Plat 2 is Top 5%

[Koba]

Wut.... Seems like a low rank to be in top 5% of players. Is the player base really that low skill?

Most players don't play ranked I assume and it counts them as bronze.

But why so low amount of 20 lvl ?

[PlayerWeakBOT]

If you remove all bronze III players who don't climb the ranks, and then count only Bronze II players after, plat 2 is close to plat 1 in overwatch.

Game just started. There is no MMR. Everyone started Bronze.

not low skill.... it is the bullcrap ranked system!
you could be the best player in the world, but still be stucked in bronze because of bad teammates because ONLY wins/losses as a team count, not your performance.

A good player will carry a bad team unless the other team has people that are significantly better then the average. I think you underestimate how one player can sway a game. Will it happen all the time? Of course not. But a high level player will fly through the lower ranks.

a good player can NOT carry a team that ingores objectives entirely!
This game is about teamwork for the objective, no more, no less.

It's a casual hero shooter with Marvel branding. Who do you think vast majority of players are?

[A.C.S.]

In shorts: MM system just not working. It cannot divide good and bad players that are stuck at 1 queue called "bronze + silver".

Explanation:
Gold III and better has 17% of total players. Silver I and better has 20% of total players.

It means that 80% are in bronze 3,2,1 or silver 3,2.
In pvp games, there's normal distribution of "skill" (even it is very inexact). Normal distribution is math term meaning that most people have normal stats (they are in the center of graphic).

According to leagues, Center should be between gold and platinum leagues (last 2 leagues are for premades only, so we have 6 leagues and these ones are in center of it).
So 80% of people should be gold or platinum. No matter what skill they do have - it's just a method to distribute big numbers (people). Majority means center.
But somewhat 80% of people are < silver 1.

Why? Answer on this question is answer on your question.
The reason is that distribution is strongly pushed left. Why?

1. Bronze 3 newbie and Silver 1 players are in 1 queue (bronze and silver mixed together).
It leads to fact that good players often have really lowskilled teammates because MM system cannot divide them (system based on winrate doesn't work for anything except 1v1 games, it's just math).
2. There are no competition placement matches. Let's say, you could have forced to play 300 placement matches (more or less big stat. Not 10 matches as it is in some games) and then system would've place you to some league. That would lead us to normal distribution. It could be wrong or bad, but it would've been better than it is now.

If your team is just smart enough to hold left click on enemy while using some skills without even moving you can definitely carry matches in bronze, most people don't know how to deal with dive tanks so you can just carry every match with venom unless your team goes 5dps every match which is unlikely. You can get stuck in bronze because of bad teammates but if you're an average player but if you're really THAT good you should be able to create enough space for your bad teammates to do something.

It's a free team game with 20 million players. The vast majority probably haven't even tried competitive one time
