Bronze Rank

(Verticules) #1

Is anyone Bronze Ranked? I have never seen it in-game. I almost feel there may be more Elite Players than Bronze Players.

Theres gotta be someone who just lowered his rank to the lowest, heck I am pretty sure atleast one guy is lead ranked

I’ve seen one, and there was no wonder why he was bronze.
He was pretty much like this:

I feel like the skill floor is way lower in an FPS like this (i think CS:GO is trash) than in other games like LOL, DOTA, Hearthstone ect. 99% of players can figure out how to shoot at other people decently well enough and press Q for abilities. If you can do that, you’re good enough for silver right now. There’s less weird mechanics like farming, character building and whatnot to worry about.

How you manage to be bronze level, I don’t even know. You have to be drunk 24/7 while playing, or completely trolling. When the system actually works well enough to distribute players, there should be plenty of bronze, but all you have to do at the moment is play 10 matches and not eat paint chips to get gold.

Sure a 3-dimensional games skill level is lower than the skill level of a 2-dimensional game.
And I don’t even wanna get to Hearthstone.
But let me ask you: Are you Gold if you say it’s so easy to get gold?

Your’e judging a skill ceiling/floor of a game based off whether its 2 or 3 dimensions…Going to assume that’s trolling. Notice how I said skill floor, that’s worth noting. Its easier learn the basics of a shooter than a MOBA. Its pretty straight forward.

I agree, card games are…dumb. People like them obviously, but the amount of skill involved is greatly diminished by “shit I’m not drawing the cards I need at this exact moment.” Thats just a bad system.

Yes, I’m gold 4. Not an impressive rank at the moment given how the system works. I can stand toe to toe with gold 1-2 players usually, but when we starting talking about cobalt players I tend to get whipped pretty hard.

But the way the system works I go back and forth between stomping on silvers and getting stomped by cobalt players. Theres no in between for me to actually practice decently.

Gold rank is impressive enough, really. I will carry most pug games but I’m “only” gold 5

I call bs, last I heard there wasn’t a single bronze player in the entire game, due to how broken ranks are it would effectively take you a 1000 consecutive losses to reach bronze 1, from silver 5.

I want to play competitive, but of course it doesn’t work.

Wanna place bets on how long it takes for me to get to bronze?

2 weeks straight of 30 games a day. Better go 0/30 every game and be as much of an issue for your team as possible.

Be sure to play Red-eye too, that way you can provide smoke cover for the enemy.
