Platinums need to Stop Pairing up with Low Gold/Silver

Or it could be that the matchmaker and SR itself are clowns :clown_face:

I still remember the time where people were throwing/throwed all of their placements matches and were literally still in GM.

Well I mean the game tries to keep people in the rank it thinks they belong in, so if people have consistent stats in a high rank but then lose 5 games, doesnt mean that they’re immediately going to drop to plat lol. They lose about 18-24 sr a match just like most people who have played comp a lot. Matchmaker isnt broken, sr is just slow, the real issue is just people are clowns and not all clowns work well together, and the matchmaker has absolutely no way to measure that; all it has are gameplay stats. That’s why honestly no one should solo queue and realistically expect consistency in your games. You’ll only have consistency if you make it yourself: make some friends and grind

Which is why I’m not asking you to change the rules, I’m asking Blizzard.

If you beat Plats and diamonds all the same you wouldn’t be high gold/borderline plat on all your roles.

I said when ā€˜I WAS CLIMBING’. When I got closer to plat, MMR tried to keep me in my rank by putting me in games with/against plats and diamonds, I won those games anyway. I’m not saying I’m better than your average plat or diamond player, I just said among those games where I’m matched with/against Diamonds/Plats, I won the games.

Perhaps when you stop complaining about your teammates, you’ll be in plat too for all your roles.

Got it. So you beat plats and diamonds but can’t beat golds. Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

In hindsight, I beat more golds than plats and diamonds, that’s why I’m in plat.

No. Golds dont know basic stuff like grouping up, pushing together, opening kills. Overwatch below ~ 2300 is just random run and shoot anywhere simulator

Nor do plats. Atleast not from what I’ve seen.

Its called boosting. There is a reason they recommend if you group with people that you group with people that are at least one rank higher than you.

as I said… a plat player wont carry a gold match

Even if you don’t pair up with them, they’re going to be in your games. I’m mid gold, and always have a mix of golds/silvers/plats in every match.

It wasn’t like this when the game was more populated. I would usually be in the 2400ish range before I started seeing Plat players. But the times have changed, and the game is no longer as popular as it once was

If you are 500 SR above the team average, then yes. Yes you will.

as I said before… plat players have not enough mechanic/aim skill to carry… maybe they can carry in bronze but not above

You are statistically incorrect.

statistically I see a lot of plat players on my alt in my and in the enemy team… they are capable for it… and i’m done about this… if you think 500 SR is enough for carry you are really wrong

Feel free to track the stats yourself if you don’t believe me. But unfortunately you won’t because you think ā€œyou’re wrongā€ disproves someone. Ignored.

I’d like the option to only be paired with other solo players and anyone who is level 100 and below should be thrown in some kind of newcomer pool. I’ve had it with these fresh smurfs on this unbalanced plane!

It is boosting, they’re literally selling boosts, this is what they do.
