I placed bronze with gold medals almost every single round of every single match, that is the lowest I have ever placed and some of the best performances I have ever had, wth overwatch??? fix your comp placements seriously.

I feel you man. The same thing happened to me last season. A friend of mine had the same happen to him also. I posted about this a while ago and just got people telling me to check my stats, but i honestly feel that isn’t the case.

OverWatch skill rankings will always be broken when they rely upon an ELO system that takes team into account versus the individual player. Their skill rating system is horribly flawed.

That sucks dude, it feels freaking terrible to, like I feel like crap placing bronze, idk man that just… sucks
The only thing you can do is try to climb out so you can get a better placement next season.

Medals has absolutely nothing to do with rank. Just because you get gold damage in a bronze rank match doesn’t mean you’re a gold rank player. Just like winning a highschool football match won’t mean you’re clearly NFL material.
In fact, gold medals doesn’t neccesarily mean your performance is outstanding. It could just as easy mean your performance was least bad.
Blizzard should just remove the medal system since it’s only causing toxicity and confusion. Having more damage than everyone else doesn’t mean you’re a great player if you never got on the payload.

The toxicity is being caused by a ranking system that relies on the performance of your teammates which is out of the individual player’s control.
This ELO system chosen by OverWatch development should not be taken seriously by anyone. It is not a proper ranking system for a team based game. Once the individual was removed from the equation and forced to rely upon random teammates to determine their individual rank, the system became flawed and not credible.
Well I know I am a damn good Dva main, I have legit been getting compliments and crap all day long on my Dva plays and all that, plus I am aware that golds are not the most important thing, I am killing the supports and diving the backlines and obsorbing WAY more damage than the average Dva, on average 10k+ a match, my average elims are 35+ and my average obj kills are typically around 18-25 so I must be doing something right lol.
You keep throwing around the term gold medals when there’s PBSR gains win or lose until diamond, yet you’re apparently stuck.
I have never seen anyone get SR for losing, not top streamers nobody, where exactly are you getting that nonsense from?
Do make a living off of acting like an Ahole? dude get over yourself, also if you want to talk about IQ check your spelling.
After looking up PBSR, yeah when I lose I do not lose very much SR at all just so you know, 10 maybe 15 SR at the most, and when I win I gain quite a bit of SR, the issue is every time I get close to silver now I lose 2 or 3 games and it brings me back down to 1420 roughly. I have actually gained SR its just the system is screwing me every time I get a bad team. You only gain SR when your team wins.
eh, the rating system isn’t all that this season. I mean it’s never been great, but this season it’s pretty crazy. I placed 2564 and I’m currently 36-22-2 for an over 62% win rate now at 2772. that is a gain of 208. Now imagine a win and a loss cancel each other out and thats 14 games for a gain of 208. that’s an average of 14.85 sr per win. it’s absurd.
Yes I know wins and losses don’t cancel each other out so neatly, but it does show exactly how much I’m getting screwed over gaining scraps when I win and losing so much more when I lose. you’d think with a win rate over 62% the mmr wouldn’t still be so crappy.

My winrate is currently just below that at 59% with Dva, its not the greatest but its something, also apparently having a a “highest elims in a single match” of 56 is apparently crazy good, still need to work on my accuracy though.
