Currently rank does not matter. The scoreboard is exactly that....a scoreboard. It tracks the players total points earned and diplays them in decending order starting from the highest total. This is simply the players high score, not their "true rank".

I have seen players with 50 wins, 52 losses, make it onto the first page of the scoreboard in the past. Simply because they fought a player with alot of points and won against them a couple of times. Because these kind of players have less wins than they do losses they would obviously not deserver a high "rank" simply because they have alot of points.

I think the best way to remove the ranking system argument is to remove the words "RANK" from the highscoreboard, and replace them with the words "HIGHSCORE". because that is what it is....the players "highscore".
And not a true rank.[/quote]
i think that is just the same as top scores (rank). cause say yourassismy *cough* is at no.1. he will go round

O LOOK AT ME. I HAVE THE HIGHEST SCORE. THAT MEANS I CAN KICK ALL OF YOUR ASSES IN MY ###### TAG GAMES.[/quote]
Rank doesn't mean a thing, I can take some of the highest ranked/best players down quite fast if lag doesn't get in the way.

Alot of the players seem to have the "you can't beat me" kind of attitude, and I take most of them and smack them around in a few matches.

Even after I beat them black and blue, they still will say some of the most stupid things, to try and hide that fact that they lost.

I find it funny, that at least half the people I play, will actually INSULT ME when they are losing/have already lost the match.

I guess most people can't handle losing to me, and having there precious little "rank" get damaged. I must be very scary to alot of people, because most WILL NOT stay to finish an entire match against me.

I have even had some people BEG ME not to kill them, and to "help" them get a better rank. I have had people in the top 10 ask me for help, when it comes to getting a better rank.

If I had to "rank" myself on say skill, I would put myself in NO LESS then the top 50,. I am definately NOT A BEGGINER, it just seems that way sometimes because of lag.
