Diablo 3 Season 15 Leaderboards: A Closer Look

As Diablo 3 players eagerly await the next season of competitive play, many are taking a closer look at the current leaderboards to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various characters. Among the most popular classes is the Demon Hunter (DH), which has seen significant changes in recent seasons.

In my opinion, it's still a bit tricky to assess the true value of DHs on the leaderboard due to their relatively low paragon levels. Typically, I would assume that around 200-350 more paragons would be needed to clear the next tier with identical gameplay. The toughness issues associated with lower paragon levels should be mitigated by additional armor alone.

A stark example of this can be seen in the rankings for rank 21 (Chinese) players, who have achieved GR67 / 10:21 / P796. In contrast, R4 players with GR73 / 14:27 / P1254 seem to be under-ranked compared to Fadestep's GR76 / 14:54 / P2467 and Bernkastel's GR75 / 14:48 / P2053.

Upon examining the DH leaderboards, I believe that the current ranks 2-4 demonstrate this disparity quite clearly. It appears that the calculations favor extremely high or low paragon levels, as well as extremely low tiers.

Fortunately, most of the rankings align with my personal expectations, and overall, I think the system is working pretty well. With continued refinement, I'm excited to see how the leaderboards evolve in future seasons.
