When you get terrible players who use hanzo to snipe for every mode it is as good as a 5 v 6 match.People who are still complaining about being grouped with horrible players in ranked might wanna start getting used to the fact that they aren't as good as they think they are.
Got ranked 58,
8 wins
2 loses
In placement.
Well, I was honestly expecting higher. That's a shame.
Edit: This was playing solo, no party
What percentage of players do you think you are better than?

I feel like I should be in the top 5-10% at least.
Or matchmaking is not working nearly as as good as you think it is.

its just math. however many of your 10 placement games you win + 50 = starting rank
really tho wouldnt surprise me if that was legit the extent of blizzards calculations

Interestingly enough, it seems that the quality of all players, even those in Quick Play, has generally gone up since the update. The player base feels more educated as a whole...
...Or maybe it's just me?
Nope, I've won only 7 games and I'm rank 61its just math. however many of your 10 placement games you win + 50 = starting rank

Then it worked, your top 11% which is pretty close.
Whatever makes you feel better.
I got stomped in my placements when I was in a large group, and kicked ass in duo queuing. Fighting really coordinated teams was rough.
Ended up 2 and 8 in placements with Rank 38. Not bad. About what I expected. I look forward to ranking up from here.
I don't understand my ranking. I won 8 and lost 2 and got a 54.

what did you expect it to be?
Absolutely true. Everyone I played with in competitive think they're amazing and get angry at their team when in reality they were as average as the rest of us.People who are still complaining about being grouped with horrible players in ranked might wanna start getting used to the fact that they aren't as good as they think they are.
Surprised at some of the rankings with players going 8-2 etc.
I went 5-5 on PC and got rank 50
I went 6-4 and got ranked 44...

Just facts, matchmaking has been crappy since release.
Unless you believe that somehow being paired up with people that have no concept of team or playing the objective is somehow matchmaking working well. Or matching those shitty teams with teams that curb stomp them. I mean, it's literally all the proof you need. If it was working properly, that wouldn't happen and matches would be equilibrated.
Maybe it has something to do with personal performances ? I don't know how this whole thing work, I'm just guessing
Definitely personal performance, I also had 6-4 and got 53. And when you win/lose a competitive game after that the bar you win/lose by DOES change, and it has to be based on some sort of performance.

First off nothing you said is a fact. Second, I don't think you understand how competitive games work. Matches will never be "equilibrated" because that's not how this stuff works. The Braves curbstomped the Marlins 9-1 does that mean they are the far superior team? Blowouts happen all the time in competitive gaming. Further, anything you claim is happening to you is happening to everyone else, unless you think the game is out to get you.
And again, if you're being matched with scrubs it's because you're probably not very good and you'd be better served working on your own game than complaining about your teammates. People who deserve higher rank are either already there or working their way up, if you aren't one of those people you're right where you belong or you haven't played enough to let the system do its job.
I get it, no one likes finding out they aren't as good as they thought they are, but you guys can't hide behind the shitty teammates excuse anymore.
that's a lot of words and I hear you, but in the end they just amount to excuses that will slow your own improvement. If you're in the 35-40 range and are having a hard time improving, there are a lot of things you need to get better at. If there's one thing I know after playing MOBAS competitively for 5 years, it's that most people aren't as good as they think they are. You're not as good as you think you are either. You're not a 60 rank player trapped in the stupid penitentiary of 30 rank players and unable to escape or convince the warden to let you out for good behavior. You're a 30-something player that will get better over time if (s)he puts the work in to get good.
Keep your eyes on the prize and man up. Moonmoon (the popular streamer that plays with popular streamer Seagull a lot) lost 9 ranks today and he didn't blame anyone along the way. Learn the lesson.

I thought placement matches with friends would give me an advantage. I was wrong. Not only are they all terrible, 2 out of my 4 first games I got defaulted losses because people in my stack randomly DC'd and/or crashed.
Also it's real nice when your stack of people with in game levels ranging from 30-60 get matched up with a stack of players that are level 130-150. At least it was a fast loss.
I haven't been paying attention closely. Is this patch out on PS4 yet?
The matchmaking in competetive completly sucks. How is it possible that i get teamed up again and again with idiots that are lvl 60+ that dont know how to play this game?
