Both Octane and Seer are complete randoms. Why are they even allowed to be in a gold lobby with their kind of ranks? To me, if you're diamond or above in a gold or below lobby, you're smurphing. If you derank to rookie IV and have achieved diamond or above, you're also smurphing. This sort of thing should thus not be allowed. It says both were "diamond" players in season 14, why on earth were they allowed to derank down into gold?
@Midnight9746they derank TWICE every season with no maximum derank... imagine! So a diamond 4 split 1 season 14 if he doesnt play split 2 will start season 15 split 1 as silver 4 ; SILVER 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This makes sense! The problem in rank is US grinding too much!!! Let's add hard demotions!! And 1 point per kp.
And if he doesnt play split 1 season 15 then he will start season 15 split 2 as Bronze 4!!!
- @Palette24carats It's totally insane and yeah, I've heard about the bugged Rookie thing yesterday, however I'm still seeing players after the patch with Rookie IV as their last season rank, so I don't know what to really believe, and some players who's stats I've looked up on a stat tracker also shows they were in the Rookie rank. Although stat trackers can only gather so much data due to a limited API.
At the very least, there's still high ranked players shown via their rank badges, so that's the issue now.Assuming the rank icon is now "fixed", both my teammates are diamonds in a silver/gold lobby. If they were plat, that would be one thing. Since they're both much higher than this lobby, it tells me that SBMM still doesn't exist.
Furthermore, this was the enemy team that killed us, a masters Wraith and Pathfinder, and the Horizon isn't shown because they have no badges or stat trackers shown, and the "last rank" only said Rookie IV like how it does for Wraith and Pathfinder.
Respawn has killed ranked when they changed it for season 13 and they might as well remove the gamemode if they really don't want to fix the matchmaking.@Midnight9746Your diamonds derank by 12 tiers... just like I said in my previous post they didnt play for a split and ended up Gold 4. This could be either because they didnt play or it's their rank smurf that they didnt play for 2 splits with. This rank doesnt make any sense and no matter what we say they don't even listen.
