Rankings

(U.C.A.P) #1

For our rankings are they just based off ou win/loss rate or are there other factors as well? i’ve lost most of my games with someone leaving in the middle of the game and it being a 4v5 uphill fight and i feel its not fair for us to be ranked lower just because of other people leaving and trolling in a ranked game

As far as we are aware it’s base purely off of wins/losses. Yes, it’s an awful system and yes, it’s unfair to the players who actually are trying to be competitive and get better. But SD doesn’t seem to care so… have some skins.

Rankings don’t really matter anymore. Skilled players who go in solo get stuck in high silver to mid gold ranks the majority of the time as a single players skill can only carry up to a certain amount of noobs. Every body who has reached cobalt I believe queues in a stack the majority of the the time.

If you can’t get a team, don’t expect to reach the high ranks as its unlikely to happen. Just play for skins and the trinket.

This is true, but this season is a bit different. Thankfully, if you get on terrible teams every game (like I do), and you top score, you won’t lose much of your rank. It’s not as bad as last season anyways. I’m stuck at Silver Master because I keep getting on teams where I’m a one-man army. I lose 5 or 6 games in a row from the progress bar being a little less than half. However, I didn’t derank because I top scored each match (a couple were surrenders and others were just 30 minutes of hell).

I could be wrong of course. :stuck_out_tongue:

The rank of the enemy team supposedly plays a factor as well apparently, though it seems extremely minimal.
