So many ppl don't know how to play in comp

[PsychoPsyops]

Even in Gold and Platinum, so many people still don't know how to play the game in competitive.

They don't know the strongest/top tier healers, they don't know counters, they don't know comp lineups, or they just insta-lock a hero they want to play and don't switch when needed.

It is embarrassing. Watch pro players, read up on stuff, learn something.
Or go back to quick play.
It's not difficult.

what you are talking about right now is "you need to play the strongest combination to win" but it seems that this is not the case in marvel rivals.

1 player that is good with a hero can still outplay their counters that are not fully used to the hero they use to counter.

Yeah counter switching is important, but if u have 2 hours with the counter while they have 50 hours with their hero u will get smashed.

That is why finding a group and play with playing with them is just the best way to go.

Also u are talking about Gold and plat like it is high tier, but that is the middle of the ranks.

Gold, Plat, and even lower end Diamond in this game is basically the equivalent of Silver in any eSports title

Ranking system in this game is honestly pretty lenient and they probably have it set up that way so people have a fair shot at getting the rewards like a new skin

people with horrid win ratios, like me, wont ever see those comp skins/rewards, best to just avoid queing for it

Its best to play comp over QP because QP players are monkeys with no senses of anything about the game

I lost 6 games in a row getting stomped in gold, I didn't pull a miracle to reach gold as I've worked myself hard to reach that rank together with my friends or playing solo also I do watch YT videos to improve my game play with heroes and maps, this is something I've noticed a lot mostly that the enemy team is always having at least one player smurfing together with their buddies to boost their wins, plus most of my games our game is already decided soon as we are dead immediately defending a point or stomped at the spawn point itself even though we were sticking together because no matter how hard we tried we still get stomped and ppl like to spam surrender immediately, I don't like this surrender option which is annoying because I don't like the league of legends type of mentality in players because they want to give up soon, I play Dota in that game we were not encouraged to give up until we try because comeback is always possible, so back to the point, I've tried counter picking and played comp lineups and have to switch in between at the last moment for push nothing worked out at all and players were complaining, my point is this game is very punishing for most players as it has a ♥♥♥♥ matchmaking system and doesn't have an option to report players for smurfing, even if you try to be good this game will punish you to lose games that's how the system is made, I play quick match also but its not as fun it is anymore too many try hard ppl ruining the game, this game has already lost its touch of fun, its becoming more and more less enjoyable now sadly.

because this game is allowing casual players with no deep in game knowledge/skill achieve higher ranks

i made a thread exactly explaining with calculations and other examples how ranked system truly works: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2767030/discussions/0/600769761663596151/

Everyone thinks that they know better, including everyone here. I see these "team sucks" posts every day and everyone claps without realizing that you all talk ♥♥♥♥ about each other in these posts. Like did you all think that only real true rivals of the marvel verse talk here and all the 'bad' players (which apparently 99% of the playerbase) do not?

The biggest issue why people are losing in solo or duo que is just bad synergy and I am not talking about characters, I mean just people. Everyone is looking to blame someone else so the moment anyone underperforms it's a flame town and everything crumbles. Chances are the person who is in same rank as you probably having a rough game, like everyone does from time to time.

There are people of course that just seemingly do not know what they are doing and that often comes in form of playing certain hero and not wanting to swap, no matter what. Which often a response to being flamed or thinking they are being flamed.

As for gold and plat being all bronze equivalent? Also pretty false. There are people who are actually hard stuck bronze and once you hit plat you likely develop certain game knowledge. Like my aim is not the best but when I play quick play I am usually at the top of the board and can tell clear difference between myself and my team mates skill level. The game knowledge I apply makes a huge difference between them and me. It's not even an opinion, it's a fact cause later when I check their ranks they are often bronze/silver, and it shows.

Guessing this must be OPs first experience with a ranked ladder in a game that uses eomm..

Get used to it, it's only going to get worse with time.. it always does in games that use eomm..

Waiting for the don't tell me what to do crowd to chime in. Meh - You get teamed with who you get teamed with. If it's of the utmost importance to know who you'll be in with, join with a full pre-made.

It's broken and bs!

[zopf76 ☭]

When bad Players reach a high (fake) Rank through EOMM, it means to them, that they are good Player and there is nothing to improve -> everyone else is playing badly...

EOMM stops the learning effect (for the Profit) = there are only "Pro players"

Everything below celestial 2 is low elo brother, it's not a gold/plat problem, dia/gm is even worst.
Maybe season 2 will fix the +50 - 20 with negative wr so dia+ will be cleaned by a lot of trash.

These are some very precise ranks. Not arguing that celestial players are somehow not batter than ranks below but this smells like just saying your precise rank and then saying that this is where good starts and everything below is just bad.

To make it clear, gm1/celestial3 is where you start gaining +20 and losing the same or more.
A rank you can reach with negative wr isn't high, you can reach gm1 with negative wr spamming games.
Celestial 2 can only be reached by good players, good stacked team, in short, people who are not hardstucked with 50% wr or less, u need at least 55%+.
