It shocks me that people don’t seem to understand the absolute inconsistency in lower ranks and feel the need to resort to fabulous explanations.
Like, I spent a lot of time in Widow death matches. I wasn’t great, but i was certainly better than a Bronze widow should be. But you can’t instalock Widow in a Bronze or Silver match and not be perceived as throwing so she’s really not a viable main to rank up. I wasn’t good enough to simply carry at Widow either, which I’m sure could have been coached but I was happy with Zen.
I used to swap from Zen to Soldier, Zarya, Widow, or Brig as needed, though I guess you can’t do that anymore (I’m on record as being against role queue, but it seems I lost that argument).
I just can’t understand why people need to come up with some convoluted, problematic description of the “matchmaker” to explain the issues, when all you need is to say that people are behaving like people. Inconsistent, moody, distracted, egotistical, and, often, angry.
I guess they’d have to acknowledge that they, too don’t play perfectly everytime.
It’s refreshing to see people acknowledge that SR movement happens, and that’s ok. There’s no such thing as an absolute measurement of skill. It’s simply impossible in this game.
Like, to any gold or below player is going to have a unique skill set which they may not have even learned how to exploit.
I don’t think these conspiracy theorists understand the proof burden they would need for their claim to be taken seriously. Like, Bronze players are inconsistent, sure, but that’s proof of what?
Lol, they’re gonna need to do better than that if they’re serious… which is honestly dubious, I’m open to the idea that I’ve been hard trolled… it would actually make more sense than the idea that someone who can write complete sentences would actually believe this drivel. Surely Zest and Hulk are just messing with me …
