The killboard is a bad indicator. To get into the top10, it's enough to play 8+ hours a day and know all the other classes well. Or play in the primade for 6+ hours a day. It is especially easy to fill in statistics on American players who just want to have fun.
AM, BW, SL, SM, WL, Engi, RP, WP, Kotbs - all 80+ and BIS.
BO and WE for easy game on mid tier sc.

There is a reason why more & more order WB's are seeing more SW's & less Engi's/BW's.
Heck, last night in Eataine, the vast majority of DPS on orderside were SW's.
I'd reference the killboard to confirm, but looks like it's not working at the moment, hmm.
Oh dear, you have absolutely no idea. SW's is not a good solo roaming class, they are easy prey to far better destro solo roaming classes. Squishy and witch elf prey, shaman /magus victims etc.

Also the run-speed tactic is overrated since stance dance mechanics is clunky, is only 20% increase compared to goblin 30% increase effects.

SW's are however great solo zerg surfer class, that is within the protection of the blob/wb etc they can be solo and do it well. They also work well within a 6 man team especially with other elf classes since they synergize, those are the SW'S scoring on the killboard.

Solo roamin SW is garbage compared to OP destro classes. All of those known SW's i.e cypersports etc are just surfing the zerg or playing in their 3-6 mans, you'll never see them actually solo roaming or their stats would be a disaster.

Absolutely nothing clunky nor is it overrated maybe you need to practice pressing one button?
Its best in solo and 6man.
If you die to all the WEs and others you named then its a you problem.

Maybe in your destro biased imaginations, show me a single SW solo roaming ( actually roaming solo ) that is consistently beating Hybrid shamans, Magus, Regen chosens, Def WE's etc. They don't exist in the actual game.

Or i can enlighten you, you'll never see them solo roaming , always within the proximity of a zerg/6 man groups etc. The exception used to be Asssault SW but they are overnerfed and unplayable in this context.

I guess it must collect a lot of dust? The very wording reveals the point.

Kind of need to flesh out your statement a bit more with some substance. What are you trying to say? That by simply being online makes you top kills? That players that are online all the time tend to lean towards SW?

Even on its own, your statement/question doesn't make any sense, it need's to explain itself, lol.
If you deal even 1 dmg for a kill you get that kill participation and roll, so you can just play a lot, dot stuff even in pug warbands and get a spot in that leaderboard
Destruction: 40-BG / 40-DoK / 40-Chosen / 37-Mara / 37/Sorc / 36-SH / 36-Choppa / 24-Shaman / 16-WE
Order: 40-SW / 40-SM / 40-WP / 40-WL / 39-Kotbs / 38-BW / 33-AM / 22-WH / 16-RP / 12-Slayer

These things do not grant a leaderboard kill, not when out of a group at the very least.
