Gold
I'm not much for ranked but have been giving it a go since Christmas day and last night via my final game reached Gold. It amazes me how so many poor players make it to silver. I was 3 points from Go...
@EdwardDLuffyI agree that the ranked system does not function. I'm in Gold 1 and should be in platinum but have been solo queuing it.
I would estimate that 90% of the people I get matched with do not belong in Gold. I had a LL who had a gold back pack, she would NOT revive down teammates mid fight, despite me telling her reivive revive revive. No rev around so that was not the issue. More than half the rounds I'm in the people have a hard time breaking 100 damage.
I have had dozens of teammates drop to Trials. when I ask why.. "it's slow" yeah because the loot is horrendous and you're good as dead as soon as you leave (if you don't get killed by those who drop to sky hook first).
I want to see them completely eliminate placement points and replace it with a multiplier that multiplies your kills RP. with a maximum RP of 225 still. This will weed out all of the campers who avoid conflict to make it to positive RP. If you win a match with 0 kills you get 0 RP.
But it will fix ranked. At the very least I'd like to see them slash placement RP by about 70% and boost what you can get from kills/assists.
Silver is not hard at all, I solo queued through it in about 48 hours gaining something like 1300RP in a 24 hour period.
