Ranked ranking system is faulted. 600 matches and only bronze? Thats not how it is supposed to work. More you play alone, more faulty rank. I have witnessed Martha playing and he is definitely at least silver tier, even with high ping. There are worse golds and better bronze players.

Cobalt Officer. I’ll upload a picture next time I’m not using a potato computer, but that might be a month or so. That or @STARRYSOCK can testify for me. His unranked/silver/gold squad kicked my ass one day and that dropped me back down into Specialist. I never broke through Officer again… and my life has spiraled out of control since then. I’ve moved, changed jobs and now work ungodly hours, and my Dirty Bomb machine is collecting dust in storage. Starry ruined my life. :’(
I saw your post a while back where you’d gotten to cobalt something with no losses or only one loss at the beginning of the season while solo queuing. I believe you man.

Knowing you, you probably did both of those on purpose… 
I’ll let it slide… for now.

Lol, I wish it were that true but probably not. I think I started off like 25-5-3 or something. Might’ve went on about a 15 streak without a loss early on that got me in a good position, but I don’t remember. Sucks because this is the first season where I didn’t get to put in over 100-200 matches. I miss this place and DB. Yep, found that old thread we posted in. Great start and then went 1:1 or 2:1 for a long stretch there on out which is pretty routine in my experience with Cobalt and high gold solo queueing.
600 matches is crazy, though. Respect to you @martha_smith for being a trooper and sticking with it even if you weren’t gaining rank. Most people throw a fit and quit before 20 matches if they take a bad loss or don’t get the rank they want.

I don’t really consider myself an Elite player but oh well. I mainly played with 2 teammates of similiar skill and we matched vs. high golds/cobalts. We only queued in EU. I’d upload a screenshot of the Ranked cards I got but they’re so bad I don’t want anyone to see them.

My r9 290 pooped out on me so in now rolling an ATI HD 5450 with the ultimate potato config (5:4 @ 720×576) , so I get about 40 fps…so no screenshot from me. But in correctio to my prior post , I went 132 w and 134 l and have 6k in ranked points waiting for the next season to start.
So big props to the OP for rockin 600 matches.
I really hope they up the point totals this next season. It was nice to get a case after 6 every matches or so when I had a booster active.

The triple ranked points really made me play more. I think I probably played a fourth of my entire matches in the last 2 weeks.

Dang… that’s some luck. Every one of those cards are great except for the Stoker, and even THAT one isn’t BAD. Like… that Sparks is easily the best after 383, and if you’re a no383 hipster like me then it’s definitely the best. Also, how did you know to search “scorched” to show only those?

I hope they increase ranked points given or maybe even leave it tripled for the next season. Many players don’t have the time or dedication to get goodies when the most you can get is 50 from a win.

The triple points are why I played ranked again. I prefer regular stopwatch so I don’t have to actually try and just derp around.

The extremely low payout for ranked has been a sore spot for awhile now and many ppl have brought it up. Sadly the devs dont seem to have any plans on raising the payout to where its worth playing.

Hover above one of the cards and you’ll see it as their name.
