Lost all enjoyment with Crystalline Conflict

[Lorianah]

I play MCH in CC now and for the past 2 seasons have reached Crystal. I haven't done much once I got there but I enjoyed the challenge of getting there.

Now - I can't get out of Gold 4. 2 wins - into 3 losses consistantly. It's ridiculous. Being matched with bronze and unranked players who decide running in and suiciding over and over is their best chance at success. Those levelling jobs they have absolutely no idea how to play. Not using LBs nothing.

This matchmaking is awful. SE need to consider removing levelling from RANKED play. Casual 100% should have it. Why are golds being matched with Bronze and Unranked? It's insane.

Rant over. I used to love this game mode now I really hate it.

Maybe you were never a crystal player.

Why be so toxic for someone sharing feedback and experience? Why instead of being nasty not share something constructive? Is this not the place to share feedback in the hope it's heard?

Try getting Plat on warrior.

I'm am sorry you're no longer enjoying CC. I'd suggest either a break, a change of class, or taking winrate less seriously - there's a reason it's not officially tracked. You already spiked into crystal, after all, so the rewards won't change.

To be honest with you - I didn't take the winrate seriously until this season and I've been banging my head against this gold rank. It didn't feel anything like this during season 1. The odd game that I actually get into a gold/plat split (as opposed to the only gold amongst a bunch of bronze and unranked) - I really enjoy - it's the team fights, people being aware of whats going on, priority targets etc. I don't even care if I'm winning or losing. The games are fun.

The bit that's taking it away is the fact that when you're put in groups of people who clearly don't have a clue. I don't claim to be amazing and I only stated the fact I got to crystal in prior seasons to illustrate that I have at least some understanding of how to play. But, I just think it's crazy that people are being put in groups with people essentially 3 ranking brackets below?

I'm definitely going to try the advice of yourself and yaba_gabagool to try a different job and see how that goes.

I don't intend for it to be mean, but it's something you should genuinely consider.

Are you sure you didn't hit Crystal before because the game allows you to keep throwing yourself at a wall with no deranks?

Another thing to consider, when you were below gold you were queued with the same ranks - yet you reached gold.

Also, the enemy team can have these players, too.

I never claimed to be amazing - it was more a illustration that I at least have some knowledge of how to play. I don't actually expect to hit crystal this season because I probably won't put the effort in to do so as I have in the previous two seasons. I'll be aiming for higher plat/low dia so that I can enjoy my matches and have fun.

I also never claimed that getting to gold was fun either - in fact it was as horrible as it is now. The difference is I accept that as a bronze or silver rank - I should be matched with bronze and silver and even unranked. I don't accept being matched with bronze and unranked at gold. I do not remember being matched with lower ranks such as this when climbing in season 1? I'm sure it's equally frustrating for someone who is bronze trying to learn to play the format and/or their job the other way around. I would take a longer queue time if it meant right now the ranks were like -1/+1.

My post was also after talking with other people who enjoy the format losing interest this season for the exact same reason. I generally don't post to the forums but I was sure how else to get feedback through.

I would take a break from it cause that’s what I’m doing for weeks now. I just can’t get my mind off the demotion system and I myself was crystal rank for the last 2 seasons, main SCH. So I’m on bronze 2 as of saying this. I’ve just lost interest, don’t feel the drive for this season.

Highly recommend putting it down for a bit/taking a break for a bit if you feel stuck, I just started a week ago, hit diamond just to drop all the way back to plat 3 because of poor playing, tilt and some interesting matchmaking (getting silver and diamond in the same match) so I’m taking a break xD it’s supposed to be fun, not TOO stressful
