Everything on the leaderboard is pointless IMHO.

Kills? Just a measure of how much time someone played the game.

KDR? The top 50 or w/e are just people who stat padded and stopped playing to preserve their spots.

War points? Just like kills, depends on how much the person has played.

W/L ratio? Sure winning is great, I'm all for winning, but this stat is highly dependent on if you roll with randoms or not. & just like KDR all the top spots are likely just padders.

The only thing I find the leaderboards useful for is knowing who's really active and experienced so far in this build.

how bout you take it a step further. what if leaderboards were like eve killboards? eve killboards measure not only how many kills/deaths but measures the amount of isk your killing compared to what your losing. That's really the only stat that counts how much isk your losing to what your killing. Brings up so much more meaning in those stats i.e. good with cheap items or someone only uses expensive items therefore target that person on the battlefield and damage them psychologically.

Some people want to pad a KDR to be at the top, whatever. As soon as they start listing a corp battle W/L then I'll start caring. Until then it really doesn't matter.

This is Exactly, what they should have.

I just killed you. it doesnt matter how. you're dead, thats whats important. eventually, I'm sure we'll have full-on battle mails, that will detail important stats, like actual damage done, ISK efficiency of each player/team, gear used/lost, salvage, most revives/nano resupplies, most armor remotely repped, etc. all that and W/L > KDR, and particularly headshots.
