I am silver 1. I lose to a Gold 1.

[Yukeh]

Sure, i guess it's only fair that i instantly demote to Bronze 1. You deserve increased rank penalties for losing against someone in a much higher rank than you are.

Seriously guys? Punishing players for being bad? Shouldn't you lose less of your rating for losing against someone statistically way better than you? (Reputation 1 Aramusha vs Reputation 55 Nobushi)

there is no point in ranking up mate. So dont be sad. you dont get a fancy reward after the season for reaching a specific rank.

All u can get are ornaments for winning games. So be glad to land in bronze 1, there u can have fun fighting without tryhards and still get your rewards.

This. I'm starting to really hate being in diamond with the amount of people who just pick the strongest characters

edit: Basically the higher rank you get, the less fun you have when winning - you have to play so "optimally" (not throwing out unsafe attacks...) that it really kills the fun of the mode

This is exaggerated by the fact that if you dont have an opener then have fun trying to get your opponent to even attempt a parry if their character does have one

TLDR - the "best" (most fun) rank to be is probably about silver / gold, this will enable you to not only find players easily but also not roflstomp players (at the lowest ranks)... and also give you a chance of actually getting the ranked rewards in a fun way that doesn't involve turtling and throwing out your safest move

Oh, i’m not sad about the rank. Ranking up is fun - i really dont mind it.

But being able to drop a full division from a single defeat can produce enormous matchmaking issues. Suddenly i face bronze players when i’m at silver level myself - it’s almost like smurfing. They can’t hope to match me in a 1v1, and if it can happen to me it can happen to people in the mid and high ranks too.

The higher you go in ranks the worse it gets im currently at diamond 3 and there is nothing but tryhards i dont even run into nice people anymore everyone is incredibly toxic

This is also a problem for me in the crappy tournament mode i run into alot of low ranks i once fought a silver 2 he was prestige 200+ and he was better and was using kenshei vs my aramusha yet when i lost 3-1 i went from diamond 5 to diamond 2 even tho that match was unwinnable for me

With tryhards i mean toxic people that purposfully pick heros like warden and conq but instead of playing properly they only talk trash and use their heros broken move and when they get ever slightly near death they lock up and refuse to attack as aramusha that means im ♥♥♥♥♥♥ no matter what i do and ofcourse when they win they will act like its all skill but they rly where carried by their hero

Lol. In my tournaments so far i've faced like 10 orochis, 6 Kenseis, 1 Warden 2 Nobushis and and 1 Shugoki.

Your term "tryhard" is just them doing the only thing they know to try to win.

And i know we are leagues apart, but... When people refuse to attack me as Aramusha, i just feint. Either cancel a heavy attack and restart it when they parry, or heavy attack the air, then heavy attack again and feint it into a light attack. Typically throws them off balance

(unless they're Kensei or Orochi, where they'll dodge-slash spam in which case i just dont switch into an attack after a feint but just parry their dodge-slash instead.)

You dont actually think people "abusing the broken" is anything out of the ordinary, or limited to the higher ranks, do you? It happens everywhere. People want to win. Even the bad ones.

I face wardens in duels all the time. I find them easier to deal with than Kensei honestly. And dont even get me started on Highlander!
