Like the title says, ranking is awful. This is just a rant so feel free to ignore. But I’ve just gone 5-3 with support, all games being with high heals and assists and even decent damage. Somehow I go from 30% plat 1 to 84% plat 1 and yesterday I went 5-5 and went from 8% to that 30%.
I don’t understand how that works out considering how I’ve gone 5-5 before and went up a rank from being in 50%.
Not only that but when I was 4-1 I suddenly had the worst dps players to ever play, I’m talking bastions with 2k damage, people playing characters that are super weak to enemy team, and even getting pockets as mercy but they still just mag dump the tank.
I swear the matchmaking system sees someone who is about to reach a new division and intentionally gives bad team mates because I will likely de rank to plat 2 and have the easiest games ever, as this has been the way for the past 2 months.
The ranked system is designed to keep engagement by frustration. So the matchmaking will work actively to put you with dead weights whenever you’re about to reach a certain goal. You rank down, start stomping people below your skill level, feel good, get on your actual rank level and then they give you some useless sandbags to see if you can solo carry them. Rinse and repeat
