yanniell.1236 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 So, every season I aim for the plat badge. After a dozens matches, I usually get there. Then, why would I keep queueing ranked games, when one loss equals one win, and all you can think next game is "well, if I win this one, I'll just get back where I was last game, if I lose, I'll need two wins in a row to come back to where I was. This "one step forward, one backwards" system...It's so boring and...really boring...When I'm on my way to plat, OK, I can put up with this system for a dozens matches, but after getting there? Why would I bother? Why would I put myself through this bs? I just do the decay matches and get over with it. I got as far as making a f2p account to queue with.That's smt I liked on the old pips system. There at least we had win streaks and sometimes you wold lose one pip and gain two next game or smt. Now? Now its just boring...lose 12, win 11, lose 10, win 11... zzZzZzZZZzAnd I wont even mention people at legend, winning 7 points and losing 21 or smt....

Namless.4028 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 because when you dont play for 3 days you will decay in rank (you get the points back when you play again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morwath.9817 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Ooo, play for fun and ignore rating, as you get better rewards per match in Ranked, or play Unranked for chillout games as Quaggan does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuhDah.9812 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Probably they feel like you need to have at least a 66% win rate for being in plat. 66% win rate = 33% (loss rate) x 2. That means 2 wins for 1 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagg.9236 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I just do it for one run through the Byzantium chest for the ascended tokens. Game's not good, I understand how you feel about it. It's rough just getting through this slog once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was then -43. Eventually stabilised to getting +2 to +5 and losses were 25-30. Really painful recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
