Missplaced rank placement

I'm late .. but I have found a bit of free time (atm) to create this post.Last season, I ended with an Effective Rating of : 1557 , without being in the top 250.But, the Ranked 250 is at 1547 !Seem there is some kind if glitch there.This is not that I really miss the associated reward, but i'm curious to know how this can happen.

Depends when was your last match before the Season ended. I believe there is some sort of "actualization" requirement when you need to play one match to refresh your actual position on Leaderboard. Not completely sure though.

You did not play enough matches. It should be 150, should it not?

This is maybe the reason.Anyone know the minimum matches to play last season ?

Well ... ranked 241 has 123 matches play...!

Pretty sure it’s 120

The matches requirement vastly depends on how many matches top 250 do. So you'll have to meet average to be on board with them. Otherwise you're not qualified.Anet changed it awhile ago cuz we as players demanded it. Since first few seasons getting duo q, peeps on top 10 played like less than 10 matches at the very end of the season and can still top people. While others played like 200-300 matches or more. So yeah.Scroll over to friends and guilds tab, it should always let you know the match requirement, if any. Good luck this season, mate o/

humm an average based on all 250 player played matches ? This is interesting.

You need a total of 120 at the end of the season to show on the leaderboard.

I’ve seen this before and was answered by Anet. Goes as follows:

when ever you finish a match, the server looks at your rank to determine if you’re high enough to enter top 250. However it seems it does not do the same to test if you’re supposed to drop out of it.

So you were not in top 250, then that guy lost a match. But the server never tried to check if you’re eligible for top 250, because you did not play a match since.

It's always been buggy with the last several spots. This is readily apparent when the minimum required games changes on Tuesdays. You'll see the last few spots be very far below what you'd expect when you look at the trend. In this case the lowest should be 1561

Wow that a fishy design !Thanks for the info.

I can get why you might be excited about being top 250, but I really wouldn't worry about it. seasons reset so often anyway. and most people don't find it particularly cool to be top 250. the small population shows the huge gap between top 250 and even top 100. even between top 100 and 25 is a big difference.

Well, Not really excited. I already have my 'Top 250' title from a previous season & I don't need anything more higher.But, I'm surprised about this design oversights !
