16 hours, master guardian 1. Competitive is broken

[Lil Ronie]

The placement system of this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Like, really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I've put 16 hours into this game (the first counter strike I've ever played), and around 8-10 before playing my first competitive game. First up, I got matched with and against mge's (even though it was literally my first competitive game ever) and, as expected I got ♥♥♥♥ on. I got kicked after 2 rounds. Really not the best intro to the competitive scene. This happened three times after the first game. I kept getting matched up against mge's and dmg's and getting kicked by my team because I sucked ass. Eventually my skillgroup was adjusted and I played with mg1's and mg2's. Which was a bit better, but I still really wasn't up to scratch, since I had played around 8 hours of the game. I did win a couple of games, sometimes I even ended up in the top three of my team. And because of that I eventually ended up getting my rank, which was master gaurdian 1. And I got this rank after playing 16 hours of this game. 16! Now every time I try to play competitive I get ♥♥♥♥ on or get kicked. The placement system has effectively ruined my entire cs:go experience.

It goes by your score in placement. People that play FPS games years before CSGO can get high placement. I started at GN3.

I am legendary eagle in a new account with 40 hours, and in my main account, I am still gold nova 4 with more than 1000 hours. So this system sucks very much indeed.

No what I'm saying is I didn't get boosted. I ended up in the top three quite a few times, without someone clearly carrying the team. Some people just shouldn't be in these ranks, including me.

dont worry the first rank is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, how you play after that matters, if you still suck then you will keep getting deranked until you reach the silver levels

[eilzinho >Tr4ding Knife+Skins]

This is why smurfing is fun not only in silver/nova

[O-Ji.Esfor]

i watch SovietWomble video, he got his first rank on Master Guardian Elite.
But now he get his real rank, Gold Nova 3.
So dont worry mate

That's great and all, but the placement system should just place you in your real rank from the beginning. Now I'll have to get pounded for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of matches before actually having fun in this game.

Who are you to decide in what rank people 'belong'?
The first mistake you're making is the fact you give a crap about ranks to begin with. Ranks mean NOTHING.

then just get with a deranking group easy

I started out as DMG, went to supreme, rank reset, i started playing less and less, I'm now back at dmg again.

Rank is fine.

Ranks do mean quite a bit actually. Sure, there isn't much difference between gold nova 4 and master guardian 1, but there is between silver 4 and master guardian 1. There's such a gigantic skillgap between those two ranks that they should never be playing against eachother, yet it still evidently happens.
And I didn't decide in what rank people belong. I just know that people like me should NOT be in master guardian 1. It takes all the fun out of the game.

the ranking system bases your ranks off of rounds won so a lot of times it is quite incorrect in placing somebody

Update on this:

Played two matches, won one bottomfragging, tied one going 15 - 23, second to bottom. I am now Master Guardian II. 18 hours on record. Great.
