BG Leaderboard top players are all healers

Good Morning, All. We are following up on the reports here of healers gaining the top spots on the Battlegrounds Leaderboards. We have identified this is not working as intended. We have also identified the bug causing this issue for healers scoring above and beyond intended. We are working toward a fix now for a future incremental.

Once this is resolved, we will reset the leaderboards.

@ZOS_Kevin And what about the issue that was brought up Week 1 of PTS, where Necromancers and Shielders are not climbing leaderboards very much at all due to Pet Damage, Pet Healing, and Shielding done not counting for anything? The issues go hand in hand with the healer crit heal medals. If you fix one but not the other, the leaderboards are still meaningless because they'll still be skewed towards some builds.

Agreed. The medal system needs a few additions to count for shielding and pet damage/heals. I really want to play my necromancer, but I know I won't get far up on the leaderboard because of those issues.

Why not just turn PvP into a DPS mode only like Final Fantasy 14 Did? If you all hate support Roles so much just remove them.

@ZOS_Kevin, I'm currently maining a necro support healer.

It's really frustrating to end a match and see that my healing is on par with a warden DD, but when I look at my cmx stats post match, my mender is always my top heal, doing 20+% of my total healing. There are some matches where I'm losing out on 500-750k healing numbers just from mender.

Additionally, it's frustrating that I'll lose out on credit for anywhere between 500-1.5M of blastbones dmg.

This makes necro seem weak or non-contributory to the team's overall success to people who are not aware of the unique way that this game calculates and grants points to players.

This isn't a new thing. We've been talking about this for years. Why is this never addressed? To my knowledge, no one from ZOS has ever even acknowledged it, let alone provide an explanation as to why the game doesn't credit the caster for these stats.

Please don't just "correct" the "bug" by lowering the critical heal medal. The medal scoring system needs to be accessible to all players, necros and shielders included.

Highest medal score 24200 on a Bird Sorc. They had 2 deaths so they could've scored higher.

What´s even more scuffed is the fact that there is only one leaderboard. If you gonna have separate "competitive" queues for solo and group you should also have separate leaderboards.

Don't forget that's one leaderboard for solo, group and under 50s! Why bother being competitive at all when you can farm under 50s, like we know there are people who live down there and they get rewarded with leaderboard positions. Makes the entire competitive leaderboard pointless.

For a company that values diversity, equity and inclusion, it is surprising that the medal system really punishes the marginalized groups.
