I went from ascendant to archon this rank update. 65% winrate 7 KD

[Pkeloveyt]

I queued with my ascendant friend while I am Archon 6.
He got a rank up while playing against other Archon people, my friend might reach eternus for free if he keeps queing with me.

banned = ascendant friend

Yep! I went from Ascendant VI with a 70% winrate in ranked to Phantom XD, don't even show up on the EU Seven Leaderboard even though I have/had(before the update) a higher rank and winrate than literally every one of them, with about 50 games played.

Yeah everything is fucked. The leaderboards are completely messed up too. I was demoted from Ascendant 6 to Oracle 5, and my I was maining Warden before I got deranked and a lot of the people I see on the Warden leaderboards were lower rank than me before.
It's like they just rewarded the players that were high ranked before Ranked mode was added and punished everybody who's been grinding ranked to catch up. Even the leaderboards don't seem to care about all the ranked games that have been played over the course of the last month.

It's beyond ridiculous. If they don't implement a fix for this then I'm done with the game.

I often only play in a duo or trio queue party, and i have only played one ranked match in my life.
Ive played the past 100 games with a single friend in duo queue, and he got placed ritualist, and I got placed eternus III...
for reference, the average rank for every game i played previously in the normal gamemode was always about oracle. Every eternus skill based match i play since the match have never felt easier, as if the rank you get doesn't actually represent your true mmr. Could be possible that the matchmaking rework barely takes any games queued with a party as data for mmr.

Yep. I know this isn’t intentional, but at the moment, this is the issue for me and many others. I just don’t feel like playing at that rank again, especially after the time I put into the game to improve.

 

[rgp]

Why are heroes I've played 1 match with 200 matches ago contribute to my rank at all? That makes no sense.

 

[user4728191]

Yeah this absolutely needs to be reverted and re-publish with ranked MMR. Normal match MMR should never take into account unless the user has literally no ranked MMR.

 

[Pkeloveyt]

90% winrate so far with vindicta......Just 2 subrank up for having 9 wins 1 loss JOKE of a system, how much do u want me to play this game to get a decent rank

 

[Pkeloveyt]

this is how my day went, according to deadlocktracker.gg the lobbies ended up being phantom but idk how true that is.
All these games resulsted into me goign from archon 6 to oracle 2...... im sad, gonna take a while huh.
1-2 more wins are missing.

(except ascendant game)

I will post the link to this forum into the feedback changelog section , as its private and i do wanna see msges from other peeps

My recent matches were really unbalanced and people were complaining in-game as well.

Went from high oracle lobbies to high emissary after grinding the ever living hell out of ranked ever since it dropped. Never touched standard matches unless I wanted to try a new character which often resulted in losses due to......Ya know LEARNING. Since they thought this was a good idea to merge the ranks and bring in outdated or not even serious games I've been on full blown autopilot and still winning. this takes the actual fun in my eyes away. Absolutely zero desire to play because well what's the point? To gain back everything that was taken away for something I didn't even ask for?.... Yes I get the game is still in very early development but if they're going to introduce "RANKED" and players take the time to improve, it should not result in a punishment because streamers want shorter ques......PS in literally every other game that has ranked high que times are to be expected due to the fact you're a lot better then 90% of the player base. Comes with the territory.

 

[jonandersen]

I think it's been fixed? My rank says Ascendant 2 now instead of Oracle 5. Still lower than before but obviously they did a soft reset so I can live with that.

 

[wahmbulance]

my rank got fixed. +1 I even ranked up more.

The same exact thing happened to me. Is it fixed for you now? because I'm still emissary.

 

[Pkeloveyt]

this update seems to have fixed it. However there was a visual bug which still showed your old/wrong rank eventhough you had way higher MMR.

After deranking or upranking you will be shown the correct rank.

yes but wanted to see if trying new heroes would affect rank. It does......Never played Kelvin before, got queued in my same rank, got the shit kicked out of me, got flamed, ranked down, and now never trying a new hero again. just to show the system doesn't work. Yes its alpha but if they are trying to gather as much code as they can, this is not the right way to do it.
