So far all the changes coming in season 17 sound amazing and sound like its going to change the game a lot. Not sure if it would be for the better or for the worse though. We'll just have to wait and...

@Midnight9746 Placement matches are entirely dependent on how well your team does and has absolutely nothing to do with your own skill level. Just like Arenas.
I am not the best player but I have a decent KD and I am sitting here getting matched with people who have no idea how to play this game.
I land at carrier, two other teams drop with us, I am fighting one team by myself, one of my teammate gets downed fighting the other team, the second teammate comes to help me and gets downed, I finish killing my team, phase out to regroup, get sniped for 109 by the other team that was apparently still there.
Another duo decides to hot drop gardens, Octane lands solo, immediately dies, his buddy rushes over to help, immediately dies, I down two and crack the third and get killed by a third party.
Then in another game I am holding the bridge to solar array against a full team who has Storm at their back, I knock one, my teammate is respawning our third, I hold the bridge long enough for him to loot up because teammate is Loba, the other team rushes and my two teammates are still looting, and then running away while I’m fighting this team, I literally crack all of them, and my teammates end up getting shot in the back and dying because they didn’t just turn around and shoot.
So whatever this new matchmaking thing was supposed to fix, it didn’t. At least not for me. I am still getting the same low level, baby badges, can’t shoot straight to literally save their lives people I was getting before.
And I’m still going against 3-stacks that you know are in the Discord chat comming it up like they are Navy Seals in Iraq.

- @katXwolphe This makes me want to skip rank this season. I probably won't, but yikes.
@katXwolpheNo people just have the wrong expectations from the placement matches…
but this is respawns fault since they used to hand ranks out almost for free
Arena was not team dependent btwI played only two ranked games and I had a similar experience to the same things. I’m not a dive trail player but one of my teammates obviously was and the other was the complete opposite(no skin and no badges). The good player was an octane who watched us get taken out before he started to move during the match. He then proceeded to run a +10 kill game.
The second placement match threw me into a sweat fest because the Octane in the previous match picked our banners up and carried us around forever. I should have just taken the abandon penalty because the player had no intention of picking us up.I’ll definitely wait until the sweats sort themselves out in the new rank system and throw my placement matches as a start. No need in getting my real rank while the streamers throw their placement to run 4k badges. I’m not sure why they didn’t use the last 10 ranked games from last season? I guess they wanted to give streamers another smurfing opportunity?
Been playing pubs to get used to the new legend, and all I'm seeing is the old matchmaking system with people acting like bots and seeing cheaters on level 50-75 accounts. I did see a few level 3-19 accounts, but there wasn't as much of them.
Although compared to last season where it was feeling like smurphs and cheaters were ruining the matchmaking, it just feels like bot accounts are ruining it now with 5% of them being cheaters.
