I've been on the hack leaderboard since level 15 so this is more motivated by the new legion system.

Aside from making the legion list more like the planet list, it might make sense to put the leaderboard in a more prominent position in the game. People barely knew it existed before and now it is even more of an afterthought in terms of legions. I could be wrong about that since the legion tab is probably getting 100 times the activity it did before. Possibly it could also go to ten instead of eight. Only vygoids are all binary like that.
