Here why you cannot climb

[Desfen]

The game has so called "player retention system". When players achieve desired rank, they quit the game, because there is nothing to do for them anymore.
Once a week after about 10 matches the system allows you to get 1 rank higher. Also it is almost impossible to drop 2 ranks below it, so you wont give up and continue playing. It has nothing to do with actual skill, game will find right people for you to lose or win, when needed.
Why they would do it? Time spent in game greatly increases probability that player will buy something in the game shop.

I dont believe it but I will test it next season... for science.

Actually, if they were really looking for retention by manipulating the system like this, they would not pair bronze players against gold and above players ... which according to my game history is not the exception, but a regular occurence.

I am trying to climb out of bronze, but, again according to my game history and comparing the ranks between teams, I arrive at the conclusion that the matchmaking system is simply completely broken.

From what I can see, it has beem designed to create verrryyyy short queues hence why people with so vastly different skills are put together in a single match.

It creates a miserable experience for the lower ranked players like me and many of those are on the verge of quitting the game because of that.

So, while I can understand where you come from, I err more on the side of issues with the matchmaking itself.

PS: A perfectly working matchmaking system is supposed to give you close to 50% win rates, not due to manipulation but due to the fact, that a certain point, you should reach a plateau and be paired with and against players of similar ranks.

Hence why the impression of a "forced" 50 percent win rate.

This is not the case here. If you're good, you'll rank up waayyyy more wins that the expected ration, and lower ranked can expect long defeat streaks due to imbalance in the matchmaking.

Typical trash MM made for PvP games nowadays
Even if i wished to buy some skins i would never do it, because supporting this trash business strategy is dumb

[RememberMeKBX]

Is impossible to rank up in this game unless you have friends that are at least OK at the game. I get match up with hot trash every 2 games. What is funny is that they get mad when you call them out for being hot pieces of garbage and all they do is die, die, die and then die.

like with any other modern mp game?

[DoremianCleff]

You understand that minority of players engaging with competitive and most people play QP?

[RobAlca]

skill issue

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

Just about everyone I see complaining about climbing rank and not achieving it is due to having terrible teammates on their team as they solo queuing. Allowing the matchmaker to pick their teammates for them.

It's funny too because there is an actually way around that issue too, yet if you suggest it they always get defensive or can't be bothered with doing it. They'd rather just keep suffering through solo queuing.

I gained 2 ranks yesterday in approximately a 5 hour play period its bronze silver and gold hell brothers and sisters make friends and group up

Communication is a good way to climb, solo or grouped.
Hop in voice chat, make some callouts and stay positive. You may lose, you may win, but if you keep a good attitude, most people will also have a good attitude.

I win more games making callouts than I lose. Playing support with simple things like "Iron Man, im with you lets chase these two" or "___ low" it geta people to focus instead of trying to fight their own battles.

Unfortunately, people either don't want to talk, are shy, have had bad experiences, whatever the reason.

The best thing you can do is remain positive. After that make callouts, then suggestions. Such as "hey, they are countering (insert hero here) lets try this if you can"

Dude, today after 50h of quickplay I soloqueued from bronze 3 to silver 1 in like what, 10 games or so (lost only 1 game). If people are a little collaborative (i.e. swapping roles or enabling team ups) it isn't that hard to win. Also the poor optimization is a challenge aswell in this game.
Note: I mainly played 50h of qp for achievements but that helped me getting the grip of the game.

I used to be diamond, but now I've been stuck with pure trash teams... back to plat.
