Never gonna get out of bronze!

It’s like if you didn’t play early your stuck with the bottom of the barrel almost made it out and had a streak of bad teams take me all the way back to bronze 3, This isn’t fun, your team just gets steam rolled and don’t regroup, don’t play the crystal at all, like its almost like they are throwing matches on purpose. Please if you don’t care about ranked then just play casual stop holding back others.

Play WHM, get your LB before the crystal even unlocks from mid and LB your way to victory. GG.

Even early on the matchmaking was plagued by mass DPS that don't have any teamwork at all, the only real solution is to either carry super hard as one of the better DPS or take Jobs like WHM and WAR and dictate the flow of the game.

After I got Gold with WHM I started to play Jobs I wanted to play and kept climbing.

Update I’m finally out of bronze and I did it with out changing class! Good riddance! Got a few lucky teams after and now I’m silver 2!

I find RDM to be the most consistent carry, currently win streaking in Platinum with it

yeah, pretty much. Despite the complaints about war and whm, the players in the top positions are playing rdm.

well I figured out if you label the other team with a ko order the players will most likely see who to ko first, that is a tank's responsibility to identify who is first on the ko list

simple: healers>DRG>SAM>NIN>MCH>RDM>others

this is what i use and have been trying to get people to figure this out

So pissed, so I'm just going to vent.

I'm seeing WHMs pat themselves on the back with 300k damage and 900k healing. Stop that. If your damage isn't as high as everyone else's, you're the reason the team lost.

Tired of seeing DPS with 200k~400k damage. Hitting a million+ damage and seeing the rest of my team at 500k is just depressing. This is with coordinated marks (that no one follows), samurais with 300k damage and red mages with 200k damage.

I had a Machinist yesterday with 90k damage. I got them a second time, looked at their buffs, and saw they were "Drill Ready" for the ENTIRE MATCH. I politely went to their server and actually had a decent conversation with them and they realized they never put Drill on their bar. Fifteen minutes later they were back in ranked queue and doubled their damage...to 200k.

If you are consistently lower damage than everyone else in ranked, go back to casual and practice. You're the reason your team lost.

Now that the toxicity is out of me, see you all on the battlefield and good luck, have fun to everyone!

Not going to lie this isn't the redeeming story it's (possibly?) painted out to be. This is like super red flag behavior imo.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I didn't play CC PvP the first few days, only started last weekend. Was stuck in bronze for 4 days. One win, one loss, two wins, some losses and so on and so forth. Until I decided to eff it and not play what I would love to play but switched to WHM. It's really sad. Silver now but really lost the motivation to continue and so I'm just gonna derp my way through the season pass for crystal trophies in casual mode and then let PvP rest until next season.

I have been messing with CC myself recently. Which is a surprise since I don't care for pvp to begin with. I keep myself in casual mode to avoid holding anyone back in rankings by me not playing very well since I'm not playing pvp seriously at all.

There are bad players even in higher ranks, i have seen terrible plat players and awesome bronze. The matchmaking system is trash and team comp to random doesn't help.
My JP mate switched to sam had 15 match winning streak and got to crystal after less than 50 games so imagine the noobs who got carried! With this system you could be best in world in game but due to bad luck be stuck in bronze.

You are right. Even switching to White Mage doesn't guarantee automatic wins. There is only so much one player can do when the team decides to spread out and go chase their respective counter parts, lol. Or, charge in 1v5. It's actually hilarious. I don't claim to be very good at PvP; I make mistakes like everyone and I'm also quite new to it all but I think I can already say that the playstyle of some folks defies all basic logic. So everyone stuck in bronze - you might not actually be bad but you definitely had bad luck with your team mates.

They were saying white mage because it has an easily abusable bug that is ungodly OP
other than that getting into gold is pretty much a crapshoot since you can't control who's on your team

probably got to silver-1 9 or 10 times then giant string of teams of what I could only describe as lemmings marching to their doom. Gold ain't much better either probably because it's like a 1 in 5 chance of just boosting someone that has no business there accidentally

You know the bug really isn’t useful at all against good teams later on, lots of you think the bug is instant trip ticket to crystal and that just isn’t true.
But I suppose you’re all in low ranks for a reason so it is what it is.

How does RDM even work in PVP. I understand there's black and white magic but of all the classes, that one absolutely had me scratching my head.

Its pretty straight forward. Dive in, debuff the enemy and do your melee combo, dive out and do some magic and stay away till you can do your combo again. Shift to white balance if you or your team needs some extra support in increased healing and what not.

Yeah, that reason is the matchmaking system is trash, the ranking system is trash, and luck is a major factor as to what rank you end up in.

Please don't do this. It is not effective strategy and actively messes with communication during the flow of battle.

Don't worry. Crystal plays are still playing like bronze. Everyone stacks and dives in without any positioning or counter play because the same 4 jobs just have the potential to wipe you. At least you get some diversity down there. Feel free to go look at any crystal player's stream. 0 decision making being made. I guess I'll go RDM and delete the enemy back line before the enemy RDM deletes mine.
