Testing the new Ranked Matchmaking

Please allow this to serve as some sort of barometer for the current ranked matchmaking, with regards to performance and placement.

Yesterday I was D4 in ranked.

Upon loading the new Ranked system for S17, I intentionally lost every placement game, with 0 kills and 0 damage. 

Doing so left me in Bronze III. 

I will continue to test matchmaking in pubs and ranked and will share my results here on the forums. 

*I do NOT condone smurfing or throwing matches for easier lobbies. I am simply committed to filling in the gaps of knowledge regarding the matchmaking systems used. I am a firm believer that the more a community knows, the better.

    This what I mean with the ambiguity of it all.

    I got, if I remember correctly 1265 LP for my win with 1 kill and two assists. My teamates had 3 kp each.

    @Asmodeus566Waht did you all expect, that respawn all of a sudden is the beacon of transparency ? Lets face it, it was rigged and its still rigged.
    i get the usual concrete boots as mates (10 time in a row, not a single one had decent amount of kills to his name, nor did thay match my KD) , they die off in 40-60 secs , and i have to rat myself to the points still rookie 3, while the heavens are full of purple and red divetrails ... gimme a break.
    4 years of rigged matchmaking, a fool to believe they suddenly changed a thing ... i guess it had a reason why nearly all of the core developers who initially worked on Apex are all gone ... they didnt want to be affiliated with the crap the company had in mind with their game.

    @Asmodeus566Win with 4 Kills 1 assist equals 328 Points ... anyone getting less ? more than rigged i would say.
    the same rigged bullcrap as they did with ranked arenas, they set up certain players to fail so other can get the easy climb. and if they still win , just give them breadcrumbs ... 

    meanwhile the pros get the points blown up their behinds for nothing :

    Samy Duc, im waiting for that explanation... it will be a the laugh of the year if not the decade (debunked in the matter of hours by our infamous dataminers) !
    Competitive Integrity ... seems like its a fluid expression, means something completely different to some of us than written in respawns dictionary

    @Asmodeus566 This was meant to happen. This MMR with placement matches is somehow similar to what Paladins uses and from my experience with it, it is as inconsistent as any other system.

    Now you have people wondering why someone with an obvious worst performance is being rewarded a better rank than people with better performance. Dunno why people thought this was going to be an improvemet

    Frankly, I’m frustrated with the lack of transparency on this topic, they gave us an outline that did not actually detail what was going to happen. Now we see deliberate bias towards the better / streamer players. Hidden mm should not form a bias towards better players, it should give a set amount of points as was assumed by the community. From my pov, this ranked system is absolute, utter garbage so far.

    @BigMacAttack8u just wait, they will release another phony blogpost to try to explain why its not biased (or in my words plain and simple : rigged) and yet again the dataminers will prove it wrong ...
