Feast solo progression staling

[Maxwell]

Now that the hype train seems to have passed for the Feast, the days of steam rolling players unfamiliar with pvp feels also gone. My rank progression has stalled and doesn't move an inch with a 50/50 win rate and some times huge loss streaks back to square one.

Is my feeling of pointlessness and headbanging on a brick wall about solo ranked feast misplaced or shared by many ?

• Anyone has tricks for solo ranked progression such as time frames when to go or not ?
• Would a +100%/-60% (Win bonus /Lose penalty) be a reasonable improvement ?

You may have capped out where you need to be. Generally speaking if you should advance you will have around a 60-70% winrate.

Sorry. If you're thinking that someone has "Capped out where they need to be.", you haven't done enough Feast. Because there are a ton of literally unwinnable matches we find ourselves in. You can be the best PvPer in the world, you're not going to be able to carry bots, trolls, and AFKers. And that's not even going into the details of players who are just legitimately terrible at PvP, especially when they decide to Leeroy Jenkins the enemy base with 9 stacks... Or can't heal through a single melee on them... Or can't even spell DPS in PvE, let alone a PvP arena.

Look around, both here, and the subreddit. The number of posts complaining about bots who run rampant, hackers, and players who throw matches just to get quick Eso/Lore, have massively increased once people realized that the Feast was a very fast way to get your currency. Every match turns into a fight against RNG. Either you get the short end of the stick, and players who aren't even going to try to win, or the other team does. You start recognizing names of match throwers and bots. Just like you recognize the names of the players who are actually trying. Some matches, you see your party members, and shed a tear of relief. Others, you can only cry, as you watch a bot go stand in the middle of the arena, or an AFKer sit at your base. Or, in some very unlucky cases, you run into a hacker on the enemy team, even when your team is decent. Hard to beat someone who runs faster than any legit player can.

So, I would appreciate it greatly if you could find someplace to shove that "Where you need to be." attitude, when our own ability means absolutely squat in the face of the cesspit the ranked mode has become since release. Just ask the Gold players in one of the other threads here, asking to be demoted back to unranked, so that they could at least enjoy the Feast again.

Rings hollow considering i don't have control over 75% of the match factors.
