This is an addition that came up in mind as i read this thread.

EXAMPLES:

1: The Olympics: Look at Usain bolt.
That guy is EXTREMELY fast.
Do you honestly think it took him a day to get him where he is now? NO.
It took him years and years of dedication to get him where he is now, and thats for everyone that is good in their own category, for example: Basketball, Swimming, Baseball, etc.

It takes dedication to get to #1.
#1 Means you are ranked higher than anyone else, despise the other factors that can give you advantage such as ping, fps, it doesn't matter.
The point is you need to work hard to get in the top, its not something to be gifted with.

Its like saying "HEY PEWDIEPIE, IMA DELETE YO VIDS AND RESET YO SUBS"

To make a long story short: No, you want to be #1 work hard for it.
Thing is tho, the LB is meant to display skill level. In the beginning, it really did tbh. Back then, either winning was really easy or near impossible. It really showed you knew how to play. Now, it shows you know people to boost with or were here first. The LB should be based on skill, not who got here first. That's the error with your analogy is that pewdiepie is a great youtuber and whoever you mentioned is good at sports or some crap. Meanwhile, on mcgamer, most people on the front page of the LB either boosted or tryharded for it a long time. Big evidence? I'm better than 90% of people on the first 5 pages while I have a total (among all of my accounts) of 1400 wins or so. If the LB reset, people who are good could top the LB now. In case you haven't realized, because teamers and hackers are so common now, it's harder to win. Go ahead and check out gravey on his leaderboards page. He wins far less than he used to. He can no longer play on EU and instead resorts to US. Here, teams are big and frequent and he has a hard time taking them out with his ping. I'm pretty sure he also no longer boosts with large teams like he did for most of his wins. If the leaderboards were to reset, you wouldn't have people like elishamutang who doesn't even play, noahsailer who quit, or gravey who is nowhere near his prime any more on the front. Instead, you'd see people like today's Torchy and @debits ofc not them considering they've quit but there are still people like them. Unfortunately, amongst these good players, you'd see a fair bit of boosters still. However, it'd be mostly good players. All I'm saying is, there should be more than two people on the front page of the LB better than me.

Seeing a little bit of confusion regarding the original post. Going to post an addendum on the main page to clear up some confusion and misconceptions.
Then afterwards, maybe I'll put in my two cents.

Also big curious question... considering this is a very big update and it includes another stat reset... why not call this MCSG V3? I think it'd be cool. Any opinions?

Nuh, Nuh, Nuh, NO
People on the 1st page boost?
Only Majestic does. No one else.
Your better than 90% of the people in the first 5 pages?
Is that why you have less than a 1/7 - 1/8 ratio?

This exactly proves my point, another person who supports it, and has a bad ratio.

If new leaderboards are added, only people in the first page or two will be remembered. Also, if the leaderboards reset, the amount of boosters and teams of 4+ would be absolutely insane. Not to mention the hackers.
Also^^^^^^^^^^

This is a great idea for people with bad stats and new players. For those worrying about the top players stats.... the stats are still there on a legacy leaderboard and they will still be good so they will be able to get back up to the top. Also with the new statisics this sounds like an overall great idea how could anyone not support this!
Conversely, I will never be able to get the amount of wins I have. I will never again get 150 more. But I would like to maybe one day hit 200, and if the stats were reset I'd never get there. I don't support it because I think having all-time and lower time period leaderboards is a clear best choice.

Why not make half of the servers what you'd call legacy servers. In the servers you can continue on with your statistics now. The other half can be players who want the reset and play on them.
