Questions about Ranked.

(.LUST.) #1
  1. Does Score/Exp factor into where you place? ex. If I get the Score/Exp (and a say very good KDA) at the end of the entire match, does it benefit me at all for playing so well?
  2. Is ranked designed to just keep everyone at 50% win rates?
  3. Why are ~30hr players v. 500hr+ players common in ranked?
  4. There isn’t any matchmaking is there?
  5. Is anything going to be changed when Ranked is live?
  6. How much do you suffer if you surrender (since its counts as a loss)?
  7. What’s a “Draw” worth?
  8. Is pub v premade is possible? Or am I just lucky to be versing the same team (same 4 people) over and over?
(.LUST.) #2

Hope there are clear answers out there, because it seems to me that:

  1. No. Doing well does not matter at all.
  2. Yes.
  3. Because #2.
  4. Nope, because #2.
  5. Nothing really from what I’m hearing.
  6. It’s a loss, so either waste 15-30 min getting stomped at spawn or give the other team a free win and match them again.
  7. No effect. Sucks to have an even match, huh?
  8. Yes. Usually same 3 people though. There is no separate solo-queue and party-queue. Enjoy the unbalanced matches you inexperienced lot.

I got through my placements. I ended up 7-1-3 and that was placed at Silver 1. And it looks like I need 2 more wins to get Gold 5…I play the objective, support, and usually end with 2.0+KDA (over 40 kills). I play my heart out… and it just seems like as much of a grind as leveling up is.
