So i hear alot of people complaining about being stuck in low ranks because of bad teamates and personally im a mid to low silver and sometimes even high bronze player I do agree that alot of it seems to be luck of the draw as far as teamates are concerned.
So all that to say I was wondering if a “rank reset” would be possible. My idea was to give players the option to redo your plavements as if they are your first so have you quick play mmr used to determine the first few games and then let the competitive mmr algorithm take over from there as usual.
While this wont be a permanent fix to the toxicity and uncooporative problems that are present in competitive play I believe it would be a good starting point and solid evidence of just how hard the team is working on improving this game.
Thank you for your time.
They wont do it because too many people will be placed in high ranks. And it will show the matchmaking or skill system is flawed.
It won’t change anything. Results will be completely random, everyone gets placed all over. Bronze players get lucky and put in diamond, then lose over the next 2 months. People who are bad who get ranked bad will just blame it on the system again, and after a few months we’re back where we started, and yall scrubs will still blame it on Blizzard.
Then thats still an issue with the match making system…
why not just make it like their other games
if people get ranks by luck then why do you care so much about getting into a higher rank? you are clearly just unlucky dude, you probably play better than diamonds…
if you think thats sarcasm then stop deluding yourself about mm holding you down and improve as a player
All this would accomplish is remove bronze players and make the bell curve even worse plat to silver would become a bigger crap shoot than it already is, this would be absolutely terrible for the balance of competitive plus you’d give boosters and smurfs a really easy way to screw with balance even further.
I suggest that everyone should start from bronze , because the placements aren’t good and that is the big problem when you try to climb up , and for example from bronze to silver, from silver to gold, gold to platinum. There are players in platinum ,gold and silver that are making basic mistakes. I mean you don’t have to be a pro to be in silver or gold or close to platinum , you need some practice , and some tips and tricks that people search on youtube from pro players how to climb from a division rank to another, and I can tell you that , they don’t work when you have people in your rank that are doing basic mistakes even if you talk and try to explain they are stubborn. The system doesn’t work good at all , because there are huge differences when you lose and when you win , win is harder because that mean your getting better and better, but losing with a big difference , after all that effort that not even balance at all. For example win games with points like 3-2 or 2-1 what I want to show you is wining at little differences not losing at 3-0 and stuff like that.
PS : I am talking about solo Q , not premade team because there are big differences.
Yup this is key, just different people to defend the completely broken system, because they like THIER OWN RANK.
The system itself will still be terrible.
Too many ppl won’t be placed in high rank since the system only permits 2 % players to be gm .
If everyone improved in their skill their ranks will remain same
It would not remove bronze if bronze players retake the placements and perform at a bronze level they would still be bronze
You don’t place in bronze unless you intentionally throw all your placement games or you were bronze in a prior season you’d be at lowest silver which also points out another flaw it would make is far easier/cheaper to smurf and boost.
