       ditch the leaderboard

       The leaderboard helps zerg by giving them info on who is new and
       experienced and they use this info to determine where to put new
       spawners. It leads to cherry picking of experienced players.
       experienced players end up deleting their bank file to keep
       their ratio down and prevent zerg targeting them.
       thank you for reading :)

       You are right, this is a known issue. But as an experienced
       player I have to say, I dont have a problem being focused. Its
       actually one of the better things which can happen in this game.
       Therefore, I like the leaderboard.
       The ability that players can remove their stats is annoying, but
       can not be fixed I think.

       How is the score calculated?  There are players with losing
       records ranked far higher than players with winning records.  If
       you want an informative leaderboard, it should show win
       percentage.

       1 point for wins and one for every 4 losses.
       I like the leaderboard. It allows to predict the abilities of
       your teammates. It is not as useful for the zerg as players can
       chose to delete their bank file. As an experienced zerg player
       you should look at the playstyle rather than score anyways as
       there are a ton of players with high scores but terrible win
       rates. So yeah I don't mind it being there.

       I play the majority of my zerg games without even looking at the
       rating board. Granted, I make strikelings far in the back so I
       don't need to choose a terran. I try damaging the terrans on 3
       gas first with strikes, they have the most income & they are
       most spread out. They are the obvious target even if they have 0
       rating and another player has 1k xD
       This is how you should do it^^ and most players actually do it
       like that I think.

       The focus is most of the games based on how fast you expand.
       The faster you expand the more you will be focused x)
       Rating is irrelevant.

       One can get rid of the leaderboard if you reverse-engineer the
       bank file format, and in addition the hash algorithmus that is
       used by Zerg Hex to protect the values and then setup a number
       for games won that results in an overflow for the signed int
       that is used here. That deactivates the dashboard for all
       players. I did this for some time to remove this clutter, but
       other players were very confused because they got used to it.
       So, people got used to the board, let it have them. Nobody gets
       hurt.
