Problem:
I have literally had rank 1s, 2s, etc. who are completely new to pvp on my team in both solo queue and team queue. I am currently pvp (glory) rank 47 and leaderboard rank 500. So why am I getting people who are brand new to pvp (ranks 1, 2, 3, etc.) on my team? This leads me to believe that the system is completely flawed, or it is just completely random…which imo would still be completely flawed and needs overhauling ASAP.
Solution:
Please make it a requirement that in order to participate in tpvp (solo queue OR team queue) you must have first reached “X” pvp (glory) rank. Yes, I realize rank does not equate to skill, but I would much rather have someone on my team that has a remote clue than someone who does not. I had someone on my team the other day that was rank 2 and said they had only played the map we were on twice. They shouldn’t be matched with me to begin with, but they also shouldn’t be queuing for tpvp either. They need to get a clue about their class by practicing in hotmatches first. While I understand hotmatches are not exactly the same (far from competitive pvp), it atleast gives someone an opportunity to shake a stick at an opponent and learn what their abilities do!
Make it so one has to reach rank 15 or 20 to join tpvp. Or at a minimum rank 10. Allowing players to roll a character and go straight into a tournament match with out a clue is just a bad idea all together. That person will be severely ridiculed and they will be bringing down the other players on their team.
