This is Just Disrespectful

The amount you get for kills is ridiculous. It was higher at the beginning of the season!

I can't believe anyone still plays ranked after they made the changes they made. What's the point? You play against your skill level no matter your rank, so it's just who grinds more.

@Twizted3k_tv This is an interesting take on it. Maybe the reason I am ranking so low is I just don't play ranked enough. You are right though, I don't see a point in it either.

  Yeah if you don't play ranked, they de-rank you every split. Used to be that would mean lower skill lobbies and then you rank back up to your skill rank. Now you get whatever EOMM or SBMM says you should get no matter your rank. It's completely pointless to rank up.

@Twizted3k_tv You absolutely do not play your skill level every game. I have had Masters, Preds 4K & 20 bombs in my lobbies as both tms & opponents. Unfortunately when they're on my team they usually are off on their game 🙄. I've also had people aren't even level 200. This matchmaking is all over the place. I know someone who's made Master nearly every season that is having trouble getting back there cuz of the changes they've made.

  My silver lobbies are chock full of 20 bomb Master and Pred triple stacks. This was unheard of before the change. A silver lobby was a silver lobby, higher ranks were kept out. I had a top 50 current Pred team in my Silver lobby last split. It's just dumb.
  And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't want to play against good competition. I'm saying, if the game thinks I belong against these people, how am I ever ranked Silver? It's the combo of deranking when you don't play and new matchmaking rules that makes ranked pointless for me. I've already made it to Master and don't grind enough for Pred, why would I now grind through Masters lobbies while labeled Silver? Who is this system benefiting?
