Ranking Criteria
Current Melee
Melee
These rankings are based on:
- Tournament/League Placement
- Tournament Impact (when on teams)
- First to 7 duels
- 1v1 Linebattle impact
- Success in the NW PUG System.
These criteria will only be looked at as far back as 6 months, and players should look at each other as if they just met them in regards to these rankings. As a note, success in groupfighting servers will not greatly increase your ranking other than for rare exceptions. There is too much variance in casual groupfighting. What really matters here is if you can show your skill in official settings.

Even with low melee skill the 63e can dominate other regiments as the leaders pretty excellent tactically. Tico/Breaches These guys held the spot of best regiment for at least 3 years straight. However they always have had some of the best meleers in the game, so we don't know what the regiment might have been like with less skilled melee. Because of that they are slightly below Karth/Offizer. AsianP Old school leader known universally, every regiment he leads will compete for top 3 regiments, and has held top 1 most notably during the 79th days. Has always had some of the best melee players in the game, so like Tico+Breaches, I put Asian below Karth. Grimsight Lead only contending regiment against the 12th during their reign. Pioneered some new tactics that you see used in every 1v1 these days. CheeseyPants Cheesey lead his regiment to be the top regiment for a short period of time and won Season 3 NWL. However things slowed down after some key melee players went inactive/left. Lawbringer Lawbringer created a very serious contending regiment, springing up almost out of no where. They did well under his leadership, I would note that they had some very very good melee players to rely on however (Many of their regulars came from a native clan) Alexander Won the TNWL with some great leading. Would have to see them reign longer to be higher on this list though. Stox Stox wasn't very interested in competitive linebattle, it was more Locust & DrBYeByes doing. Regardless they did quite well in 1v1s. Note that they did have a huge amount of players to choose from for their 1v1s. Millander One of the great leaders of the early days of NW, and lead the guys who created the 9y. However there wasn't as much of a focus on 1v1s so we can't know how he would do these days. Ody Through all the hate he gets, hes a decent leader. Crutched on melee during some periods though.

This list is all officially bullshit. Grimsight is known for being biased and whats the point of having a damn list if it won't get updated? I'm going to say it straight up. Half of these dudes on this list will get beat on any given day, and even the "TOP" guys you got, they are only good sometimes but not consistent. Don't make a list if you won't update it and if you're biased. I thought if I beat the meleers ranked higher than me, I'd get moved up. But obviously this list is rigged based on who kisses ass the most to certain people. People can say what they want, but the results don't lie. All the top meleers know what's up and who's REALLY the best and who isn't. I'm not #1 on this list but I know for sure, I'm not a 83. Here are the results to prove that.
Results:
Dante vs 1stIB_Lt_Anthony
Dante wins 7-1
Location: NA Duel 1/12/16
Dante vs 12e_Sdt_Kristine
2/8/16
Dante wins 7-0 Location: West Coast Duel

Dante wins 7-1 Location: NA Duel
Dante vs 1stRM_Col_George_V
2/16/16
Dante wins 7-2 Location: NA Duel (Dante actually beat George 8-2 but gave a round away when it was 4-1 and restarted the 4-1 because George had a ping spike)
Dante vs FancyPants
2/19/16
Dante wins 7-4 Location: NA Duel
Dante vs Dukers
2/19/16
Dante wins 7-1 Location: NA Duel
Anthony is an 83 and if I'm ranked the same as him, its just disrespectful because look at the results. Fancypants is ranked really high and I beat him too, along with Dukers. (Shoutout to Fancypants and Dukers though, because there are alot of pussies in this game, and they're not one of em. They showed up and dueled)
Facts are facts. Update the damn list, and if you aren't going to do that, then delete it.
First, I recommend you read the ranking criteria. Second, I don't bump people up on the rankings as soon as they ask me to. I'll take what you say into consideration when I do updates - which are done in bulk semi-frequently (2-4 weeks). I can't make changes every other day, it would be too volatile.
Also, in the words of our lord and savior RitZ: crying more may help. (probably not though, you can leave your angsty rage out of the thread, i'm not listening to it. showing me your results is all that you have to do)
Listen whatever ranking criteria you got or whatever thing you got going on is officially bullshit. Let me tell you what you SHOULD do because I'm right in this. Hear me out. Excuse my arrogance but I'm about to help the whole NW community with this.
1. Tournaments are important. We all know that. Groupfighting is also important. There are some players like Jackie that could join any groupfighting team, and automatically make them better and clutch win it. There are other players who are great duelists, but choke in Groupfights. There are also players that are great at groupfighting, but can't duel. None of this is more important than the other, they all require a unique amount of skill.
Now what I'm saying is this: Let's say Jackie won the recent Tournament, he should be #1 on the list, and the highest ranked. Now let's say that Apoc for example has an official duel with Jackie recently, and Apoc wins 7-5. Since Jackie is still the tournament winner, his ranking won't go down by much or even at all, but Apoc would either 1. Stay in the elite top 3 or move up to #2. If Apoc wins again, than Currently he is #1 etc.
If players in NW know that they can get MOVED UP or DOWN in the rankings based on Official Duels, it'll make the whole community much more competitive and cause everyone to sharpen their skills. We'll also know how to gauge who is the favorite leading up to tournaments, based on official duel results. So this will encourage players in the 83-88 rating to duel among each other, and try to clean out their divisions, and then try to challenge higher ranks. This is going to be great for everyone in the community because: More duels = we really know who's the best.
We'll elect one person to be the one who receives the Official Duel Results every week on a select date. That information will be sent to Grimsight, and Grim can just take a brief look at who beat who, on what date and just shift the rankings. That can happen Once every 2 weeks. Since you made the list, it's your responsibility to update it, and trust me we're not asking for much.
So think of Official Duels the trials to get to the Tournament (World Cup). Based on recent official duel results we can also have people who are just fighting bums to duel top players to see if they're worthy of even getting into the tournaments. So we'll end up with 10-12 really elite players who have had a shit ton of official duels and are all hungry to win, instead of 20 players who haven't trained and are just there for the recognition, even if they lose. (Cough cough Anthony)
Groupfighting results will be posted based on PUGs and just performance overall on groupfighting servers. You can take screenshots of major accomplishments, let's say that it's you, against a stacked team of elite meleers and you go 20-2, you can report that. So equal emphasis will be given for groupfights as well.
So what I'm asking is going to make NW better overall, I don't know why many people do not see that. Step back for a moment and realize I'm doing what everyone wants.
People were arguing with you for hours whether if Blood is a 93? It shouldn't be up to you, since you aren't a top 5 meleer but at the same time, it shouldn't go up to some people who just want to make themselves feel better by being the only ones in the 93 slot.
What will solve that is recent Groupfighting results, and recent official duel results. "Oh wait he's a 93 but lost 7-2 to a 88 and then lost 3 more duels 7-3 against 93's? Yeah he's going down. etc"
As a community we need to provide evidence if we want people to go up or down. But Grimsight shouldn't be the only factor deciding because he is slightly biased.
So pretty much, we'll elect 1 person to get Official Duel Results, another person to get Official Groupfighting Results, and we all know the Tournament Results.
These 2 People can start a thread and choose a specific date where everyone posts their Official Duel Results/Groupfighting Results ONLY, no comments or any other shit that ruins the thread. These people then relay the message to Grimsight with the results and then Grim updates it once every 2 weeks.
You're welcome NW.
