Leaderboard Feature Documentation

A leaderboard page has been added to display the top 50 players for each hero. This shows metrics like where the player is distributed on the bell curve of leaderboard scores, how their performance compares to others, and more.

Leaderboard Criteria

To appear on the leaderboard, you must meet the following criteria:

• At least 10 maps played on the hero. This ensures the data is statistically significant and represents consistent performance.
• At least 60 seconds of playtime per map. Brief hero swaps mid-game won't count toward your map total.

Even if you don't appear in the top 50, your rank is still calculated and visible on your profile page, allowing you to track your progress over time.
