    Really the most annoying thing is how (as an example) ranks between 1 and 150 don’t actually exist because 149 players tied for perfect, so even one point will push you that much further on rank.
    That seems like an exaggeration.
    Just this past HOD event, there were 77 perfect scores at once in my bracket, with a point lower being tied for 78.

    Not by much.  The first bracket or two usually have 30-60 perfects.  1 loss (not one point) is almost guaranteed to bump you out of the top 100 and sometimes out of the top 150.

    There were 23 perfects on the second bracket for hod. One secondary lost = rank 24

    At that point, you have to wonder why those tiers are even in existence.

    % achievement for individual awards, please. Let coalitions totals be where regular ranking rules.

    Or just expand the brackets so that it's 1-100, 101-250, 251-500, etc

    Reward some accomplishment but don't punish everyone who gets a freeze.......at least until they can figure out how to resume a match or a freeze prevention system.

    One way of looking at it is that that's 77 players very proud of their accomplishment!

    (full disclosure: I was one of them)
    That doesn’t help the other 2500 who experienced losses due to no fault of their own, losing out on hundreds of purple crystals.
