why not just add a "smurf" button until matchmaking is fixed?

i spent about 50 hours learning the game and getting permastuck into initiate 2. I think this is the case for lots of people who end up losing 50/50. even if you are good it might not be enough to carry the team especially if you are teamed up with new players or even bad players.

Why not just give everyone a button that resets their rank to 0 so they can use the skills they accumulated to get placed a bit better?

at least until the ranking system is fixed/rethought

Because they're too busy buffing random stuff instead of fixing MM

there is actually a setting for it, it's in Game -> Matchmaking, a "reset" button makes 0 sense, also why the fu*k would they care about that now, the game is not even out yet, also if you're perma stuck initiate I am not sure if the system is the issue here buddy

Did you pay attention to what you said? No. The game is not fine. The game is playable. That's the only truth. Dev's, in a post, maybe over a year ago, instituted rank because the players wanted it as a reason to keep playing. You're right, the game is in beta, and constantly changing. Yet, with rank, people conflate skill, defining it and having it, with whatever the meta is with play style direction, characters, and items. Having a functioning MM is paramount to Rank, otherwise interest in playing dies. Having 1 team stacked with meta over a lesser team isn't skill. It's called an ego boost to keep you playing while leaving a comment like,"EZ," at the end of a match.

I can confirm that there are people who are Ascendent and even Eternus ending up in Oracle. Also, there is footage of someone who lost their first 7 games and ended up in Oracle 1. After rework, the games were better until I started getting teammates who, well, were less toxic, but were absolutely lacking in macro and micro sense. I have positive KDA, good farm, good contribution, and suddenly I'm going from high oracle down to mid oracle.

I am improving, I focus on improving myself, as that is what matters, but the matchmaking is getting worst. Egostical players are the worst, they will defend the most dogshit calls, or when you're like "okay, let's discuss how to win" and they're just being constantly passive aggressive. To be fair, after rework, the toxicity seem to have went down.

I've dealt with 2 smurfs, and 1 hacker in my oracle games. Oracle to Phantom is legitimate elo and ego hell. I hate it, but I love this game too much to quit. I will keep playing until eventually my skill should be enough to catapult into elite mmr.

I agree, he's a chud, and I'm a chud. I'm a PROUD CHUD.

Chud = unit based chad.
