you against your own class. It determines your individual effectiveness at YOUR class.
  2) Premade-Ranked Q - ONLY premade vs premade. matches your true premade ability in a team setting. Cant PUG stomp.
  3) Unranked Q - FFA. NO leaderboards.
  
  
  #1 and #3 I would imagine would have very short que times. #2 could be longer que times and for this I would recommend not even using an ELO matchmaking system. Just any 5 man team that Ques can go against anyother 5 man team.
  
  Problems solved.
  
  Leaderboards do give incentive to pvp.

  
  +1.
  i am pro removing that lame existing Liarboard. Reasons stated by ppl above are obviously correct for me.I tell you we used to have tons of fun in PvP before leaderboard was introduced.
  I would like a ranking system tho. It adds spice..
  
  So i vote YES and +1 for ayroux's suggestion

  Here are some reasons why I don't think this is going to happen:
  
  1. It takes up resources to remove anything in the game. They are working on module 6 plus have not time to fix the bugs because the servers are in maintenance mode.
  
  2. Removing the leaderboard which was a touted feature is a sign of failure and error on their part. I'm not so sure Cryptic/PWE wants to publicly announce they dropped the ball.

  the leaderboard promise came as something interesting, but then had several issues, definitely it doesn't show the player for his skills, but the ability to cheat the system, this is sad, and other problems, the queue system, count points, the possibility kick other players, the gs, unbalanced...
  Just my opinion!

  My suggestion:
  1 - Remove the kick option;
  2 - Make clear the scoring system;
  Type: 3 points for a win, 1 point for most Kills, 1 point for most assists, 1 point for less deaths. Losses do not count points but you could earn points by death, assists and less deaths.

  PVP leaderboard is just stupid. Some warned against it before it came out only to go unheard. It's made the pvp community more toxic especially with people still able to exploit it.
