Can someone explain the ranking system to me?

That's...a bunch of crap. Comprehensible and meaningful leaderboard of 100 people? How is it meaningful to compare myself against 99 other random jack-offs, and ignore the whole rest of the player base? What about the thousands of other people just in my league, even? If I was 13,458 out of 84,514 then at least I could just shave off a couple orders of magnitude and know that I would rank about 13th in a room full of 85 random players. But what do I know right now? Only that I have about the same skill level as a group of players who were chosen based on the fact that they have about the same skill level as I do...what? You don't say!
