[Triple pts. Ranked MATH!] (TLDR - It's a great time to play ranked overall!)


(Xenithos) #1

With triple the rewards, and enough players that my queue times are consistently in the 2-5 minute point for a Gold 3~ish area player, Ranked feels great. I’ve already played 2 matches and am going to play my third, will post results of tonight’s games later, but Ranked so far has been balanced, great, and not stomps in either game I’ve been in.

PROS and CONS-

! PROS:
! * Triple Ranked Points with booster this equates to 450% more points!
! * No Phantom, Hunter, or Guardian Bullcrap
! * Faster queue times in Ranked than we’ve had in a while
! * Lots of Newbies
!
! CONS:
! * Ranked settings and crappy collision or crappy teamwork sucks balls
! * US WEST SERVERS ARE STUPID
! * Sometimes you get idiots, it’s unavoidable
! * Loonngg queue times still if queueing with like 3+ people.

So with that in mind, I also wanna give some math to ranked boosters. Anyone seeing the update already knows it, but you will get triple the points from a ranked match Until March 28 when season 4 is retired. All ranked booster’s also affect the new end amount of points (which would work going either direction but whatever Splash damage).
You’ve probably seen this post before:

Now let’s do some further math based on how BAD you are for those interested. WITH and WITHOUT boosters:

There ya go guys!

  • US WEST SERVERS ARE STUPID

you reckon?

Try EU West Players on Stockholm; the amount of non-healing/reviving medics and fire support failing to supply ammo will redefine your definition of STUPID.

I can edit my post if you’d like me to add that :stuck_out_tongue:

Time to use that free ranled booster we got a few weeks back.

The only good time to play ranked was during Pre-Season. End of discussion

Yeah, and it was actually called ranked back then wasn’t it… rofl. Was it ranked or competitive now or then?


#7

It was called competitive back then.

The famous Pre-Season, when cheaters “one”-shot your complete spawnwave? But, ok, probably better than the “balance” for people solo-queing nowadays :wink: .

No amount of points is worth suffering through a 5v5 snorefest
