    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.

    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.
