Placement is Broken
yes placement matches are based on luck but the rest is not.
if you end up high you can easely drop if you dont belong there once you restart playing. if you place low you should be happy because you will easely be able to stomp scrubs through the lower division with a 80%+ win ratio and farm gold rewards even faster until you reach your real division in about 1-5 days depending on how many games you play if you are a good player that dosent belong in that division.

I think you are wrong, if you place low, and when you starts playing and meet players that don’t know what to do, u won’t have 80% win rate. Bronze and silver is full of those players that can’t be carried.
Since you can’t carry the team, doesn’t matter if you are good or not, you won’t win it.

Nonsense….its easy to carry at low ratings.
Unless your skillevel is close to the rating where you are playing at (1500er playing at 1300 or 1400).
This entire season seems tainted. I had a 57% win rate last season. Started of the first 3 day of this season at the same. Got right into Gold 3 which seemed fine. Became annoyed quickly as the first 10 matches in gold was filled with past Legendary players. (Gold shouldn’t have PZ in them) It was fine afterwards for a couple days. Now the past 36 hours, I’m a 20-25%! That’s not my “skill” or anything about me as a player. It’s bad math in the match making. Now I’m stuck losing a week because that’s the only way we’ve ever been able to unfudge MMR hell in Anet’s system.

I like the system but I think I was placed higher than normal. I went 6-4 and was placed around 1430 I think. A friend of mine went 8-2 and places in silver somewhere. These were also my first non hotjoins since about August I think.

It’s not just about w/l in placement games, what you contribute to each match matters too in where you get put after those 10 matches.

I’ve seen people saying that, do you have a source?

I somehow managed to place in the top 5 after my placement matches (won 9 lost 1). Not really sure how I feel about that because I know I’m not good enough to be here at all. Now I’m really hesitant to play more matches because I’m probably going to get beat down to low /mid plat (where I probably belong) and that just won’t be fun to lose so many matches in a row.
Honestly I’d have preferred to have started low so I could climb instead of starting off high and being expected to fall.
However I’m also considering just playing once every 3 days and see how high I can end at.
Yeah just me, some PvE scrub who played auramancer during S1/2 coming back to get more shinies.
That’s misinformation and is untrue. Opponent and team rating plays in, personal contribution isn’t factored. Also your old rating gets soft reset by cutting it in half to forge your new rating.
I placed t1 silver since my rating was decayed due to skipping last season entirely. 66-70% win rate has me at t3 gold pushing platinum soon if I don’t get unlucky.

My bad. That’s not the case, but what your rating was before the soft reset is why the deviation is there. So, it’s still based on your actual skill obviously.

Gwaihir: I placed in Ruby last season (I just CBA to grind) but skipped the last few weeks of it. I was placed in Gold High t1 and after a few games are close to Platinum. I don’t personally think I’m Legendary tier, I’m just an avarage player, but I do think this system is a massive reality check for people.
