Rank split S15

How was your rank experience this first split? I made Diamond, and probably the worst rank experience I’ve had in a while, here’s why;

This map doesn’t flow very well for rank, it’s a rinse and repeat kinda map, every P.O.I. is contested, if you don’t win your 1v1’s, you’re basically back to the lobby off the drop.

When contested, not sure why teammates insist on breaking off and getting singled out, it’s kinda self-explanatory, stay with your squad.

The amount of insta deaths have been overwhelming, either a 2v3 off the get go, or a 1v3.

I have never babysat this much since playing rank, if SBMM isn’t tweaked as promised, not sure I’m going to bother next split.

I have found myself rat’ing often just to break even, again, this map isn’t very friendly come second to last circle, you’ll get instantly rolled with little to no cover. Finishing 5th, or 4th, as a solo rat has been a familiar recurrence.

Choke points, too many of them, and considering teammates won’t play beacons and rotate early, Catalyst’s ult, as well as Valk’s, has paid off.

Another remark, missing teammates, never had so many games starting off as a duo, or by myself.

Not sure if players are being boosted riding the assist wave, but Plat, as always, is the worst tier to be grinding rank, especially when you're matched with silver players, this also has happened way to often this rank split.

  • @Gabrielmojo26 Made Diamond as usual, almost got to Diamond III but just couldnt push all the way on my own. Not really bothered with trying anymore of that either, just going to grind ranked again to diamond and then leave until they add a serious update to the game
  • @Gabrielmojo26Made it to plat 4 but feels like underperforming since I improved my skills a lot in the past year where I would get to plat 3 in season 8, diamond 4 twice in season 12 and now can't even get where I would 2 years ago.
    I play mostly solo and been fighting platinum 3,2 and even 1 while being a random team of gold 1 players which made me fall back in rank because of that bad matchmaking.

  • @Gabrielmojo26 Gonna push for diamond this new split just because it’s Olympus. Kinda excited but we’ll see since it’s a very short split.
  • @Gabrielmojo26 I loved the length of the split & I was making great progress til I got over halfway through to Gold 1. I was thinking I could finally make Plat again in this new rules, but I started running into some of the issues you highlighted(mainly bad TMs/mm) & bleeding points. Plus things got busy this past week so my momentum slid to a halt. With 2 days left I knew there would be no way I could make Gold 1 let alone Plat unless I got carried by an elite team lol. So I'll just play Control & pubs til split & try again.
  • @Gabrielmojo26 Congrats on diamond. I haven't played one game of ranked this split. I may dabble in the low levels because the map is olympus next split. We will see.
