So its not about your rank anymore but about grind? I needed to play 100+ games to reach t500 back from plat 5 last season. Iam not always t500 maybe but iam always masters mininum.
So now you are just forced to play and grind to get your rank instead of just being placed properly?
I didnt play for a while and now I come back and see all my platinum ranks are silver from season 1. What kinda system is this? U just lose all ranks when uj dont play for 3 weeks or what?
pretty much … i fear
Thats crazy lol, can´t believe it. I had 458 wins before i left, im not gonna start over again. Thats just insane all that work for nothing.
Wait what? There are no placement matches anymore?
Wait, there are not placements this season?
…your post is unclear, are you saying you were put back to plat this season after getting back to t500 last season…? 
Hahaha, D2 to Gold 1, amazing!!! clown festival.
They’re doing mmr resets more often? That’s going to drag down the match making even more. Just let people keep there mmr so they don’t have to stomp newbs for 400 games to finally be placed at the correct rank.
From plat i grinded back to t500 and ended there, now iam automatically diamond 5 without even doing placements… I got much worse in one day i guess hah.
This is stupid af, its not ranked, its grindfest
…you may want to add that part to your OP, it’s kinda important as it provides context to what you’re discussing… 
…where would a t500/masters usually place in OW1 after doing placements…?
like 3800? 20chars. This game just sucks your rank back to force you grind again, no ty
I’m so confused on their method for ranks, If your rank is changing somewhere in the code every win or loss, we should probably be able to see that? No?
Im confused you just decay now instead of doing placements? Comp in OW2 is an overall downgrade.
same here was p5 on tank and dps and now s1 and g5 with no placements or matches played
I think it is better than it was, I like being placed in a lower bracket and climbing instead of being to high and fall.
Second, I saw some top 500 players only win 20-50 games and just sit there never play again rest of season that i noticed. I think people should have to fight to hold their spot.
A rank decay system with no placements and if you dont play for 3 weeks u will lose all ranks cause of the afk decay thing lol.
wait so your saying people are getting placed lower than they were last season so you have to do it all over again? i looked at my rank and i stayed the same?
wouldnt that make matchmaking worse since you mix up skill levels?
Aaaand i went from gold 5 to bronze 1… screw this… i am out… i was looking forward to new season but the tank is a hilarious joke (hard countered by most champs and esp buffed sym) and i have to climb again? to hell with blizzard
I don’t think is that, is just a trash reset. I stopped playing like last week on Diamond 5 and now I’m Gold 2.
Note that Gold 1 was the rank I received in my first placements in OW2… except I stopped playing for 3 years.
