You shouldn't worry about your online position. It means almost nothing. If there's anything you should focus on, it's W/L ratio.
Redlynx wanted to cater the multiplayer leaderboards to casuals by having score reflect time played, rather than percentage of games won. Not to mention the skill matching system is poor. I can't take multiplayer serious.
I figured (especially after going back and actually reading some of your post). Just never see anyone abbreviate it. LolOriginally Posted by zFruitBatz
And yea. The MP LB needs a serious overhaul.
