It’s definitely not worse, but it still needs work.
It’s not random when the search is based on rank period. Now it might out reach because of balancing issues when a certain rank count is not available to fill room. That’s the point! You can’t debunk it Lol Its funny you tried.
It should be pulling from "Anyone available " who is searching for same game mode play. Rank should only represent true skill. Not be apart of match making.
Just my opinion anyway. Now I have to play MLG play with 4 randoms on my team with no mics. Against 5 Master rank sweeties who are communicating strategy just because I’m a good solo player I have to play those matches every time I play. Thats not random! Not fun either!
At this point I fully expect zero points in a 3-2 victory regardless of who is favoured, I’m sure you understand that struggle as a fellow Guardian player. But to be honest this one really hurt! It’s pretty rare to see someone get 5,000 score in a game, but 7000?!? Killed leader three times, survived twice, MVP… and nothing but goose eggs for my reward.
With the most recent update, yeah, I try not to worry about my tier anymore. Winning is now more important than individual performance and that’s pretty tough for someone who runs solo 95% of the time.

Exactly why I wont allow myself to be frustrated by ranking any longer, i am solo 100% of the time, and matches like that, from a ranking standpoint, makes the blood burn. Especially with the new update,…86%!
What’s funny is your use of the word “period” when you have zero argument.
What about you try to explain me this :
or this :
For your information, the search is based on “Total Team Skill” points which is totally different.
Plus, there is no such thing as “true skill”, especially when solo queuing since you are supposed to carry potatoes against stacks.
True skill can exist when you are playing against and with players of the same level.
Only this way you can know if you performed or not.
That’s the reason why in every professional sport you got divisions and categories.
Let’s take soccer as an example to show you how dumb your statement is : In FA Cup when a Premiere League team beats a National League One, it’s hard to tell if just one of the team performed, both or neither.
In Fifa World Cup, when Argentine loses, it’s hard to tell if Messi performed or not as most of his team mates don’t play on the same level.
But if you look at a whole season, when teams confront themselves several times in the same division, you can tell if they performed or not, and the stats reflects the efficiency of the players in thier respective teams.
If you want to be an arrogant nitpicker you can tell i’ts not literraly random.
But as long as the system works the way it does, except for the 0,1% top players and the 10% really bad players, the sytem is not really accurate and it doesn’t reflect “true skill” at all.
I don’t get what I’m saying that you struggle to understand.
It’s basic logic though. “Period”.

I thought rounds weren’t supposed to count when you had quitters now, I’m still hemorrhaging points even though people are quitting at the beginning of the game.

The game doesnt recognize quitters until the round after they quit, unfortunately.

So weird, I had two people quit in round one, yeah we won the round, I was leader in that round so ha ha minus points. Then we subsequently lost the next three rounds, not doing too bad for a three-man team but at the end of the match It shows I lost -678pts.
Wow that is crazy but it showed losing all the points in round one? And what rank was this at?
No I only lost 10 points in round one everything else came in the next three rounds, I finished the match 9-4 with 2 revives.
Lol sounds like its not working again. Im totally surprised, not!

I just don’t know which way is up anymore .
Does placements against a Master and people around onyx/gold:Mk.
Does fairly well for what I was put against:Mk
Lowest Bronze Tier
Hold up
Huh?
The ranking system again just plain confuses me.
I’ve played exactly 1 game of ranked since the change, for gears MM it was really good, one outlier ping at 60 odd, the rest 10-40, GG MM (for once).
Even all around the same tier (+or- 1) us 50,000 odd them 52,000 odd.
Smacked the team failry easily, got mvp both rounds, scored the larger part of my points in the 1st round, double the caps in the 2nd, 1 more elim (but going on points more assists vs kills).
Somewhere in the 2nd round they had a guy quit.
Ya know GG.
Then I get to the rank points, 770 points for the 2nd round, where bar the caps I slacked off a bit.
That 1st round though? 1 point,
1 bloody point for the round where I did the most work had the most kills, biggest point lead, etc etc.
I was also easily the lowest rank on the team unless we picked up some onyx/diamond somehow, and even then I beat that ringer.
I don’t play enough to care too much about my rank, in the past one big loss set me back weeks worth of grind, but this just made me roll my eyes, shake my head, and think of threads like these
Um No.
And the team score algorithm is based on Rank! Duh!
Ranking system is terrible. This game it’s too easy to rank up. Should make it more difficult
I was swarm this match and a heavy underdog as you can see. I was 2 or 3 on my team with 40 some eliminations not my worst but not my best. If it’s so heavy on winning as a team why do I get nothing for this. Guarantee next match I go into someone on my team will quit and I’ll lose a couple hundred pts from maybe the first rd before they quit and had less than 1000 pts.
Man dont even get me started on this BULLSHYT
