After grinding to Diamond this season...

...it hasn't felt worth it. I'm not sure why I did it other than to say I did, given that Masters last season was a gimme. Seriously I doubt I'll get to Masters in the few days left. Predominantly...

@KelRieverI was gonna make my own post about Ranked, but I'll simply agree & add my own experiences.

Between my work schedule, the difficulty of Ranked this season, & the fact that 2042 has been more appealing, Ranked has been super tough to grind. I've been stuck in Silver for the past month or so. On avg TMs are slightly better than the past, but my competition also seems to be worse. And with kills/assts meaning so little it's almost pointless to hot drop or engage early even tho in my lobbies people still do so.

Some games I can get to top 10 by ring 2 or 3 & other games there's still more than 10 at R3!

And if we fight & win against the 1st team early I usually die before top 10. But if we wait & engage after top 10, I can usually make it to top 5. But even if you win w/ at least 3 kills/assts, you're not getting a bunch of points like in previous seasons.

I'm starting to ask myself if the OG system was really that bad cuz ever since they've started messing with the system, seems like things are just getting worse. I'll be lucky to make it to Gold, but plat is def out the window. I have a Master on my friend's list who hasn't even reached Diamond! So this season is def an issue when a legit Master can't even get back there!

I think one of the problems is whether you are bronze, silver, gold, plat...it doesn't matter rank, it still takes forever in points to climb. You can have an extraordinary game, but unless you place 1st-4th, your point growth is going to be slow. Even if you are 1st or 2nd, every tier will take about 9-10 of those to move up.

When you hit Diamond, fyi, you are assessed an additional -25 points to climb. So if you come in 14th or lower, you get -75 points and sure, then add a few kills if you got them. I can't even try for Masters, it would be beyond the scope I have time in life. I have, after all, a job.

@KelRiever Thats the thing. It's too grindy. Even if u win. I've been playing most the day with very little progress. Part of me wants to leave it at silver & just grind the BP & spend more time on 2042. Other part wants to at least get gold. I'm currently in S2.
