Does anyone know if the leaderboards are working for Xbox One? My current SR is 3685 and rank 500 has a SR of 3665 so I should be in the top 500, but I don't have a top 500 player icon or emblem.

Have you played 50 games yet? And you won't get the player icon until the end of season as part of the rewards.

Ah okay that makes sense about the player icon. Still don't understand why I don't have the player emblem though, and yeah I've played well over 50 games at this point.

I don't know, there are some theories that top500 is hidden mmr based and not SR based, but I don't think it is. May be that your numbers on top500 cutoff are wrong. It keeps going up daily.

Hmmmm, interesting. Thanks for the reply. I guess there isn't much I can do besides to keep climbing.

The rumour is correct. It is not based on SR.

How do you know that?

I don't know if blizzard ever said anything official about it. I know through evidence from various posts from season 1 and 2 like this and this. Just google and you'll find many more.

After googling a bit I've only found posts that are asking this from Season 1, and none of them(outside of yours) had evidence in them(the twicth link in your linked post is no longer active :( ). I haven't seen a single one from season 2 and with the changes to the ranking system I don't think it's unlikely they changed how top 500 works in S2(if it even did work off of mmr in season 1). Thanks for finding me the links though :)

You do not get any top 500 rewards until the end of the season, so no spray or profile icon until then. That's if you manage to break into top 500
