Some of these people feel like bots. There shouldn’t be Bots in ranked game modes especially after you achieve gold rank. If a person is good rank they need to know how to play every role just as I and my friends do. I don’t k ow what the issue is but progression in this game sucks. Keep noobs out of Gold Rank. If there are noobs in gold rank, it’s not ranked, it’s a joke.

Ranked is for everyone, not just the very best

#

You will have a steady climb if you're meant to. Yes, sometimes people troll games, intentional or not. But this requirement change wont make you win 100% of your games or ensure only people with hands are in your games.

This change will only hurt the new (who deserve to play ranked) and people who come from other MOBAs

People are always trolling games. They’re always feeding and raging/screaming at their own teammates. Some of these people clearly do not belong in ranked game mode and if it truly is for everyone and it’s not reserved for the BEST then there is absolutely no point in having it in the game. There are people who are better than you, there are people who are better than me. Ranked is supposed to be a grind. Noobs should not be in Gold Rank. People in Silver Rank are more intelligent than some of the people who have been carried to Gold

But these kinds of people will always remain

#

Nobody deserves to play ranked unless they have put in hard work. Ranked is not for everyone

sharp canopy
#

I disagree

#

People who dont put in work, wont climb as much as people who do

#

Youre not targeted

#

As much as you get idiots, so does the enemy team

#

This is such a needless post. These have been went over thousands of times and thousands of times been explained why raising ranked requirement wont "save ranked"

#

If you deserve to climb, you will climb

#

End of story really

#

You wont win 100% of your games, and the sooner you accept it, the better your mental and your winrate will improve

You wont get carried by good teammates all of the time

fading bolt
#

I’m not the one getting carried, I’m usually the one doing the carrying. As I stated above

sharp canopy
#

Then youd be climbing and you wouldnt be making this post

fading bolt
#

I can’t carry everyone.

#

Though I wish I could.

sharp canopy
#

If youre ahead and lose games, then its a skill issue in part of your inability to snowball a lead and close games

fading bolt
#

If I’m ahead and then I get bad teammates over and over again, it’s a system issue.

zenith tulip
#

you have to be able to convert your leads into wins thats how you climb

fading bolt
#

You can put 5 great people together and still have them lose. It all comes down to who they’re going against

sharp canopy
#

Keep blaming the system and stay hard stuck gold. OR, accept coaching from Curser (very knowledgable) and climb

zenith tulip
#

Climbing is entirely about how well you generate and convert leads into wins

sharp canopy
#

Hot take but most people are hard stuck cos of mental diff

Dont blame others, instead look at ways you can improve

Have neither of you had bad teammates before?

Sometimes you hard lose, whatever gg go next

Just limit test in a losing game

And improve

#

What are you talking about

#

Its a competitive game. You wont win every match. Losing games should be an opportunity for you to learn

#

Not complain

fading bolt
#

I get to Gold, win two matches and then I start getting horrible teammates. I get kicked all the way back down to the top of silver and then I begin getting competent teammates again.

Ranked requirements are never changing and this thread will be locked with no value added to the game

Instead you coudve listened and accept that you can improve

Look im not trying to flame you or anything like this is genuine if you want to improve and climb let me teach you with a couple vod reviews, i learned how to climb in mobas from someone i met in college and it changed my entire perception of the climb

#

it took me from being a gold level player to where i am now

Worry about how you can play better where you can carry the match and you will win more games. Everyone deals with bad players

The 'bad 'players you're complaining about have a higher chance of being on the enemy team than yours

Climbing isn't always winning every game. Sometimes it's simply a positive win rate and a gradual climb

And increasing the level requirement for ranked will do absolutely nothing about toxicity

It’s the same discussion as everywhere else here and again there are a lot of people just saying it’s a mental issue. It’s not.
It’s the incredible bad ranking system and mmr distribution of this game in general. People are obviously not always matched with worse people but the skill gap in EVERY SINGLE GAME is way to high between the participants. And that goes on through all ranks. There is no match atm anymore that feels like somewhat of an exciting game because the teams skills are matched. It’s always pretty clear in one or the other direction. If not that’s really an exception. That makes ranked completely unnecessary. Ranked should be exactly what was mentioned here. Once you get better and learn more skills you should rank up. It should be a grind. That is definitely not the fact with pred. At least not as solo q. The skill of people in the same rank is way too mixed and the average skill increase over the ranks is just way too incoherent. It’s just a bad ranking system. That’s all. This is based on the combination that they use a completely useless hidden mmr and identifying skill or potential solely by the winrate. Of course it gets random then.

Increasing the lvl cap will do nothing to fix that. They have to rework the entire ranking system so the game makes somewhat fun for competitive people.
At this moment you can only play to have fun with the game or train or what ever but if you’re solo q you cannot play with the mindset of winning because it’s mostly out of your hand.

And before people here as always come running and saying „sKiLl iSsUe“ no it’s not. I have played with multiple accounts due to playing this game with multiple people with different skillsets and also solo q so I have played through a lot of different ranks and it’s just a fact that the rank distribution is just incoherent unlike other ranked games.

Obviously a bronze I worse than a paragon but in those ranks in between from silver, gold, plat and dia it’s just a complete mess.

tepid ocean
#

Obviously for some people it’s fine because they benefit from a system like this, others are getting mad cause it harms them. I don’t really care about the opinions mentioned here, because most will be biased but if one has somewhat of an overview over the ranks and can objectively tell skill levels apart its quite clear that the ranked mode in pred is not good.

sharp canopy
#

I mean, reworking the system is an entirely different topic. I agree that they should opt in to use a variation of Microsoft's TrueSkill like Omeda.city did for their 3rd party MMR.

#

But ranked is not broken, the pop size is just simply small for it to be brilliant. It will never be perfect, but if people can climb, so can everyone

#

Its 100% a mental, and you can climb if you want to. Game doesnt get better in Paragon/Dia, they also get idiots. This isnt a system issue if everyone plays by the same rules

#

Which they do

cyan reef
#

if you play on multiple accounts as you say im not surprised games feel lopsided. you dont play enough on one account to allow your mmr to reach where it should be to get better matched games

claiming that the only ranks that actually show a skill disparity is bronze and paragon is just close minded

to make the game 'fun' for competetive people is to make them win
competetive people play games to win
gamers play games to have fun
win or lose
expecting to win every game is doomed to fail. instead of always looking at the scoreboard for someone to blame, look at how you could have played better

but the algorithm changing is not going to change how players act and leave games are bad at game etc

#

most of it is mental. whats gonna happen with algorithm change is the ranks will shift to be majority more gold rather then plat and way less paragon players.

K im wrong

reef furnace
#

yes please, so my smurf can get in faster.

#

more then 50% of bronze

#

just gave up.

#

same with silver

#

the game is literally designed for you to reach gold

#

unless your really not that good

#

inactive to active distribution does a good job

#

showing that

#

because , al though im assuming, this takes into account activity, meaning it doens thave to be JUST ranked.

#

@sharp fulcrum am i right?

#

sorry for ping i just miss u bb

#

GROSSLY ove restimating

#

but there is 100k INACTIVE RANKED ACCOUNT

#

i believe i did active accountrs before, and it was under 10k players.

#

9900

#

also to bring back on topic.

#

lot of not great players are high levels, so there is almost 0 difference. if your good enough, you will climb up naturally.

I don’t think any of you read what I said BECAUSE I have stated that I win a couple matches once I reach Gold, but then an influx of bad players on my team happens. I get booted down to silver, because of my teammates costing us the match, and then the competent silver players work together with me to achieve gold rank again. This is not a skill issue, it is a repetitive and predictable system issue. I can tell you right now that I’m going to play 2-3 ranked matches but then I will start getting horrendous teammates who clearly do not want to win in any way. This is predictable, therefor it is a system issue for sure. Stop putting these people in my groups. You can put certain skilled players together and one side still lose. Keep people who suck out of ranked because ranked is intended for the strongest, most intelligent of players. Weak, unintelligent people should not be in ranked. That is the Skill Issue here

have to carry crazzyfool and pinzo and soulreaper off cd. sometimes wangle

cyan reef
#

Yeah the game specifically wants to keep you out of gold
The more games you play, the less 'weak and unintelligent' people will affect your rank. Depending on how many games youve played, gold may simply be your peak
But asking the game to predict the future as to how the game will end or who will play badly and well ie just a little bit silly

That’s why rank should be reserved. You’ll get reported over it and it doesn’t matter if you or the next person dislikes it, you could never stop me from doing it.
