I’m annoyed at my performance
<rant> //Disclaimer: The following is the externalized monologue of a mirage main. So, S8 starts out with a bang, eh? At least, that’s what I thought. By the end of my first 36 matches I was ro...

@CrazyEyedOldManWhat was your season 7 KD? Lifetime doesn't really show the true number after 2 years and thousands of games.
Also at what level did you start season 8? If it was silver you probably wrecked people that arent very good.
Final season 7: 1.31
Final ranked S7: 1.81
Highest rank S7: Plat 4 (Stopped since friend didn’t want to play anymore & randoms sucked)
Highest lifetime rank: Diamond 4
In this season, I’ve played 72ish matches thus far of ranked. I started silver, but was out in under 8 matches.
My performance stats are kinda holding with last season, in which I mostly played in mid-play, and the season before that in which I was diamond.
I’m mostly frustrated at the lack of contribution I see from teammates. It’s about 12 matches before I get 1 teammate that’s decent, and around 26 before I get a pair with skill. (By decent I mean at least one kill).
I keep getting in encounters in which I can break all three shields and down 1-2, but my teammates in the same building can’t do anything. We end up dead, and the report gives me around 5-6x their damage, minimum.
I’ve had three matches, all of which occurred in those 8 to get out of silver, where my randoms matches anywhere near me.
I’d play with friends, but my only one who still plays, and I quote, calls my lobbies “suicide matches”. We end up around the same final ranks, give it take a rank my favor, but he hates playing with me since he says the lobbies are much harder.
I’m just lost as to how to progress, aside from switching legends off Mirage.
I can’t play with my friend since pubs and ranked are both way to lethal for him, and I can’t go anywhere with randoms. It just kinda feels like I’m beached.
- @CrazyEyedOldMan My S7 k/d is also 1.32.
Beginning of S8 it was 1.6, then slowly averaged out to 1.4. So, I am back at my skill level with a lil improvement? Why are you surprised? 36 games is too low statistically to take the k/d into consideration. You are back where you belong like me. 🙂 - @CrazyEyedOldMan I should have asked but what was your win rate before things started to drop? You have a good KD and have been to diamond. If your win rate was high the sbmm is going to give you not so good players in lobby's with some really good players.
This will especially make pubs harder than ranked. I play with a friend daily and we sometimes play ranked just to get away from the preds and masters. I dont have a KD like yours but my win rate is normally close to 10% so I get pretty bad teammates most of the time. It is a combination of all that.
