What rank constitutes someone as "good"?

[beastman442]

I just started playing yesterday, and I consider myself pretty good at games. I managed to get to platinum after a few hours with around a 10 winstreak, and I'm one win from next rank. I assume that is diamond? What would you guys consider a "good" rank, and what are the ranks beyond platinum?

I can confirm that diamond rank is mid because I am pretty bad and have been stuck in diamond for a while.

So...master?

edit: ranks beyond platinum are diamond, master, and grandmaster, and grandma or whatever idk

[Ann☆ﾟ.*･｡]

masters or above

I guess someone higher than you? Rank fluctuates and is always an infinite game that changes when there's new players and when they dry out. The longer you spend on any given activity, the higher your knowledge of the subject and thus your "skill" will reflect that if you were actively trying to improve - quality vs quantity.

If I'm Bronze this week, I will respect players higher than Bronze, if I'm Master I will feel the same way about Grandmasters and if I'm Grandma 50 then I will feel the same emotions to want to improve so I can beat the remaining players infront of me. If I'm number 1 and no one brings me a challenge, then I get bored and quit playing competitively and just have fun

That's weird logic to me. That kind of logic leads to "only rank 1 world is a good rank" at the logical extreme. I think an objective answer like diamond or master is the answer in most games, where you're above 80 or 90% of the player base, and I was just wondering where that line is in this game. Or an objective answer where high understanding of the game being played and high proficiency in it is required. There isn't a game where bronze is high ranked. If you're low bronze you don't think of high bronze as high ranked, you just understand that you're very low ranked.

Well, "good" is subjective anyway.

Common consensus on this topic is "everyone below me is bad at the game, everyone above me is either a cheater, a no-lifer or both"

That made me laugh



Yeah, skill or knowledge is accumulated overtime so that's what "good" mostly equates to, unless stupid or lazily just spamming whatever build.

I would say only the 2 last ranks are saying that youre good.
Currently stuck in diamond peak was 82.
Sometimes i just hit things with Sales and sometimes not.
Sometimes i easily kill people with the same loadouts and sometimes i just lose.

While I was doing my initial climb I couldn't tell any difference between bronze, silver, and gold. I would say high platinum is the lowest range where most people buy decent load outs.

Noticed that too, when starting out as a noob, I breezed through ranks until I got my first lost at high plat

Does anyone apart from the devs have stats on how many people are X rank? Since the PvP is asynchronous, it's not zerosum like other PvP games. I imagine there is a/are several resting points where people tend to collect.

With 30 hours played I've gotten to low diamond with both characters, is this good or just average? Hard for me to say. I watched Kripp play some and he fluctuates around mid diamond, while being an experienced player of this type of game.

ELO just seems so weird in this game. Haven't lost a single game, while experimenting all the way up Diamond. At Diamond the game became A LOT harder all of a sudden and Master is just very hard to even maintain, probably impossible unless you play the meta very hard. At master you need to be at around 9 wins 5 loses to literally just maintain your rank, thats's almost a 65% win rate while playing against, I would assume mostly other Diamond/Master players.

The system doesn't make much sense to me unless Diamond players are also regularly queueing into Bronze, Silver, Gold players, meaning ELO isn't actually used for matchmaking. Then the system makes more sense but from my experience this is not what's happening, the boards at diamond/master are almost always meta perfect, nothing I would see at low ranks.

Normally with a >50% win rate playing against equal rank opponents you should climb, but that's not happening here, which is why I believe so many people are stuck at Diamond. The expectations of the system are too high, I dom't think there is a Bell curve in rating but it's very much skewed to the right, with most people facing a barrier at diamond.

really ? ppl already discussing ranking in this autobattler, also you all know that the files on the comp can be editet in a very cheaty way, and prolly 50% of master area is doing that ♥♥♥♥ xD
