Ranks

[Barry Rallen]

Can someone tell me what ranks there are I just got placed into bronze 1 in solo and I just want to get a basic understanding of how it stands compared to others. I feel pretty dissapointed since im normally pretty good at every game I play and bronze is normally one of the lower tiers of ranks if not the lowest.

youre Bronze ELITE MASTER

joke aside: there are 4 tiers of ranks going from bronze to diamond and every each rank packed with 5 levels plus ELITE ranks for those who reached 2100 SR

LOL I got the lowest rank? Damn thought I would get placed about average since I won 5/10. Damn I feel like a meme.

It happened to me too, but that's because the skill difference between players in this game is huge and the player count is pretty low, in Counter Strike I always place gold nova master and im Master Guardian now, but in this game I got Bronze even though I won most of the placements.

It's just how it is, though, I am actually grateful I ended up bronze in this game cause like I said, the skill difference in this game is way different and silver players are actually "good".

If you question how good you are as a new player without prior experience I can tell you that you are terrible, even if you do good against others it just means match making is working.

With help from others and looking actively for guides and how the game plays you could advance quite a bit faster, but organically just by playing and figuring out stuff yourself it takes quite a lot of time, even if you do everything you can to learn how to play still expect it to take 500+ hours to get good

Yea but this game seems a lot easier to pickup than most of the other games I have played in the past. For me it doesnt seem like it will take to long to learn, im not trying to be arrogant but I am a pretty fast learner when it comes to games. Not the best skill to have in life but it is one I have!

Have you ever had previous experience with any other Arena shooter in the past? If not then the guys above you makes a great point the skill gap in Afps is ridiculously large like I'm talking arcade fighting game kind of gaps between skill levels a proffesional quake player can run circles around even an average player without even trying hard.

bronze1 0-675
bronze2 675-750
bronze3 750-825
bronze4 825-900
bronze5 900-975

higher divisions are:
silver 1-5
gold 1-5
platinum 1-5

so u r @ bottom, u need to practice a lot, quake has high entry level :-)

I have a question about ranked mode. Is it necessary to continue playing everyday to keep our rank? Cuz I had played 10 matches and already qualified last week but now my rank has disappeared and I have only 9 games recorded.

Happened to me. Apparently you need to play at least one game a week.

There is a huge skill gap in this established game, which also has a steep learning curve. I am currently in gold. The majority of gold players are veterans of afps games, some with prior competitive experience.

Also duel is the mode that attracts the most hardcore players, so simply by being a duel player you are probably in the upper end of the quake community.

This is like starcraft.. where bronze is new/learning and silver+ is experienced players, you will often find former diamonds in gold division in starcraft. The biggest jump in skill is from bronze to silver... from complete novice to veteran.

This is not like CS or other ranked games, where the playerbase is mainly noob/casual, with a small elite group at the top.

think of Quake being distributed like this in terms of CS ranks....

Silver 1- MG = Bronze
MG2 - DMG = Silver
LE - LEM = Gold
SMFC = Diamond
Global = Elite

What other FPS have you played thats more complex then this? I think your lack of understanding makes you think you know more then you do, hence why your bronze.

The system works that it gives you games you should win and games you shouldnt win, So if you won 5/10 you beat people who are crippled at gaming probably and the 5 you lost were against below average players but actually have experience and comprehend the game in full.

Play 25 more games, if you can win 75% you will rise fast in SR and learn on the way, if you cant progress past 1200 you probably have far more to learn then you think,

Anyone capable in Quake even if they are not a dueler can easily get above 1500 SR - 1900 or so max.
