Ranked feast is...

[Takatsuki]

Starting later makes it easier to rank up since the system fills you into plat+ games as soon as you enter silver+
Also if you can't climb out of low elo when you dont even need to have a positive winrate then you probably dont deserve it.

There will be much more unranked/bronze this season so you'll be constantly matched with them as silver. Everyone is rushing now to high ranks so they can afk as soon as possible. It looks like nobody from previous Top 100 enjoys The Feast now.

Correct!

Doesn't mean it's any less annoying that being able to burst someone solo was taken away.

It's still a shit fest, it's a possible to climb shit fest, but that doesn't mean it's any less annoying to do so now compared to before.

Before you could literally carry yourself out. Now, yes, you will eventually climb but it isn't as satisfying as it was before since now you have Tom Dick and Harry doing their first match and you have no way to tell them not to los you and who to target and, more importantly, WHY to target them.

Yeah its a pile of trash, whoever thought of this feast system deserves to be fired.

...a clown fiesta.

Seriously. SE took away the potential to solo carry out of low ranks.

They are forcing us to HAVE to work as a team to win against even the lowest skilled player...but they take away our chat?

Bad healer? Dead
Bad ranged that won't focus? No one on enemy team dies
Bad melee that doesn't know his left from his right and charges in? Grats, you have a feeder and he cant even get kills.
Bad tank? Enemy is free casting.

How do we fix this? I have no clue. I LOVED PvP before 4.0, but i HATED the queue times. Now we have fast queues but it isn't even fun to have to count on your teammate that's playing his 2nd ranked match ever and doesn't know his left from his right.

Why would allowing one type of role (possibly 2) be fair in solo carrying? Why would you want to make PvP worse? Quit if this new style bothers you so much. Don't need people like you trying to bring back Melee carrying games.

snip

healers can solo carry out of lower ranks just fine right now. Melee can too(not samurai) if you can 100-0 the healer on the enemy team the moment they get CC'd since healers aren't taking defense. If they are just kill the ranged/melee/weaker player till their defense wears off. Ranged can too (not rdm, unsure of blm, seems like its tossup with them), tanks can too (not warrior).

Seeing the trend?

basically these jobs can carry out of low ranks up to high ranks easy.(some easier than others) based on my experience/opinion anyway

SCH/ WHM
PLD/DRK
MNK/DRG/NIN
SMN/BRD

if you play anything else you will have the hardest time laddering as there are so many problems on the other jobs that they can not function well enough with bad team mates in the current patch. Some of them look great on paper till you actually play them too.

of course it should go without saying that if you have a very bad healer or someone DC's you may as well just get ready for the next game.(and take note of their name to exploit their weakness later) A lot of healers seem to freak out and leave their team behind running away from a tank/melee and it's causing a lot of deaths that could be avoided otherwise. There really is a lot going on in this new mode. its not balanced, certain things are too punishing and some jobs literally can 0-100 in 3 seconds if they know how to play. There's currently a huge gap between a good player and an outstanding player due to the new system.
