Just a quick reminder to not take things too seriously in games
Background:
Although known to many players (especially Demon Hunters with the renegade Grimsever build) for a long time already, the interaction of Sever and Marked for Death: Grim Reaper had never been thoroughly tested in a competitive GR setting. Some members of ZE have spent a lot of time figuring out the exact mechanics and how to make best use of them, which allowed dps Monks to be reintroduced to the currently very stale meta that does not allow for any other dps than DH, and subsequently cleared very high Greater Rifts using this mechanic. On March 11, 2015, the Grim Reaper was hotfixed to no longer work with the Sever proc, so the weapon's damage is no longer able to be spread by this spell, making it very difficult to obtain 66+/63+ keys on nonseason/season, respectively. It has spurred many discussions on various forums, most importantly Gabynator's thread where he asked to remove the rankings in question, which has attracted a lot of attention from the playerbase. Many people have tried to make use of this mechanic, only very few have succeeded, and now that it is fixed, we (Zero Empathy) decided to come out about all the details. Here you are!

Good thing it's gettin fixed. It's ridiculous that anyone can with a straight face claim the top spot using that broken mechanic.
