Ranked matchmaking useless
I should bot be teamed up with a bronze 4 when I'm in diamond. What's the point in playing ranked when you matchmaking takes a few mins and you get the same team as you would playing non ranked?
Forum Discussion
I just lost about 1K rating if not more in only 2 days because super super super bad players are somehow polluting the player pool in Platinum.
I had one today who streamed on twitch, and I caught this orbiter redhanded and made a post on the official reddit that it's seriously problematic that bad players cannot demote back down to Gold/Silver leagues.
I was Season 2 Diamond btw, and i'm being bogged down by players who are perpetually sitting at baseline Platinum IV, and never climb, yet keep queing anyway, ruining the rating of better players.
I made a post on reddit with the clip.

Bad players need to be kept out of Platinum.
He was intentionally hiding while I clapped a full squad completely solo, and once it was safe, he ran over to loot all the good stuff from the boxes while I healed up and revived an equally useless bloodhound.
What's not seen in the clip is that after it ends, he swaps his charge rifle for the 301 in the box and actually steals the purple magazine and gold barrel.
Meanwhile, I was using a flatline with no attachments at all, along with a G7 scout with a sniper stock, no barrel, no extended light.
@WingmannedbroYou will get a rank that separates good and bad players even if you de rank them and while I agree it's annoying with awful team mates, having that safety net was necessary to climb through diamond because, as you know, it's a whole different ball game.
Keep pushing till diamond then you'll have people that can at least do something right. Might not be in your favour but that's a seperate discussion. :P
Glad I haven't touched ranked this season as it sounds like it's having a fair few problems.
Being a bad player is one thing (bloodhound was) but at least he went in and was actually fighting.
But purposefully hiding like a rat, and then peeking out the building to see if it's safe once he hears you solo'd that whole squad only to steal all the good loot from the boxes to sabotage your game is something else.
That guy has been sitting at baseline Plat IV since forever (you can see in his VOD) and is just casually going around ruining people's games, and costing others rating, yet just keeps queing for no good reason.
At mid rank at least something can be expected from the players there.
This should legit be stuck in Bronze, and have his account flagged as not eligible to play ranked.
- @Wingmannedbro I figured people stopped playing ranked once they hit their ceiling! I mean, I play solo so I stopped at Plat IV which is what I was happy with considering I don;t have a lot of time to play and I don't have a squad to run with.
There really is no reason this guy should play ranked anymore.
