Solo Feast Ranking explained!

Oh there is a Gold or Platinum Player? Damn he must have had good RNG!

Oh there is a Bronze or Silver Player? Damn he must have had bad RNG!

Thats it.

If you get experienced Players in your Team you win.
If you get new players or unexperienced Players you loose.

Thank you SE, Thank you. It really shows how much skill one has when everything depends on RNG.

Since Premade Feast is only for Wintraders, could you at least fix the matchmaking in Solo? That would be great!

Regards (A disapointed healer with insane numbers of newcomers and unexperienced teammates)

Silver and bronze players don't have bad rng, they get -15 for a loss and +25 for a win. Anyone can grind gold with some semblance of skill, holding onto it is another story.

I wanna see you win with 2 newcomers in your team against 1 platinum an 3 Golds.

Feast is entirely RNG.

That actually isn't possible unless you have two very high rated platinum players on ur team including yourself and even then the other teams platinum would have to be on the low end of the tier as well. I don't know what you get from making up something you clearly never experienced.

OP I don't see why you're complaining. You are not even in the rank where the RNG punishes you yet.
In fact you are more likely to be paired with the good dps if you're not above the 800 or whatever you are at. If you are playing healer there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be getting carried if nothing else to gold or to the qualifier atleast.

No one denies that there are problems with the current state of feast but there are plenty of us healers that have achieved top 20 plus.
We, like you, get just as frustrated by the hand we draw for our matches.. but we didn't rank up by giving up at our first failed qualifier.. or after losing 150+ rating on some days.

If you want to continue this season you are going to have to deal with the knowledge that this is the current state of the solo que environment and complaining on the forums about it isn't going to get you that top 100 glamour.

There is no skill when you get que'd with our favorite lalafell as your healer.

I'm sorry Tira but as a non-healer you need at least a bit of luck to get a decent healer on your party. After that comes the skill. DPSs can be carried by other DPS. Tanks can be carried by the party. Skillful healers with low rank can be boosted while a healer with low skill cannot be carried.

People don't remember, but when I first got 1100, I only played Warrior with a 70% Winrate :(.

I then realized that MM sucks, tanks can't carry, and dropped to 600 playing whm... The grind back was real.

If I ever get plat, I'll make an alt for each role and report back

So when 2 people write "Hi first timer" and both had not even bronze.... should have screened it.

The salt is real with RNG, funny there are games I end up loosing and the other team have a unranked healer or a bronze healer and im thinking my team have a gold this and a gold that, we should win easily, until we get stomp. And yes I am a career silver, aint nothing wrong with that.

The matchmaking, with all its deficiencies, still at least evens out the ratings on both teams, so either you had a super high ranked player or they had similarly ranked players. You won't get a situation where 4 platinum players get matched against 4 unranked players, it simply isn't possible. Now, it is entirely possible that the players skill weren't reflected by their ratings because they're late comers or don't play much and that's when matches are unbalanced. I think we all agree that's the reason why they should have kept unranked and bronze players away from gold matches. SE might have figured this was a lesser evil than long queues due to small player pool side.

Please don't go and name people on the forums. That's a quick way to a ban.

Was just a quick rant on getting queued 4 times in a row having 2min matches with that person on my team because they can't heal.

Also, the new rating system is to somehow help on bad MM until you get Gold. I expect even more changes for next season.

Well we were 1 Platinum 1 silver and 2 newcomers, so that Platinum must have had a silly high rating as you say.

MM this season sucks. We all know it.

With that said, people need to stop complaining about getting low ranked and just deal with it, try to carry their asses, and move on. Don't waste time bitching. Advice is fine, but raging only makes you play worse as well as distract your team.

Games with new players are a mess, but definitely winnable. I've won just as many (or more) matches with brand new healers as I've lost with them. They'll die a lot, but the enemy team won't get a win by killing healer 1000 times. Just play smart, stay by your side of the map, and hope that that new healer can at least keep you semi-alive while you kill someone.

To everyone complaining about getting bad healers:
Good healers have to deal with (most of the time) stronger dps on the other team. There's not really a 1 role is best to carry on. Play what you want and you will climb if you deserve it. Yes match making sucks but you don't see any of the top players complaining.

Yeah but if you get a kill and manage somehow to babysit your team enough to get no deaths, you still win easier than being a DPS dying over and over because of a bad healer. Not saying its wonderful to be a good healer on solo queue, its just a bit easier to gain ranking as one.

I can believe the first part, however the part about the other team having a platinum and straight gold players isn't.

This made me giggle lol. 9 out of 10 matches get thrown into culling time, or double culling time, or triple culling time. At best, "strong dps" is the golden unicorn of Feast. When you see it, it's majestic and beautiful creature, but you can search the entire season and not find it.

And now I'm outright laughing lol. Complaints might not be common right now, late in the season, but perhaps you're forgetting some of the venom that was being thrown around earlier in the season? Top tier players are certainly not an exception.
