Game needs SR boost on wins

[Norrschein]

I've won 31/40 games and am still silver even though I get max points each win.

I don't take any joy in beating up people who are clearly new to shooters. The system needs to filter/group player tiers faster imo.

That doesn't sound right at all. Show an image of this record. Cause that should put you in Gold 2 or 3.

I did just realize that I included my first non ranked games to level 10. But still, it's way to slow. I'm on a big streak for hours.

Ya that's kind of hard to believe. That's a bit crazy.

If it's possible to inspect others profile I can add you ingame. In case you are curious I guess.

That screenshot is all modes, not just ranked.
I had 13 game ranked winstreak went silver 1 to 1 game from plat1.

Only takes 100 points to rank up, if you were streaking you'd be flying through ranks.

Sure, but I'm still doing great.

I suppose I get a loss every time before the streak bonus sets in? When does it start?

No you misunderstand what they are saying. So in rivals you earn more for a win than a loss. When first starting you will gain over 40 for a win and less than 20 for a loss. So even after winning 10 out of 20 games you will have climbed 2 sub ranks at least. To put it into perspective I got to gold in under 20 games. It really shouldn’t take you more than 18 wins if you are winning more than half your games and doing well in those games. So if you are winning over 75% you should easily do it in 20 games played (winning 15) if you are also getting streaks. Usually 3 wins and a loss is still a gain of over 100 RS at the start.

There is no streak bonus. To stop people from carrying their friends to ranks they shouldn’t be. This is why they are changing it to take more account of individual performance more than the win. At the moment it’s 50/50.

All this means is you didn’t do particularly well in those games and though won it’s saying you did bad things. Like had poor aim, wasted your cooldowns, didn’t contend for the point, didn’t heal, damage or block enough or simply just kept dying and feeding ult to the enemy team. I had it with a friend when the game came out. We obviously started same rank but after 50 games I was in plat and he was in gold. We played all of those games together haha. But I got MVP and SVP over a quarter of the time and so when gaining RS I would gain more. When losing RS I would lose less.

But that is to be expected! You sound like you come from COD and so not used to these types of games. Which means you will climb slower than those that come from say Overwatch. We were the ones populating the higher ranks when Rivals released… and no offence but I’m glad they did this because it was bad enough explaining things to those with amazing technical ability but with the game sense and intelligence of a brain damaged starfish (yes, I am fully aware they don’t have brains) that “I heal x per second and you tried to take on a hero that does y damage per second now realise I can’t out heal their damage” or “I’m Thor taking on their Thor and you are healers… heal me instead of doing damage to the Thor so I can win the fight” … and trying to explain “it’s more like NFL/Rugby than COD: you have to think of offensive and defensive lines” … so I’m glad that they expect players to get better. Also glad they are raising the level needed to reach before unlocking comp. Don’t wanna be that guy but come rank reset it would be awful for those in gold to be put back to bronze to play with new players. I’m already not happy that I will be back to gold.
