In a system where matchmaking plays a large role in determining the outcome of the match, a leaderboard will always be meaningless and will never truly represent top guilds.
I disagree, there is a margin of success attributed to matchmaking. That said, a guild sitting at the top after several rounds do they deserve their place there as they have beaten the competition put in front of them.
Meaningless is a bit of an exeguration, i agree.
I'm not saying those guilds don't deserve their place on the leaderboard, it just doesn't truly represent top guilds.
Point is, the competition put in front of the one guild is (probably) vastly different than the competition put in front of another guild, wich devaluates the whole leaderboard. It's not entirely meaningless, but being in a guild that's ranked significantly lower than another guild with similar GP doesn't necessarily mean that you're in a weaker guild. Good chance that you are actually in a weaker guild, but there's also the possibility that your guild just faced 3 guilds that forced a draw for (an extreme) example, where as the other guild didn't.
This ranking/ladder system just isn't suited for competative (e)sports, it's as simple as that.
