Very few people are actually getting placed +3000. It seems like most of the ones who are finished last season well over 65.
I actually had no perspective on where people were getting placed, but yah, I guess that makes sense.
That's not how any of this works.
It's a soft reset for a reason. They take your previous season's rank as a way to see how you match up this season's placement but they've been doing some tinkering at the backend on how to calculate rank (which people were crying about on ptr because it does some pretty drastic changes mid ptr even though it's fucking ptr).
Also you know that 5 isn't that big of a difference, and that having leavers is unfortunate but they can't soften too much because then it'll be easily abused. If you truly are 5 levels above where you are you will rise, no need to be so dramatic about it.
Yah, I had just managed to avoid leavers for a while now, and having one on my team that wasn't just a disconnect/didn't come back was disheartening, especially when it was my last placement match and I felt a lot was on the line.
But yah, I placed 34 last season and climbed to 60, so I know you'll adjust over time..just frustrating to be placed lower than where you think you belong. But it's fair.
It's alright. I had a leaver as well. But getting to Diamond doesn't seem so hard. Had 4 straight wins tonight and already accumulated a lot of SR. I might reach Diamond really soon if I can keep playing with a few Gaffers and win without randoms fucking it up.
Thanks bud. Imma keep on keeping on.
Maybe some of the matches you lost were to people with much lower skill rating?
I mean, its only 5 levels. If you were good enough to climb before you'll be able to do it again. I'd rather get placed a bit below my average than way above it (Making it much harder to gain as opposed to lose).
I placed a bit below my previous placement as well, but I know I'll easily end up at that rank again
I guess that's possible. And your perspective on getting placed below rather than above makes sense. We'll see how the season plays out
You realize 2700 is probably like top 5,000?
I dunno, I know it's not accurate but MasterOverwatch places 2750-2999 as top 26% of players.
Right, will do!
Anyways, I overreacted overall so sorry for the bitchiness guys. Back at it today.
