watch you k/d, your actual k/d not your elims/d
and it also goes round by round
say you go 85 elims and die 42 times in a three round game
you could have done badly in two rounds and one good round - you will lose overall rank
you can possibly only go positive in one of those rounds regardless of anything else
Day 16ish (Execution was released later after release),
Still stuck in Silver 2.
Sincerely,
A decade old and legendary skilled Gears player
haha same im stuck at silver 1 in execution , hahaha silver 1 , my rank hasn’t moved up more than 50ish % . I was onyx 1 and 2 in execution and escalation in gears 4
you can only carry a team so much , but im obvi better than ppl in silver 1
Yes it’s broken, but has potential.
This Game is broken. I don’t care anymore cuz the devs don’t care about their Community. They don’t listen to the player base. The Game is since 3 Weeks available but unplayable asf. Everything is wrong with that Game.
I won all 5 KOTH games with MVP in 4 and 165 elims in one of the games and I get silver 2…
In gears 4 the lowest rank I’ve ever received from ranked was gold 3
It’s broken as hell, but still not a single response from @TC_Octus on why, or when they’re going to fix it…
Silver is 1 big giant grind-fest… 
Been silver 2 since game started. Was high onyx 3 in gow4
But…I actually don’t care.
The game is so bad, garbage is even a compliment for it.
I already lost like 30 ranked matches and I’m still silver 2, I’m pretty sure I should be copper lmao
yeah i know, i tried to make sure i mentioned elems, actual kill and k/d
im not enjoying the elem thing, it adds to this confusion.
In 4 I placed in Onyx 2 every season, then I would play a little bit and would hit Onyx 3. One season I managed to get all the way to Diamond 3 and I was ecstatic, however, I would place myself in Onyx if anyone asked. In the Gears 5 tech test I once again placed in Onyx 2.
In Gears 5 (full release) I placed silver 2. After tons of play time I finally got to Silver 3. Then I realized how the ranking system works and was informed that it is possible to De-Rank from lack of playing. This made me lose interest in playing VS. I can’t just play all the time to ensure I don’t lose rank.
With all of that said, I love Gears so much! This franchise means a lot to me and has for a very long time. I loved the story for 5, but I just can’t play online anymore. Why put up with all of the Lancer camping just to be stuck at silver 3 and know that even if I make it out of Silver I won’t be able to maintain a decent rank ? I hope some changes come that get me back in it, but if not then I hope other people can find enjoyment where I am having trouble.
In KOTH it was. Got to Gold before flashbangs and quitters made me switch game types until they fix the problems.
I’ve since started playing Guardian, and I’m almost out after less than 10 quick matches.
i dont mind to have to rank up it just when games feel like onyx and dia games when im trying to get out of a rank or the games that you have that no one know what they are doing lol and you go all out and win but you get -200 points.like what happened .i did notice that this started happening since the last big update before that i was climbing up in rank fast never had any - games in wins my play style didnt change and the people i play vs are ether the same or lower then me and i have never have a bad game where i knew i was under kd. but what can i do but just play and see what they do or they just want everyone to go after kills and not worry about anything else cuz i been having that in my games also where they dont care to help you up help you at all and just get the kill and steal kills and walk by you and leave you there to chase some kill .
Yeah I’m playing KOTH. But switching might to a different game mode might be a good idea indeed! Going to try that tommorow night.
Couldn’t find a single match for Guardian in Gears 4…
yea the elims are ridiculous , I had an execution game first round there was 10 eliminations haha with 5 deaths
another match I threw a flashbang and got an elimination haha I started laghing like how could I get an elim from that, but the small damage from the flashbang is apparently enough for the elim hahah
basically just sneeze on the enemy get a kill,
The whole game is broken…fun sometimes?maybe until a 4 year old beats you. just play apex untill they fix this horrible game in agreat series!
agreed. is there an explanation anywhere as to why its not just kills/assists?
I wanna be on your team 
tons of kills, but tons of caps/breaks! That’s how you play KOTH!
