Reset Ranks

[Baxxy.Nut]

Reset ranks. It is that simple. Make everybody redo placements. Ranks are terrible right now because everybody is locked into ranks that they should not be. You go down to silver and you find people that are better than most players dmg-lem. You go up to supreme/global and you find players that are worse than their silver counterparts. It used to be 1 person every few games was clearly not at the rank they should be at, now it seems that 2-3 people every game are ranked incorrectly. Game has been out for so long. Last update to anything regarding ranks was 2015 i believe? Have everybody redo placements. Every other game with a ranked competitive mode has seasons. At least reset us once to refresh things. Inb4 everybody comes in here to whine about how this is a dumb idea because they will lose their ranks lmao.

Ranking systems calculates your rank based on all your previous performances.

I don't like being crushed by GEs every new seasons so no thanks for that. Experienced similar stuff in Rocket League.

I do wish we had some more insight into the rankings. I know the Underlords team have been pretty transparent about how much it takes to get what rank. I wonder how that's been working out for them and if there is going to be any cross-team chatter about possibly messing with the CS:GO rankings.

I'm just a Silver II so I know I'm well below any skill level to know what I'm talking about but I would like to get some information from Valve about rank distribution, how to rank up (very vaguely even), or anything really.

The fact it's been such a secret black box for so long has lead to weird statements like "It's only MVP that matters" or "round wins > game wins" and a lot of other homebrew advice that's built on anecdotes and not data.

this would be great

The only people who would want this are Silvers and Gold Nova's, because they think they are better than they actually are.

It's a glicko-2 system based on the rounds.
It has been confirmed by Valve, hoewever I agree that CS GO, in general, lacks a bit of commuincation.

Better communication on simple things like in game detailled info about cooldowns level, and daily ban would do great.

For the ranking system, the complaints you just made are fairly common in other ranking system, even well explained & well known.

That isn't how it would work. I'm talking about a one time reset. It needs to be refreshed. Ranks are stagnant and terrible right now.

Rank does have a decay over time.

Wouldnt change a thing, the same people would end up in the same ranks within a very short time.

The underlords system is really simple, 8 possible placements, bottom half loses some points upper half gains some. Nothing matters except finishing the game as 4th or better. It also doesnt matter against who you play, you gain the same points even if you beat a player 10 times higher than you. You also cannot lose a rank, its very very different from csgo.

or some drastic change like december 2015 would be nice... it's been way too long

It has very strong decay over time, which is part of the problem as well.

That is not what happens though. You get trapped in ranks because this is a TEAM game. Someone can get 40 kills, 10 MVPs, 10 assists, every game and never rank up due to his team.

I've been stuck in mg1, I was mg2 but since I always perform well but never win I lost that. Idk why Russians/Turkish ppl are so toxic on here. I've met 1 Russian guy who was nice, others were toxic etc.

Not my expirience in 5000-6000 hours accross 5 different accounts.
Most people simply have REALLY bad perception about their own performance. People delete bad matches in their memory and only keep the good ones. Standard human psychologic behavior.
