How does the leaderboard work?

Earlier today at 1517 MMR I was rank 246. Right now rank 237 has 1517 but I'm no longer on the board at all. What causes getting pushed off the board altogether despite having the games played and MMR, and does it stop happening at a certain MMR?

Read it wrong sorry. Can't see why. Have you played last 3 days? cause you might still be 1517 rating but -100 or something because you haven't played. Only thing I can think of

It could be decay or not keeping up with the minimum games req. That or someone just pushed you off.

If people are tied with you I think it takes whoever has the most games played/won but idk for sure

if you got bumped out of the top 250 you won't get in if others losewhat happened here is that few people got higher rating than you and then lost again - but that does not bring you up again it will still keep thier spotsometimes you can see that the player at #250 has about 10 less rating than #249

Interesting, does that remain true for rewards? Like if someone has a lower rating than me at the end of season but they're "fresh" on the leaderboard, do they get the rewards and I would not?

Yeah there’s basically a time gate on the bottom ranks, eziest way to get back on is play another match and win
