That’s cool, we can all have disagreements here.
@o_GH0UL_o, can you find the response Ryan made to you regarding how the rank system isn’t where it needs to be. Having trouble finding it and I was going to quote that as a response to both @Fragmented_Wolf and @iAntique for transparency. Having trouble finding it since there are over a thousands responses in that thread.
It’s going to be funny seeing how ppl will respond if TC replaces eliminations with kills on the scoreboard.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll see the same reaction like we have seen with the Cap/break change.
already asked Ryan in his thread and he said he would love to change Elims to K/D at some time in the future.
it would honestly help players understand how well they’re doing.
Here’s a quote from after the rank reset concerning low tier versus high tiered players. He specifically stated that an issue needs to be fixed and will be during season 2. Doesn’t pertain specifically to point allocation however, it does show that the system as a whole needs more tuning/fixing even today.
There are a few more instances where he admits that the ranking system isn’t where it needs to be for different reasons, which is why I believe that this ranking system isn’t ready to be put into the game. Personally, I think they should’ve just implemented a more simple system to begin with, and made a sort of beta playlist to test out their more complex system.
Not to mention hellacious 40 second games of guardian… like seriously, nobody is performing to the ■■■■■■■■ made up standards if the leader dies in 40 seconds. Not even the “good” players who win that match, they get pennies on the dollar for a blowout game, and losers get tossed down ranks for being “bad”. Nobody factors in apparently that the lower your rank the poorer the games. And your stats don’t get recalibrated if you’re losing a lot. They still expect you to play like a 10 even if you’re at a 3 all day long. At least recalibrating would stop you from falling so far. P.S. I’m in no less than the top 35% in all 6 specific stats in guardian, and I’m hard stick silver 2. I should at least be high gold or even low onyx. AndI was master tier before the reset. I’m not saying I’m amazing, but no way I should be getting matched with bronzies 4 games in a row and then diamonds the next 3. It’s a completely different caliber of play and coordination.
Thought you might like this story from two games tonight.
I started 5% silver three. Join a pick up game with 4 others. Have a horrible first round( i went negative). Ended up leaving the party because one dude was nothing but insulting everyone. Turn it around amd win the next two. Go from bottom of the group to third. Any longer and i was gonna hit the top. This game bounces me to gold 1. I forget what %
I go find another pug and this is lower in skills. We lose the first one. I have some trash randoms. At the end of the first round one kid has 6 eliminations. 6…its on foundation and he had 6. Anyways they lose a player and we win the next two. I bounce up to gold 2 off of 400 points.
My caps didnt really change… because it doesnt have to anymore. Caps dont count as much. My aggressive playing went up and that helped. But overall I’m still at a loss with things.
Well yeah that’s how easy you can go up when you have decent matches as I said everyone is literally so close in points so it’s extremely easy to drop majorly or advance so.
Don’t get me wrong though losing alot of points for one match is definitely not justified.
Anyway, yeah see I played a lot yesterday and went from silver 3 to onyx 2 so it can be done.
As I said the only problem I have with the system is how much points you can sometimes lose. It’s not a perfect system by no means but I still stand by it not being completely broken.
Yeah, it’s not completely broken, but it doesn’t take into account quitters and with the huge amount of quitters, it’s a glaring weakness in the system. A big one.
No i completely agree but I don’t see TC doing anything about that anytime soon tbh due to the amount of problems they still have to work on.
Just making the point to people that they can’t blame the entire system for their low placement is all.
They already did something about it previously. It kinda worked before the ranking “fix” went out, then it stopped working again.
Well in my opinion it’s not broken entirely again if that’s the case then everyone would be having problems.
Each to their own but that’s just me I guess.
Do agree it is somewhat broken but not entirely.
I was just talking about the system not factoring in quitters, which no longer works, but did work to a degree prior to the latest reset and fix.
Wasn’t talking about the system as a whole.
I know I’m just saying that’s what most people have been saying. That’s the point I’ve been continuously making to people that are blaming the entire thing.
The quitter problem needs to be sorted asap. It’s unfair losing points because of them but apart from that I think the system is okay atm.
Yes, but that had nothing to do with my point. Why do you feel the need to keep repeating that you think it’s fine?
We’re all well aware of people’s grievances with the system.
I’ve already made my thoughts known in this thread, so I’ll refrain from repeating myself
I’ll repeat it as much as I want just like the ones complaining about it. I’m entitled to repeat it, so don’t be telling me not to 
Then I commented on the quitter point you brought up with my second reply so there wasn’t a need for you to reply saying I don’t need to keep repeating.
People have kept repeating their points so I simply am doing the same.
I wasn’t telling you what to do, just questioning the point of it.
People are showing different results, different perspectives. Parroting on repeating the same paragraphs over and over isn’t contributing to the discussion.
All I’m saying is to me personally your point implied that I need to stop repeating my point so apologies for misinterpreting.
I do understand that like and I’ve said each to their own opinion.
Oh that second game was a nightmare. I had two randoms and the people I picked up were…well…my 8 year old son plays better.
Had the other team not lost a player we would have lost.
I’ve had games where we get slammed. Like 180 to 14 and that’s where you lose a lot of points. Even if you dont go for the hill and hide.
Caps dont matter as much anymore for points. Which I like.
Hit onyx finally
