[Scenario Leaderboard]

We will be making some overhauls to our Armory, making it more modern and feature rich. The Ranked Scenario Leaderboard will be the first of these pages to go live with a new search page.

The Leaderboard will be updated in 15 minute intervals from the live game server. To qualify to be on the leaderboard you must have at least 5 games played on average per week in that Season.

Right now we have reset MMR for a 'Preseason' testing. The preseason will have started from Monday 20th so all games played since then will have gone to calculate your current MMR (which would have been 1500). You will not appear in the Leaderboard until you play your next game and your MMR is recalculated for the first time.

[Ranked]

[Ranked Scenarios]

- You now receive a weekly Oppressor token reward based on your performance for the week in Solo Ranked queues. The amount varies depending on your current matchmaking rating and amount of matches played, up to 200 matches.
- Too many matches where you are considered a 'deserter' will result in you being excluded from weekly rewards.
- Solo Ranked now requires an item of at least item level 45 or higher in all armor slots to be able to queue for the game mode.
- Ranked Scenario rewards have been reduced to 10 for a win and 3 for a loss as weekly rewards have been implemented.
- Added some more aggressive logging for players who intentionally throw matches or disrupt the game mode. Those that are found disrupting ranked scenarios in any way will find themselves unable to queue for ranked for very long periods of time. Don't push it.
- Players who are non-participants in matches will now be considered as losers of the match if the match is recorded.
- You no longer are forced into Solo Ranked Scenarios when the timer expires. Instead, you are granted a quitter debuff that lasts 1200 seconds (20 minutes).

- Added a new command, .rankedscstatus - this command will display in chat the amount of players of each archetype queued for the Solo Ranked Scenario.

* For UI Developers: Added a new command, .uiscstatus - this command will display in /9 chat the current players of each archetype in a formatted string similar to State of the Realm, similar to the .rankedscstatus command mentioned above but in a format for consumption by UI addons.
An example output string is:
SCPlayers:ScenarioId:OrderTankCount:OrderDPSCount:OrderHealerCount:DestroTankCount:DestroDPSCount:DestroHealerCount
