The middle of the ranking shows Warrior and Demon Hunter tied at 1204 ELO, though Warrior wins 59% of its duels compared to Demon Hunter's 48%. At the bottom, Hunter closes the ranking at 1122 ELO with a 37% win rate, just behind Warlock at 1138 ELO. The spread between top and bottom classes reveals a community with distinct preferences, favoring stealth and spellcasting mechanics over other playstyles.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
