Rank is broken.

Holy. I am playing flex fill whatever. Not instalocking. Doing whatever needs to be done. Last 11 games I had SVP in 10 and I had MVP in the 1 single one I won. Like holy these games are absolutely uncarryable. DPS that literally get 5 or less kills in a 15 min match. Supports that CANNOT hit q for any thing and just sit on tank ignoring dps. Or tanks that do not know how to play the game even closely. You just cannot carry these lobbies. It feels like every single game I have one person who statistically at the end of hte match might as well have been invisible. Feeling like I'm playing 5v6. I've never played a more unbalanced matchmaking system in my life. Before a game even starts I can usually tell if I win or lose. One of those games I had a guy on a 16 game loss streak on my team not a single mvp never not feeding. Like yup free loss. Therre's no placements so you are stuck with literal bronze players against what could be just gold players who got reset. Every game feels like a herculian task to carry. Never played a ranked system that made me so frustrated and I've played a lot of competitve games from League of legends to csgo to rocket league. This is easily the worst system I've ever encountered.

do you mind me asking what's your rank?

also yes ranked is broken.

play something with carry potential like psylock, winter soldier, magik or namor is my tip.

Rank and Levels do not mean anything in this game. They should, and possibly for some they will reflect the truth, but for most they don't.

There are an incredible amount of ways to lose a match. Most revolve around 1-2 players on your team acting like a-holes. Tanks that disappear, healers that refuse to heal, duelists that refuse to work with their team, players that refuse to switch roles, players that only play 1-2 characters and never change, and more.

Work with the players on your team who want that team experience and ignore the others. Try to get Vanguard and Strategist roles taken by those that want to work together, as 1-2 duelists can be ignored and you still might win.

I look at my own history and I see how every match a healer chooses not to heal is either a loss or a very, very close match. Every match with healers that heal, usually 2, is a win.

What they changed for S2 should help in the long run. But for now, its hit and miss.

Join Competition and play 3 matches. If at least two are good teams, even if you lose, then keep it going for 3 more. If 2 or all of those matches get you teams with players ruining it, then go play Quick Match and play 3 matches,. Then repeat. It seems both have good and bad players, regardless of levels or rank.

Someone can be super high rank and ruin the match for their team. Just like someone can be level 2 and no rank yet and win the match for their team lol

No Fun in the Fake-Ranked with the completely manipulated EOMM ?!

ya man this game's rank system is basically fake. They use algorithms for engagement and not competitive fairness. Thats why some games feel like they are free wins and some freel like you just cant do anything. Many games do similar things. Even overwatch gives you less/more points for wins based on if they want more players in certain ranks to reduce Q times. Playing Duo/groups helps a little, and some believe streaming your game play if that software is detected then it gives you more positive experience.

Yeah it's literally a broken system that rewards spamming games and not actual skill.
