I know I’m not that good at OW, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t just finish my 5 placement matches for Season 19 and feel like I’m screwed. Won 3/5 matches and in every match I received gold medals repeatedly, and a few PTOG’s. Yet I have only a 1072? How the hell do you calculate that? Hey you carried a few games, but you still suck so here you go with a BS rank. WTF Blizz? Seriously! I am not asking for the highest rank, but at least take what the person does in the ACTUAL matches before assigning SR. I enjoy playing this, but I’m fed up.
You will only be placed +/- 200 sr away from your last rank. It doesn’t matter how well you do
There is no hard skill rating reset and medals really do not matter in determining your own specific performance. Learn more about Competitive Skill rating and how placements work in this guide:
