I get it, it’s just a role queue beta, but that does mean we need to report bugs so when the final version comes out, it’s as good as it can be. With that out of the way, onto the post!
I am a high gold/low plat flex player on console and in the last two days I did my placements for my two preferred roles, tank and support. I played alright in my support games, nothing too good, just my average, and I got placed low plat. I was expecting gold because it was on the mid to lower end of my usual gameplay standard.
Then I did my tank placements. I played like Harbleu. I consistently had gold elims and damage (I know medals mean nothing) on zarya, the character I played the majority of the matches on and the other tanks I played were on a similar level. I was getting graviton faster than our Rein was getting shatter. I was out dps’ing higher damage characters like reaper, junkrat and doomfist. I played like my hands were on fire. They were probably the best games I played on Zarya in my entire life.
I got placed 2300. I don’t have screen shots, now I’m wishing I took a few. I’m not super mad about not being placed very high, I just don’t want this issue to go to live. I’ve talked to some friends about this and they said similar things. I think overall role queue is great aside from this one issue.
Please tell me if you’ve experienced similar things in your placements.
