I don't like it right from the start. Seems like you have to play way too much to get anywhere high, I still think placements should be a thing. My second game played against huge sweats because of the hidden mmr which is broken, lost, and got disconnected right as the last round was ending. Great first day experience...
Rank 2.0 has been changed to a participation trophy. I have spent every season improving on my previous highest mmr and I was almost to diamond last season. It bothers me to my core that a actual Copper player could be Champion before myself as long as they have a higher win rate. There are no risk/rewards for playing ranked anymore.
@@joshuabranam7876 I dont think its only based off win rate you'll just rank up when you win and get matched up against people who have a similar skill rating which I think is based off KDA most likely
you've built your entire fortune on dunking on scrub players and you're complaining that you played against better players.. the irony lol. still love your content but sometimes your logic just gets me
Bro fr legit would face people who've been diamond since ranked was a thing. Meanwhile my team couldn't control their gun if their life depended on it. I went on a four game loosing streak
They potentially could have made this new ranked system to also combat cheating. The new system is based on “skill” so cheaters no matter what rank they are always have some ridiculous k/d so this means alot more cheaters will be getting into the same lobbies as each other
Well if that were the case a champ player who finally gets to play with their friends who aren’t good doesn’t have to Smurf and by playing with lower levels you obviously will get a ridiculous kd so it doesn’t really make sense while a champ can play with a copper like if it puts a champ into with cheaters what are they gonna do they will get their rank and kd smashed
I loved last season's Throw Stack(Champ Stack). Honestly pretty fun watching you all throw and win occasionally. Or maybe an IGL season. Where you jump on with a bunch of randoms and try and IGL them to victory.
Lmao yeah playing plats while being "ranked" bronze is kinda exhausting honestly. It kinda makes me feel like I'm garbage at the game despite knowing that rank doesn't really matter, like I can have a good game, but I have won 1 ranked game this season no matter how well I play. I wish they had this same system they use, but just actually show us our rank. Edit: I know this is a really late reply but this video just came across my feed lol.
I actually had a great start! No sweaty plats in my lobbies, no cheaters yet, people with the same skill level. I had fun, which I haven't had at all during the last 2 seasons.
Im having a similar issue i went from getting constant plat diamond matches were i was doing good, to now im getting silver and bronzes who dont know site setups
I got confused as well with my Thunderbird loadout. Same thing, I had Impacts equiped even though I only use C4 on her. Made me re-check every other op load out, and it only affected Thunderbird for some reason.
Why does Ubisoft always try and fix what’s not broken!? And when they do try and fix what’s broken they break something else! Like I don’t think anyone had a problem with the ranked system. Sure, we couldn’t play ranked with our trash friends but we have tdm and unranked and quick match… I really don’t understand the need for this new system. I feel like our rank doesn’t matter anymore and who we play against is based on a hidden skill level we can’t even see. I feel like that doesn’t make much sense. At least let us see this skill level. Idk I just think Ubisoft dropped the ball again, and I find it harder and harder to enjoy this game every season because some of the decisions Ubisoft make.
i was playing with my friends (they were gold last season) and we went up against a full stack of champions. we by some miracle won the game. i went positive
Okay, I was wondering about this too. I was gold last season but I’ve been getting absolutely obliterated in my ranked matches by diamond/plats. Maybe it will make me better in the long run, but it’s not very fun at the moment
Same here I'm below avg KD so I'm not rlly the best at getting kills but I thought I was super trash for the first few matches I always atleast get 1 kill if I'm gonna go negative but I just couldn't get a kill after the 3rd match that's when I started doing decent
I just disagree with the skill thing. Cause why make a whole new rank system when you can’t even play the entire community? Should be random no matter your previous rank.
@@void.UAR6 ik I had high hopes that they will make the ranking system better and a bit harder to where I can actually get better but now I'm playing against ppl who I can't even compete against so I barely learn anything, I mean I'm learning somethings but that's it somethings now ranked for me is unplayable since I'm either playin against plats or diamonds with negative KD's so it's makin me look bad even tho my KD is usually. 7 or .9 but still this shitty ranked system dropped my shit to .5, it makes me look like a copper at least even tho I'm a low gold who can frag off occasionally
I think it will be better as the season goes on. I think that at the beginning since everyone is in copper V it’s going to be all the sweaty champions playing but once they move up we won’t have to worry about it anymore
@@brettwanner669 as he said in the start your “rank” doesn’t matter queuing now or in a month won’t change anything if your own skill rating is the same
being copper doesnt do anything for matchmaking, its just for your progression through the season to try and max out your charms and rewards. If you are copper (where everyone starts now) you're not in copper level or against copper level, it uses the background MMR just like how casual works. Since you dont have placements anymore you're already playing against your rank what you are used to. For the past 2/3 years ive been plat 2/3 every single season, and when i did my first couple matches it was nothing but plats. So i'd say (at least for me so far) its working pretty well. You unlock your rewards through the (copper) system and you're already playing against what you are used to and need to be in. So no more sweaty annoying stuck in low rank matches
@@gekkehenk1673 honestly i think it almost tries to mathc yo in your "skill" lobies plus some im an average low plat player and my skills is no more then that but all my lobbies so far have been highplat diamond like with how varsity is having it here, i think it tries to put you in slightly higher level lobbies more then anything, still rather that then low level lobbies
I know Valorant uses a ranked system similar to this. If in Valorant a Silver player dominates other Silver players, he may go against Gold players, then eventually Plat players, while still technically being in Silver. I've seen a mid Gold player dominate Diamond lobbies before in Valorant to give an idea of what that kind of system does. It's a good way to help counter smurfs in Val, but of course doesn't get rid of them entirely. I didn't think that Siege would get a system like this, and I'm not sure it'll work as well in Siege. I'd be interested to get more details about how it works.
Something is definitely up with sound I can hear people when they lean and crouch from a good distance but I can’t hear people full sprinting 15 feet from me and I swear the audio from people running above is backwards like if they’re running to the left of me it sound like they’re running to the right if they’re on a different floor idk maybe I’m crazy but sum is off
The new ranked is essentially a Battle Pass (linear Progression). The "Battle Pass" seems the same-ish (100 lvls/tiles) but ppl can get the "rare" skins at lvl 45/54 -ish + bravo packs for free). The Ranked 2.0 is kinda mixed: On one side I got insta-matched with Plat Players (which I am), so it was sweatier then the earlier season vs Golds etc. - on the other Hand, it was nice to get Teammates that knew Bandit-Tricking, Rotates, Callouts, etc.
9:59 that "you need to be in a multiplayer session to invite friends" thing has been a problem since last season, we got around it by inviting thru the ubisoft connect app.
That rank/mmr separation was something I first saw in DBD, and it is one of the worst ideas they ever came out with. Not to mention no ranking system ever belonged to this game but yeah
Love the comradery I have for my PlayStation brothers. When I see the other team is all xbox/pc just adds fuel to the fire. Really brings the team together.
it does, quick match randomly loaded up gave me my team was xbox other team was playstation, my team slammed them and we all used comms for what feels like a year since most people use the mic to only bash you at the end. so we all used comms, and coordination to take the playstationers out, n we won the battle, our own console war if you will
8:43 dead by daylight actually has a very similar ranking system. your rank is just for end of the month reward & bragging rights, there’s a totally separate metric that determines who you go against.
The battle pass UI is definitely.. something. Like it would be super convenient if you could click on the tiles on the legend and it would take you to that part of the battle pass, or if you could click and drag the battle pass, or if you could zoom out on it. The arrow key/wasd navigation it has is super finicky and there are definitely times I'll push a direction and nothing will happen and I'll have to move a different direction to fix it. I don't mind the nonlinear battle pass but MW2 has a nonlinear battle pass that just works so much better in how its displayed and how you navigate it, this UI needs some serious work for future seasons.
Everyone forget the cross progression between all platforms which could also mean they combine the skill from each platform too (also I love having my skins from Xbox after so long finally lmaoo)
I hope you understand that at 7:40 , you weren’t able to see him because you were crouching instead of in the prone position ( which so woudlve enabled you to see him on the stairs ), that’s how it works lol
@VarsityGaming valorant uses the same type of ranking system where it puts you in lobbies where it thinks you belong regardless of your actual rank, im a solo q silver in val and i get put in low plat high diamond lobbies in val, they probably took inspo from it, although in val if you do really good in those lobbies you have the ability to double rank up from one match not sure if siege has that
The new ranked feels like siege the old ranked system when there was the 1000 mmr difference. It’s interesting to play up against anyone and fun when it’s a hard lobby(overtime ranked). However, the bad part is that five stacking is a must have because now you can get placed up against anyone(good or bad players).
I got the same problem. Only champs. I mean I was diamond 2 last season so I was fighting against champs last season too but now its champs on copper elo. If I beat them I can get to copper 3 which is worthless and if I lose I will only lose 9 mmr anyways. It feels like all the matches are worthless
OW2 is doing the same stupid thing. In season 1, if you were plat, you were automatically "decayed" like 2 tiers, so most plat players are now in silver. However, the hidden SR (MMR equivalent) still puts you against plat players. It IS NOT motivating to be in SILVER when you were plat facing plat players--each game is as hard as they were in plat and it makes no sense to have to climb out of silver while facing play SR/MMR players.
Dead by Daylight has a similar ranking system now, although it’s not very good, neither was the previous system. I get they’re totally different games but it seems like what Siege has will be work much better.
For the invites there’s a setting in general where you have to turn on crossplay matchmaking. If one person has it off while the other has it on invites will not work. Some games have it on by default and some have it off it’s completely random. That’s one fix that I know of
I wonder how it'll be after a few weeks once the champ level players win all these rounds and rank up super fast. in theory though, this does kind of fix smurfing since you can't derank anymore, you can only smurf for a certain amount of games before you're forced to either buy a new account or wait til the next season
12:30 what are you talking about? The sens "feels" faster on higher FOVs but it's just an illusion, in reality it is the exact same. It's the same with movement, it feels like you're zooming but that doesn't mean you move faster. Now different FOV can definitely screw over your muscle memory due to different feedback loop, but you can't say "my sens is lower" cause it isn't.
I quite literally burnt out from playing Siege through every single rank tier this season. I'm in Gold now and I'm burnt out again. I'll come back again in a week or whatever and get to Platinum, but then I'll burn out again.
I noticed the sound was louder when placing reinforcements for the first time, it was very clearly louder cause it almost kinda hurt. Not sure what they did, but I think I’ll try getting used to it
The real issue imo is the way they calculate the skill of players. If it's still being calculated through solely winning or losing then the games will be the exact same as last season. I don't care about my rank or my number, I care about playing games on teams that are roughly the same skill level. The previous ranked system was not accurate to players actual skill level, and I think what they need to do is find a better way to measure performance so that we can play fair games
From the last season I had very bad teammates... I couldn't get out from copper at all(I'm most likely gold-diamond rank) ... Then I just started to play for fun and waited for new season but guess what too many people reported me for no actual reason and got banned for 15 days and all my Stats are gone now... The thing is nowadays people are wayy too sensitive... When I tried to give advice or hints how to do or be better at some things then they immediately started trash talking against me that I can't carry their copper ass alone etc... It's just sad
honest, they need to get steps one step louder. many times people walk up to me behind and cant hear them. still have tried all different settings in audio
My first day was fairly good. Started off with 156 esport packs so I complete the battle pass straight away, also got twitch prime packs which were duplicates so I got free r6 credits. I didn’t play ranked 2.0 because new season = new bugs & other problems. This season it was fps drops, only for a second but it was consistently happening every 2-3 minutes. Other than that I actually enjoyed playing the game which definitely hasn’t been the case for a while.
It's probably gonna be the same as Apex Legends where new season rush has everyone playing hence you find high level players in low level lobbies It'll probably get better in a week or two.
Dead by Daylight has a similar ranking system where the mmr is hidden and your rank is completely seperate, obviously less of a competitive game but that’s what I thought of when I heard of ranked 2.0
My main problem with sbmm is that you can't see it and no info on what it counts as skill. For Honor at least had a number and told you in the lobby that people were higher, lower, or equal skill to you. Then again, showing the number makes it easier for reverse boosters to know what position to stay in to get the easier lobbies.
For Honor MMR is terrible too though, at a certain point it put me against enemies of such a higher skill level that I literally couldn’t play the game anymore because the game thought I was amazing or something. Shit spread like a virus the last time a friend roped me back in for a couple matches, and now he can only play on his smurf account without sweating 24/7.
I don't use chat when I play and I went from respectable reputation to disruptive with a 30 game penalty for chat. Again, I don't use chat. I guess when the other team gets angry at you they can just send a 5 player report bomb and completely mess up your reputation. Great system, cant wait to get perma ban in 3 games
Got modern warfare 2 yesterday, I play ONE MATCH. The next match I play I was put in lobbies with max levels and all sweating. I still did better then all of them, but i hate the I was forced to sweat at level 4 with no gun or attachments and still win. Skill match making sucks when your good but never played the game. Now I'm nervous to know my real skill states on rb6 and not my squad stack skills. As in I'm a Plat in a bronze lobbies because I cant carry every match with 18 kills... while my teammate eat glue. so now here's the question? am i still a Plat but now in Plat lobbies and still probably have glue eaters as teammates.
Excited for the new season. Hopefully ranked is actually fun or ubi tweaks it. I really don’t wanna get shit on in ranked all season. I doubt my skill level is that high but who knows with siege. Cosmetics are waaay bettter looking at least! I’d love to see some ranked tips and tricks and more strats from you. Maybe break down how to play maps or objectives maybe? Feel like you can break down what your doing really well.
I didn’t hear guy running next to as senz prior to buff and yesterday neither did Hibana heard me walking literally behind her like a shadow for 20 second starting but yea I don’t hear footsteps loud enough to react most of the time
I definitely have been having sound issues for sure!! Yesterday I had a guy lay down outside of a wooden barricade and move over brake a piece of the barricade and still not once hear him,he killed me and I thought he was cheating but had to watch the replay and say wtf how didn’t I hear him. So yes definitely sound issues!! 😂😅
8:40 its this way in dead by daylight. Every month there's like 20 rank things u can progress through for some bonus stuff. Ur skill rating/mmr is hidden and they use that value to match players.
I have the same problem. Was plat/gold mostly now am copper. Plus I have seen another thing where I see blood when I shoot them but in the end they didnt loose health at all when i died.
I hated it at first, coppers and diamonds together, but around bronze it became more balanced been going against people in my rank as high plat and low diamond from previous sessions.
Havent touched ranked yet but hopefully the change will mean I will actually be put in the correct skill level this season. Got silver once and all of last season i ended up in constant plat lobbies due ti the nonstop smurfs.... so tired of not being able to enjoy the game. Hopefully it will be actually enjoyable this time
I’m not sure what’s going on with me and Siege nowadays. I can barely tolerate up to two hours of the game without feeling burned out, irritated, etc. My friends and I haven’t played in about a month because last season was simply ass. One friend complains about the game, it’s features, and Ubisoft as a whole before we even start a game. I was having a little fun for like 30-45 mins as we played the discovery playlist then immediately started feeling annoyed by even small inconveniences until I asked to play Overwatch instead. Maybe I’m tired of the game after 2000+ hours?
I no longer have the incentive to “git gud”. Now I make dumb plays more often, have shitty aim compared to other shooters, and feel ready to quit the game for the day if we suspect a cheater.
I'm a high plat, low diamond player...matched against full stack high diamond and champ players in my first 15 matches, still managed a 2kd and won most of the matches but caught off guard since I had to try hard to carry my weight which was ridiculous compared to my norm
hey its like me and all my solo queue teamates being gold last season and everyone on the other team being diamond 1 players every game! Matchmaking moment
ive had the same issue, i keep getting champ and diamond players while ive only hit plat, now i can't barely ever rank above emerald 5 because it keeps quing up against same tier enemies and i don't get why, i'm not that good and my kd is below 1 around 0,75 and it still keeps quing up against same skill lvl players. it's super sweathy compared to the past and i don't enjoy it as much
They should have just added a button to press or a tab where you can just see everything by category that you can unlock in the battle pass, this way, since their battle pass is kinda weird and hard to navigate, it would've been way easier to look at all the juicy stuff you could unlock
Eh it’s pretty easy to navigate it’s just confusing at first. Once you understand it; it’s pretty simple Honestly prefer it because it gives you choices
This session is already starting bad the battle pass isn’t working at all I feel like every time they update this game it just never works the way it should it’s annoying but VG good vid keep up ur content
Apex does the same thing, MMR and Rank in Apex Arenas ranked works the same as seen in this video actually, you could be bronze but still play against pred level players, and if you continue to lose, you will eventually play with lower tiers like plat or diamond but will rarely drop to silver/gold.
"But i can't blame the system because it probably see's my varsity gaming charm and just assumes i'm champ level-" skips 10 seconds "-Turns out that might not be entirely true" Whoops lol
What do you guys think of the new ranked system?
We are trying it out more on stream right now: twitch.tv/varsitygaming

The arrow key/wasd navigation it has is super finicky and there are definitely times I'll push a direction and nothing will happen and I'll have to move a different direction to fix it. I don't mind the nonlinear battle pass but MW2 has a nonlinear battle pass that just works so much better in how its displayed and how you navigate it, this UI needs some serious work for future seasons.
Everyone forget the cross progression between all platforms which could also mean they combine the skill from each platform too (also I love having my skins from Xbox after so long finally lmaoo)
I hope you understand that at 7:40 , you weren’t able to see him because you were crouching instead of in the prone position ( which so woudlve enabled you to see him on the stairs ), that’s how it works lol
I'm only in silver-gold player but I'm only facing plats and diamonds on console it's incredibly weird
@VarsityGaming valorant uses the same type of ranking system where it puts you in lobbies where it thinks you belong regardless of your actual rank, im a solo q silver in val and i get put in low plat high diamond lobbies in val, they probably took inspo from it, although in val if you do really good in those lobbies you have the ability to double rank up from one match not sure if siege has that
The new ranked feels like siege the old ranked system when there was the 1000 mmr difference. It’s interesting to play up against anyone and fun when it’s a hard lobby(overtime ranked). However, the bad part is that five stacking is a must have because now you can get placed up against anyone(good or bad players).
I got the same problem. Only champs. I mean I was diamond 2 last season so I was fighting against champs last season too but now its champs on copper elo. If I beat them I can get to copper 3 which is worthless and if I lose I will only lose 9 mmr anyways. It feels like all the matches are worthless
OW2 is doing the same stupid thing. In season 1, if you were plat, you were automatically "decayed" like 2 tiers, so most plat players are now in silver. However, the hidden SR (MMR equivalent) still puts you against plat players. It IS NOT motivating to be in SILVER when you were plat facing plat players--each game is as hard as they were in plat and it makes no sense to have to climb out of silver while facing play SR/MMR players.
This has been my experience too, right at Copper V & had the most sweaty matches in my life.
Chalet last round was brutal💀
Dead by Daylight has a similar ranking system now, although it’s not very good, neither was the previous system. I get they’re totally different games but it seems like what Siege has will be work much better.
I’ve had the same problem my first ranked game I had plat teammates and faced champs
3:45 how did ash kill herself wtf😭😭😭
For the invites there’s a setting in general where you have to turn on crossplay matchmaking. If one person has it off while the other has it on invites will not work. Some games have it on by default and some have it off it’s completely random. That’s one fix that I know of
I totally saw that coming. Poor actual copper/bronze players are going to be stuck against champ stacks for a while every new season.
Who tought this battlepass progress was a good idea :') It's even worse than the COD one.
I wonder how it'll be after a few weeks once the champ level players win all these rounds and rank up super fast. in theory though, this does kind of fix smurfing since you can't derank anymore, you can only smurf for a certain amount of games before you're forced to either buy a new account or wait til the next season
12:30 what are you talking about? The sens "feels" faster on higher FOVs but it's just an illusion, in reality it is the exact same. It's the same with movement, it feels like you're zooming but that doesn't mean you move faster.
Now different FOV can definitely screw over your muscle memory due to different feedback loop, but you can't say "my sens is lower" cause it isn't.
A ranked series would be cool, Varsity. I think the high elo opponents will go away in the coming days because they rank up. Give it a try please!
@diego74965 I get what you’re saying but the gd players skill set go up and bad players down so you won’t keep playing the same level
My team is always worse than me and the enemy always equal or better
I quite literally burnt out from playing Siege through every single rank tier this season.
I'm in Gold now and I'm burnt out again.
I'll come back again in a week or whatever and get to Platinum, but then I'll burn out again.
I noticed the sound was louder when placing reinforcements for the first time, it was very clearly louder cause it almost kinda hurt. Not sure what they did, but I think I’ll try getting used to it
The real issue imo is the way they calculate the skill of players. If it's still being calculated through solely winning or losing then the games will be the exact same as last season. I don't care about my rank or my number, I care about playing games on teams that are roughly the same skill level. The previous ranked system was not accurate to players actual skill level, and I think what they need to do is find a better way to measure performance so that we can play fair games
From the last season I had very bad teammates... I couldn't get out from copper at all(I'm most likely gold-diamond rank) ... Then I just started to play for fun and waited for new season but guess what too many people reported me for no actual reason and got banned for 15 days and all my Stats are gone now... The thing is nowadays people are wayy too sensitive... When I tried to give advice or hints how to do or be better at some things then they immediately started trash talking against me that I can't carry their copper ass alone etc... It's just sad
same experience here, hit chamo once, played 3 pros in 7 games so far
honest, they need to get steps one step louder. many times people walk up to me behind and cant hear them. still have tried all different settings in audio
My first day was fairly good. Started off with 156 esport packs so I complete the battle pass straight away, also got twitch prime packs which were duplicates so I got free r6 credits. I didn’t play ranked 2.0 because new season = new bugs & other problems. This season it was fps drops, only for a second but it was consistently happening every 2-3 minutes. Other than that I actually enjoyed playing the game which definitely hasn’t been the case for a while.
It's probably gonna be the same as Apex Legends where new season rush has everyone playing hence you find high level players in low level lobbies
It'll probably get better in a week or two.
Dead by Daylight has a similar ranking system where the mmr is hidden and your rank is completely seperate, obviously less of a competitive game but that’s what I thought of when I heard of ranked 2.0
My main problem with sbmm is that you can't see it and no info on what it counts as skill. For Honor at least had a number and told you in the lobby that people were higher, lower, or equal skill to you. Then again, showing the number makes it easier for reverse boosters to know what position to stay in to get the easier lobbies.
For Honor MMR is terrible too though, at a certain point it put me against enemies of such a higher skill level that I literally couldn’t play the game anymore because the game thought I was amazing or something. Shit spread like a virus the last time a friend roped me back in for a couple matches, and now he can only play on his smurf account without sweating 24/7.
I swear my teammates all got the game for Christmas while the entire enemy team is seal team six
I don't use chat when I play and I went from respectable reputation to disruptive with a 30 game penalty for chat. Again, I don't use chat. I guess when the other team gets angry at you they can just send a 5 player report bomb and completely mess up your reputation. Great system, cant wait to get perma ban in 3 games
Got modern warfare 2 yesterday, I play ONE MATCH. The next match I play I was put in lobbies with max levels and all sweating. I still did better then all of them, but i hate the I was forced to sweat at level 4 with no gun or attachments and still win.
Skill match making sucks when your good but never played the game. Now I'm nervous to know my real skill states on rb6 and not my squad stack skills. As in I'm a Plat in a bronze lobbies because I cant carry every match with 18 kills... while my teammate eat glue. so now here's the question? am i still a Plat but now in Plat lobbies and still probably have glue eaters as teammates.
Excited for the new season. Hopefully ranked is actually fun or ubi tweaks it. I really don’t wanna get shit on in ranked all season. I doubt my skill level is that high but who knows with siege. Cosmetics are waaay bettter looking at least!
I’d love to see some ranked tips and tricks and more strats from you. Maybe break down how to play maps or objectives maybe? Feel like you can break down what your doing really well.
I have the same problem, my teammates are litterly castle and just cast the bombs what is annoying and the enemies are diamonds or something
I didn’t hear guy running next to as senz prior to buff and yesterday neither did Hibana heard me walking literally behind her like a shadow for 20 second starting but yea I don’t hear footsteps loud enough to react most of the time
This gonna take cooper to diamond to a whole new lvl
I definitely have been having sound issues for sure!! Yesterday I had a guy lay down outside of a wooden barricade and move over brake a piece of the barricade and still not once hear him,he killed me and I thought he was cheating but had to watch the replay and say wtf how didn’t I hear him. So yes definitely sound issues!! 😂😅
I love you’re videos bro, idk why but when I watch you’re vids they are always amazing!! Keep it up❤
8:40 its this way in dead by daylight. Every month there's like 20 rank things u can progress through for some bonus stuff. Ur skill rating/mmr is hidden and they use that value to match players.
I have the same problem. Was plat/gold mostly now am copper. Plus I have seen another thing where I see blood when I shoot them but in the end they didnt loose health at all when i died.
I hated it at first, coppers and diamonds together, but around bronze it became more balanced been going against people in my rank as high plat and low diamond from previous sessions.
it's basing the hidden rank on the rank you stayed at last season, but I also feel like I'm getting to hard enemies
Havent touched ranked yet but hopefully the change will mean I will actually be put in the correct skill level this season. Got silver once and all of last season i ended up in constant plat lobbies due ti the nonstop smurfs.... so tired of not being able to enjoy the game. Hopefully it will be actually enjoyable this time
Dead by Daylight employed a similar matchmaking system somewhat recently, though it's not exclusive to a ranked mode like it is here
I thought I was going crazy thinking that my FOV was off. Glad I’m not the only one lol
Finally a streamer being realistic lol. All I see on Twitter is ppl praising the new season
I mean the thing about new players is, they can't even Ranked until Cleareance Level 50. Which is a bunch of hours of grinding anyway.
Something I noticed in the new season on PS4 is that the graphics are higher, and movement seems to have been changed also.
It’s rough as hell first couple matches. The game thinks I’m too good and I’m out here taking Ls.
I’m not sure what’s going on with me and Siege nowadays. I can barely tolerate up to two hours of the game without feeling burned out, irritated, etc. My friends and I haven’t played in about a month because last season was simply ass. One friend complains about the game, it’s features, and Ubisoft as a whole before we even start a game. I was having a little fun for like 30-45 mins as we played the discovery playlist then immediately started feeling annoyed by even small inconveniences until I asked to play Overwatch instead. Maybe I’m tired of the game after 2000+ hours?
I no longer have the incentive to “git gud”. Now I make dumb plays more often, have shitty aim compared to other shooters, and feel ready to quit the game for the day if we suspect a cheater.
Copper to Diamond with friends, getting a feel for the skill system n shit before doing either Copper to Diamond or Champ Crew properly next season
I'm a high plat, low diamond player...matched against full stack high diamond and champ players in my first 15 matches, still managed a 2kd and won most of the matches but caught off guard since I had to try hard to carry my weight which was ridiculous compared to my norm
hey its like me and all my solo queue teamates being gold last season and everyone on the other team being diamond 1 players every game! Matchmaking moment
ive had the same issue, i keep getting champ and diamond players while ive only hit plat, now i can't barely ever rank above emerald 5 because it keeps quing up against same tier enemies and i don't get why, i'm not that good and my kd is below 1 around 0,75 and it still keeps quing up against same skill lvl players. it's super sweathy compared to the past and i don't enjoy it as much
It sounded so good and i was hyped for this new rank system, but it's Ubisoft, there's always a catch that ruins the entire thing.
you should make an account and do like a grind to level 50 and then do your ranked and you aren’t aloud to use usd on that account just straight grind
I've had the same thing i lost 7 games out of 9 games this is ridiculous
Bro the Rob comments always get me 😂
saw one of the teammates wearing a Kix charm. As much as I want to be good with my varsity charm, I wear the Kix charm to honor a true siege champ.
yes the audio is different i feel like at times i can’t hear footsteps at all whether how loud or quiet they actually are being
I hopped into my first TDM game and immediately played my FIRST cheater. Not even trying to hide it, crazy shit.
They should have just added a button to press or a tab where you can just see everything by category that you can unlock in the battle pass, this way, since their battle pass is kinda weird and hard to navigate, it would've been way easier to look at all the juicy stuff you could unlock
Eh it’s pretty easy to navigate it’s just confusing at first. Once you understand it; it’s pretty simple
Honestly prefer it because it gives you choices
What do you expect from early season? I learned to expect it will always be bad on early season. Wait for midseason for things to be stable.
13:28 Shame. If that was his play style then he should’ve practice defending the defuser from underneath with frag grenades.
This session is already starting bad the battle pass isn’t working at all I feel like every time they update this game it just never works the way it should it’s annoying but VG good vid keep up ur content
It wouldn't be a new season without something going wrong
Apex does the same thing, MMR and Rank in Apex Arenas ranked works the same as seen in this video actually, you could be bronze but still play against pred level players, and if you continue to lose, you will eventually play with lower tiers like plat or diamond but will rarely drop to silver/gold.
Hey, remember when Chris missed the default cam on Chalet with the Gonne-6?
"But i can't blame the system because it probably see's my varsity gaming charm and just assumes i'm champ level-" skips 10 seconds
"-Turns out that might not be entirely true"
Whoops lol
