My first placement was Bronz 5 with 1 loss 7 wins, my next placement was Bronz 5 with 0 losses and 7 wins. What is up with this? How do I go from Bronz 5 to Bronz 5 with a total of 14 wins 1 loss?

Itâs almost like one of those unranked bronze to GM videos only not that severe.
They put all the diamond and masters players in bronze 3 to see what happens.
Yup. Happened to me in Support + DPS Queue now.
DPS Queue I have 80% WR, with my last âupdateâ a perfect 7-0 and nearly perfect stats. I focused on NOT DYING at all and never topped 4 deaths. 30 Elims avg.
Even if itâs not âbuggedâ - Blizz created a crabs in bucket scenario and the grind to climb is ruining the game for the others that are losing.
I donât mind winning 80% of my games but itâs going to get old if I never rank up.

I was 1300 last season in DPS and it took 21 wins, over roughly 30 games, to advance from b5 to b4, with me trying extremely hard and using all of my communication skills to fuzz with people.
Itâs not bugged but what I theorize has happened is they eliminated the bottom 1000sr to create a new curve that makes it harder to advance, especially at the bottom of the ladder. Hence why you hear people saying âeveryone was dropped 1000srâ; masters is now plat.
They are also trying REALLY hard to get peopleâs focus off of the actual rank. Itâs actually easier to determine what your rank is by looking at the icon than the actual number in your profile. >_<
See - I am not trying hard at all. I am team wiping them on first fight with Mei and then steam rolling from there. Every game.
Itâs comical how easy it is. It shouldnât take 60+ games for me to grind out a visual rank to be start being matched with good players.
And you should have to. Blizzard Comp is toxic forcing you to curbstomp bronze players. They should be ashamed in 2022 to create a system this evil.

What were you previously ranked in the Damage role?
Nope. Never played in the Damage role queue in OW 1 - only Tank which I have not done placements for in OW2.
Iâve played QP every Monday for years with friends and I have a lot of game skill and knowledge of heroes. Never touched ranked since season 4 until last season I did Tank placements to get my last 15 points for gold skin in Tank queue. I placed Bronze 1 then which is understandable since I never touched ranked for years.
hmmmm. Then youâd be placed as a fresh account where it appears at be at the very bottom of the ladder, at b5 (or 1350 if âeveryone was dropped 1000srâ holds true). According to the developer update every bracket equates to around 100sr so once you advance to 1500, or previous silver, youâd see an advance of 1 bracket.
âKeep winning and youâll go upâ does hold true, surprisingly. You should go up a tier very soon if you go over 50%, but I do agree that it feels kinda wonky.
Iâve been recording the games and stats to see how long it takes to push on the Damage que - only Mei.
Iâm leaning towards what you are saying here and decay might be putting a lot of inactive competitive accounts at 0.
Whatâs broken about the system is that it should be pushing you closer to 50% WR and pushing you up to the ceiling.
Right now, itâs creating a deep bucket of crabs trying to climb to the top. Those that are higher skilled are stuck cause of how high they have to grind a lot wins just to get there. Basically just shoving the actual bronzes against the floor.

I did another 7 wins and 1 loss and got Bronz 3, so maybe Bronz 4 just doesnât register?
it seems to be only bronze 5 that is having this issue. I went from d5 to d4 with like a 60% winrate at best (the stats we have are pathetic so I cant actually tell you my role win percentage).
its either bugged or bronze 5 isnt the âsr floorâ.
as in, you havenât gained enough sr to counteract how far below bronze 5 you were placed.
both are speculation but they are the two that make the most sense to me.
either way its kinda pathetic.
Iâve already played against 2 full teams of Masters in bronze 5. Add in the throwers, leavers, little kids streaming on twitch to see how toxic they can get before a ban ( yes for real ) and it like⊠Overwatch 1 was to a T.
Okay, now I am in silver 5. I am thinking Bronz 4 and 5 are bugged.

How many updates are you on now?
I am seeing reports of people on 5 updates and still Bronze 5
Like 4th-5th update +++++++++++
On update 4, I made Bronz 3, then made Silver 5 on update 5. Update 1, 2, and 3 were Bronz 5.
