WIB Rating: your new competitive ranking on Who Is Better
Introducing WIB Rating, a seasonal ranking system that replaces the comparison leaderboard. Climb tiers, compete for your position and win prizes.
The problem with the old system
Until now, the Who Is Better leaderboard worked with a simple system: it counted how many comparisons you had won and ranked you by total victories. It worked, but it had clear issues:
- Quantity over quality: Someone who played 200 comparisons with a 55% winrate could rank higher than someone with 20 comparisons and a 90% winrate.
- No risk in losing: You lost a comparison and nothing happened, your win count just didn't go up. There was nothing at stake.
- No progression: There was no real feeling of "I'm improving" or "I'm leveling up".
We needed something better. Something that rewarded consistency, not just volume.
What is WIB Rating
WIB Rating is a competitive scoring system built by Who Is Better. Here's how it works:
- Everyone starts at 0 points (Rookie).
- Every comparison you win adds points. Every loss takes points away.
- The amount of points you gain or lose depends on your experience, your streak and how decisive the result was.
- As you accumulate points, you climb through tiers.
The 10 tiers
| Tier | Rating | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie | 0 - 99 | Grey |
| Contender | 100 - 249 | Bronze |
| Rival | 250 - 449 | Silver |
| Gladiator | 450 - 699 | Gold |
| Titan | 700 - 999 | Teal |
| Champion | 1000 - 1349 | Green |
| Legend | 1350 - 1749 | Blue |
| Mythic | 1750 - 2199 | Purple |
| Apex | 2200 - 2699 | Red |
| Sovereign | 2700+ | Bright gold |
Your tier is displayed on your profile, in comparisons and on the leaderboard.
How points are calculated
Not all victories are worth the same. The system takes three factors into account:
1. Your experience
In your first comparisons you gain (and lose) more points. This lets you position yourself quickly. As you play more, changes stabilize.
- First 10 comparisons: large changes (placement phase)
- Comparisons 11 to 30: moderate changes (calibration phase)
- After 30: stable changes
2. How decisive the result is
Winning 4-2 is not the same as winning 6-0. A dominant victory gives you a bonus:
- 4-2: normal points
- 5-1: +15% bonus
- 6-0: +30% bonus
3. Your streak
If you've been winning several in a row, the system rewards you with an extra multiplier:
- 3 to 4 consecutive wins: +5%
- 5 to 7 in a row: +10%
- 8+ in a row: +20%
Seasons
WIB Rating runs on seasons with a set duration. Each season:
- All ratings reset to 0
- A fresh leaderboard opens up
- Results from the previous season are saved in your history
This keeps the system fresh. It doesn't matter if you joined late, each season is a new opportunity to compete from scratch.
Prizes
At the end of each season, top players on the leaderboard will be eligible for prizes. Prize details will be announced during the season, so there's a real reason to play and climb tiers.
What changed on the platform
- Leaderboard: No longer shows the comparison table. It now displays the WIB Rating ranking with all players, their tier and score.
- Player profile: Now includes a card with your WIB Rating, tier, ranking position, peak and season winrate.
- Comparison results: After each comparison you see how many points you gained or lost, and your current tier.
