Gears 5 Main Ranking Thread

I dont care what has to be done. Its insane that I can lose almost 500 points in a 3v5 with being in 2nd place and the other team being favored to only getting 100 to 150 points in a 5v5 with the other team being favored and I am MVP by a long shot.

Its a running joke with @TC_Clown and a few others that we can start the day at a Gold 1 and play 5 matches. Win the first 4 and I make it up to Onyx 1/2 then lose the last match and be brought back to Gold 1. Its literally a joke at this point

First things first. They should drop the tier system completely. Distribute points based on true player skill and points earned no matter win or loss.,

Then install random match making. That will eliminate match making waiting times. And will find a player fast so it won’t quit a whole matchmaking room just because 1 player quit.

Last show the ranking next to player tags. Whats the point of rank play if other players can’t see the rank you earned. Plus if I get owned by the 50th best player in the world, it makes me feel less worse . Because hey, he was the 50th best player in the world lol

You might see sweaty matches. But hey. This is gears! Your not gonna get away from it! Why not inbrace true random matchmaking!

I went from Silver 1 to Gold 2 since the reset, think I should play the lottery?

Dont worry one loss and you will be silver 1.

Crazy that my losses have been surprisingly merciful in Gold compared to Silver.
It’s Sweat City but at least it’s not the sludge that is Silver 3: and ugly mix of clan squads, quitters, and feeding tube nubcakes.

I’m top 10% diamond 1 in TDM and this is what I get paired up with, lost 118 pts on the match even though I was runner up MVP. I’ve noticed it a lot recently. Gears%205%2011_29_2019%2011_49_18%20AM%20(2)

Look at the difference of the teams that @Minnesota posted . Yet @N0DEZER0 insists that their system makes ā€œfairā€ matches.

This screenshot sums up everything wrong with matchmaking at present.

hahah, this reminds me of some screen shots I sent to friends from GoW4, with a caption which said ā€œit would have helped if even ONE of my team mates went positive.ā€

sad…

Skill points based matching is working great, apparently… so they said…

i have completely, 100% stopped playing with randoms, after I lost 3000 points in 3 games… GoW4 Coop is more enjoyable than ranked with randoms in G5, for me…

ohhh, I’m sure the explanation is something there, in Ryan’s podcast…

Ooouu how I feel you. Diamond 2 top 40% just become it. But before was diamond 1 never NEVER played games against or with same rank or at least somewhere near to diamond.
All the time unranked, bronze, silver and gold players.
Points always +/-30 no matter win , lose, mvp or top 3 of the match.
It took me ~30 or more games to rank up. It’s like I understand everything but how can I know how good I’m if I always play with lower ranks. And last one if you are best player of the match , you are 2 times better the others in lobby how can you lose a points? According to TC it means that you could play even better then that because of "individual performance "
Wow that’s it from my side.(my ā– ā– ā–  still burning)

I think if matchmaking wasn’t so wide like diamond 1 playing with unranked person but

  1. diamond 1 playing with - onyx 2 till diamond 3
    Or
  2. masters playing with - diamond 1 till masters
    It would be match easier to track rank then it right now. Then you have suprises in every match.
    Just my thoughts.

How exactly do they determine the total skill of a team, and thus who is favored? I’ve just been making casual observations today and it seems like it’s probably a sum of the skill of each player? If so this is a weird and IMO ineffective structure. Feels like the game tries to get teams of similar total skill but what’s actually happening is that each individual guys skill isn’t factored with the team they’re on so you’re getting players who don’t belong together in the same game.

For example…if everyone’s skill is 5, for a total of 25, that’s fine. That team makes sense. Even if it’s like 7, 5, 5, 5, 3 that’s not awful. But a team that has a total skill of 25 can ALSO be made up of like 12, 7, 2, 2, 2, which is nowhere near the same thing. I know those aren’t real numbers, that’s just an easy math example. Anyway, I don’t know how else to account for the fact that there’s always that one guy who goes completely nuts and puts up 14k while the rest of his team puts up between 8000 and 6000, meanwhile on each team there’s another poor soul who puts up like 3500 because they in one way belong in that game. I just don’t get it.

Jesus tap dancing Christ I wish they would stop taking every question that involves the word ā€œrankā€ and moving it to the ā€œmain ranking threadā€ that has 100+ replies already. Great way to kill the conversation.

If you want TC to read the feedback and see what people are saying it’s best to have it in one place.

I love playing a game of 5v1 everytime.

/s


Once again, teammates were in bronze/silver tier while the other team had much higher ranks

I had a few games tonight and was so disastrous. Bad teammates, opposite team playing like ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– . The many drop of tiers like I’m done with ranked until it’s fixed.

I’ll focus on going back to campaign and quick play but ā– ā– ā– ā–  ranked til they fix it.
