I popped off in placements. I won 4 out of 5 games, got 98 kills, 57k damage, 11 min in fire (my placement games took 50 min), and I had many 3-4K ults. I worked with my team, made many call outs, and placed bronze... wtaf.
I had the exact same fucjinf problem. Me and my boyfriend just did all of our placements together, same games and he placed over 1000 SR higher than me, he’s just about to get into diamond.... how the fuck
Yep... I won all placement matches, done 15k+ healing every game, had 30+ kills and less then 2 deaths in each game (sometimes more), and still only placed bronze on support. (i play lucio btw)
My first time doing support placements I got platinum playing lucio and I'm not really even sure how, I just stood near the point healing my team and I won 4/5 matches.
Heal more, have more objective time = higher rank= better teammates. If you were really doing good as a support you would get a high rank. Your teammates are just as bad as the enemy, you are the only deciding factor. I hear this excuse all the time from support players. Just imagine you and 5 bots are playing against 6 bots. (AI) who's gonna win? The answer is the same for comp
Kryptie that doesn't take into account the ebb and flow of players in the lower ranks. You're assuming that gold and platinum players are all similar in skill. When they really aren't at all. Especially with role queue, there are some absolutely terrible plat dps and some really good plat dps. Yes you can do your best but stop tryna act like Ow Isn't a TEAM game. Its about the team not yourself. You can only do so much, especially if you're soloing.
@@lavahawk_1729 No, it isn't. I'm playing characters I don't typically play. I can't play genji at a high level. How is playing genji in silver when I'm a masters tank and support playing smurfing? Next. I play dps and hog at lower ranks. Characters I can't play.

I want to be gold!!! PLEASE BLIZZARD!! Teammates without microphone, doesn't stay in payload (just imagine a Tracer sitting in the payload, cuz all the team is away. Well, that's me) healers that doesn't heal... Welcome to silver (1900 SR)
i think my biggest issue with the sr system is the idea of being brought down by past ranks. the last time i played comp was in season 3 where i ranked silver, but i continued to practice on quick play every day since then, and tended to get nothing but gold medals every game, and so imagine my shock when i got placed into high silver/low gold (1995 sr) and now i feel like my past rank in comp 3/4 years ago has dragged my sr down
I recently broke out of Elo hell (stuck around 18-1900) and now I’m mid plat - anyone struggling you’ll get your break eventually and trust me it’s smooth sailing from then onwards
This might be controversial but i think blizzard should change the whole competitive system, at the moment it works on how your team goes, if you play really good but your team screws around the whole match then you lose SR even though you played your role. It should be if you play good you get SR, e.g if your playing support and you use your ultimate good and you do good healing then you should be awarded for that.
I agree, I started OW about a year ago and I can play with my diamond high plat friends and compete with gold medals but yet when I do my placements and perform well I still do bad
Wins don't necessarily matter when it comes to placements. Instead it tracks your in game performances, such as total damage, heals, elims, etc. Dont get it twisted though, they still do matter

I played Mercy in my placement matches. I got 3 wins and 2 draws. And I ranked a sad bronze. Before role queue, I got silver.

I’m gonna play moira now for my placement matches lmao. Thank you so much, I was kinda surprised when I got my rank after my placements because I played well but I didn’t get as high as I could’ve gotten. Or, maybe I just suck. But I don’t think I am absolute trash. 🤷♀️
They literally just take what you ended at last season, then you play your 5 games and whatever you end at is what you get placed. This is hard to explain, but if you lose a game you’ll lose like the normal 20-30 sr and vice versa. I calculated it for my placements. It makes it impossible to climb out of what rank you might be stuck in.
You explained this really well, thank you! It cleared up alot. I ended up in low plat and its hard to climb when you solo queue, especially as a healer.
I've been in gold all my overwatch life but tbh I seen Grandmaster toxicity on video and that's scary. So overall I like gold but I'll keep trying my best :)
me is in silver i sould have my own rank below bronze sooo idk mabey i got lucky the past what 5 or 6 seasons maby we could call my rank stone or wood you know what mabey dirt yea dirt semes about right
I’m still in bronze only cuz I have a PlayStation now i used to play overwatch on Xbox and I was either gold diamond or platinum but I’m getting better and I’ve been getting play of the game a lot
If you get good during a season it will show you might be stuck for that season but next season you will go up. I've been stuck bronze silver and mid gold but have improved over the season and placed higher the next.
Cool vid, but riddle me this: even if players were ranked in gold for last season, how come still lose SR in matches for things that certain a-holes do like throwing and leaving matches? Why should decent players lose SR because of those douchebags that I mentioned? I and many players lost so much SR because of the leavers and Blizzard has yet to do something about it. The players who still stay in matches should not lose SR while leavers should lose triple the SR amount and get a 24 hour suspension from competitive.
Your first placement will never be in master, it's always gold, no matter what on a fresh lvl 25 account, even if you play against t500 in quickplay, it will still place with gold's.
The reason I’m still very high bronze and low silver is because when I was first placed, I was placed at around 1900 SR. By then, I was very new and not very good at all. So I ended up losing most of those games until I was in bronze. Now, I know I am way better than I was at that time, but I am now stuck somewhat low because I really don’t play enough. I know that I’m not grand master or anything, but I do believe that I’m not exactly where I should be. I know that I should be higher ranked because I am often able to, as Genji, face off against three players at once and kill all of them. I also sometimes use strats that only work because of the stupidity of the enemy team.
This cleared up a lot as someone who hadn't played comp before and only played quick play when winning 1 support placement match as silver, I had thought I would be going to bronze.
If you bothered to watch the video instead of commenting you wouldn't have commneted in the first place ... The reason is simple they do a massive calculation ( like taking average of your SR in every commpetitive season you have been in )
And since new/smurf accounts are new = doesn't have any prev. Participation in older seassons > they give what you actually diserve instead of judging you from prev. Seassons
i just won 4 of my placements as a support (gold heals every game) and on my last game i played against someone with 3100SR (and we won) so i was hype and got placed in silver -_-
Hey, I just did my team deatmatch placements with a friend, im a solid plat dps. We won 10 games, I had~ 60% accuracy on dps, and 40 on zen. I allways had 3 to 5 gold medals. For some reason, we were playing in increadibly low games, often against bronze and silver 4 stacks. I got placed silver. All of our games were slaughters. I have been playing since whenever brig was added, and climbed from bronze to high plat (+master lucioball). How did I get 1700? I dont think im a misrepresented grandmaster, but shouldnt my rank be at least within 1000 sr of my dps and support ranks?
Would once again like to clarify, I dont think im Jjonak or Pine or Sinatraa. I just dont get how my sr got ranked so low after so much mmr build up, and such good stats in the placements themselves.
It doesn’t look like your gameplay is that good. Like one example is 5:20, look at that Rein, he just fed. How is this console masters? This would be pc silver. Not hating, just spitting facts.
Either your placement matches aren't the best or they're hot garabage cause mine are, but I somehow manage to get 2 or 3 more sr everytime but when I do hot garabage I place in low to high plat.
So mmr isn’t always accurate, I made a smurf playing with masters and diamonds and after my placements I got plat, but climbed to diamond very quickly because right after placements your matches give you lots of sr. Another example of this is kabaji, whom is a top 500 but placed anywhere from diamond to plat in his smurfs.
Here’s the problem: Bronze healers are dps players. Bronze tanks are don’t move. Silver players don’t even through, they just straight up leave the match
To be fair, I kinda feel like the current mmr system makes it unreasonably hard to climb. I have several different accounts and their ranks range from bronze (my first ever account) to diamond (my current account) and even though I’m wildly above my first accounts ranking, you couldn’t pay me to climb it up to diamond. It takes way longer than it should to be able to climb and to some extent I think your mmr should be reset to help that. Obviously I don’t want it reset every season since that would seriously fuck up the ranking system, but something like any data from over 3ish months ago isn’t calculated into it anymore. I have no clue how mmr works if I’m being honest, but it seems like it really holds a lot of players back just because they started playing competitive when they hit level 25 for the first time. Anyways, those are just my thoughts. I’m sure there are many reasons the mmr is calculated the way it is, I just wish I was a bit more forgiving and made it less likely to keep people “hard stuck” in a rank :/
7:57 - 8:11 I was gold for 16 season's and win 4 or more wins in a row but always ends up in silver with almost 30 to 40 kills in those games, but my rank is still sitting at gold.
I'm ok with Plat and gold. I don't like facing a team that's going to destroy me with one button. I rather have a decent match with both teams pushing for a win, and that's how I enjoy life.
Honestly thought it reset every season :P This was informative, albeit slightly blunt. I always just do my placements and not play any ranked after. So if I wanna get outta plat/diamond. I have to just keep grinding? Damn. I get comp anxiety bad.
Tyler Fuda no you don’t have to keep grinding at all your ranking does not have to do with how long you play he’s saying that if you actually want to rank up you gotta grind
I really dont understand one aspect of their system. I ranked gold 3 years ago and didnt play another competitive season until last month, when i got a PC that can reasonably run overwatch, and i won 7 placements and i was placed in silver. While my mechanical skill has gotten better from months of playing on console where i peaked at diamond and general PC games, i got ranked lower because i didnt wanna start a new account, and frankly i dont really wanna climb up the ranks again. So while it makes sense for consistent players, i feel like if you dont play for enough seasons, there should be some soft reset.
I started playing because of my brother, he got the game after one year of it being out (somewhere around there) and I saw him play, he let me play some times but I got it maybe like a year ago and never really understood the placement matches but now I do so thanks
I’m just frustrated that I’m in high gold, where I try my best as a support and heal as much - gold healing, do my fair share of eliminations & communicate, yet I have tanks that throw themselves into enemy lines. How am I supposed to ever get passed those type of players. A support can only do so much. 😫 Oh well.
1 tip for you play mercy right then damage boost the better dps in your group and only heal if you have to keep your other support alive so they can heal the tanks and other dps and take the silver healing
I am so annoyed at those people like, “I have gold medals! I’m doing everything!” No, gold medals doesn’t mean anything about your gameplay. Idc about medals, it’s your gameplay. Try sending one of your normal games to someone to VOD review it. You can post your replay code on reddit r/overwatch or r/overwatchuniversity.
It's kinda annoying with new players. My friend who's new to ow just played his placement matches with me who's silver and I'm gold. We totally carried him and had pretty much all gold medals, but he still got placed plat.
I did around 13 thousand damage each match as soldier 76, won 3 games, healed my team, had around 2 min 30 sec objective time each time, had around 40-48 accuracy each time and placed low gold
The annoying thing is when i climb five hundred sr in a season and win all five placement games with three or more gold medals and still place only 100 sr more than the season before
I got over watch at about the start of season 20 and was in gold for quite a bit but had a bad day and probably ended up dropping atleast a couple hundred sr but then now because I can’t carry because I play support I’m now pretty much stuck in silver
I always placed high bronze to mid silver but my friends who are plat - diamond always said i should be as high as them although i did climb from high bronze to high gold one season
I’m masters tank and I noticed depending on how I perform my smurfs get placed plat or gold on some roles or another account can get placed mid diamond to masters
I played season 22 coming back to the game not playing since season 15, i played all my placement matches with a diamond group who was also starting their placements, they told me you play at diamond level and i really did play great, but i ended up in bronce in all three, because of not playing a lot of seasons
In season 7 my game broke and put me right at the end of a quick play game when I queued I went in comp so the quick play counted as comp so right as the game ended it thought because it was in so little time of the game it glitched and banned me for the entire season
you see i left the the game for a while a couple months ago i was ranked in bronze and while i was taking a break my game talent became a lot better so when i downloaded it again i was just better at least high silver skill but when i go to place because i USED to be bronze it ranks me bronze and it is extremely hard to climb out because the players just suck and if you play dps there’s no heals when you play support. there’s no help so it’s just a hole that i can’t get out of
i ranked bronze when I got gold elims every game e.t.c. I played good but my account was rigged from previous seasons. So I made a new account and placed platinum where I belonged....... But it's fucked up because I want to play at the account where I have all my skins, but I keep placing silver e.t.c. PLACEMENT IS RIGGED. On one account I keep placing plat, and on the other I'm placing silver, and I play exactly the same!
So what about the players that are new to the game, and get messed up because of the new player sr gain/loss system. Me and a buddy played our placements and got what we expected, and loss only a couple of games and lost 400 sr each. ( I’m new to pc ow and he’s on an alt acc)
above 3k the game doesnt base mmr on ur ingame perfomance it only reads off game ratings so for example if ur in a 4k game as a 3.5k player even unranked u get -10 and + 35 or something like that

me is in silver i sould have my own rank below bronze sooo idk mabey i got lucky the past what 5 or 6 seasons maby we could call my rank stone or wood you know what mabey dirt yea dirt semes about right
I’m still in bronze only cuz I have a PlayStation now i used to play overwatch on Xbox and I was either gold diamond or platinum but I’m getting better and I’ve been getting play of the game a lot
You’re still in gold!?
@@fayelss yes sadly but I was almost Plat
You will never rank up , sorry NEVER , stop trying and stop playing Overwatch. Thank me later
If you get good during a season it will show you might be stuck for that season but next season you will go up. I've been stuck bronze silver and mid gold but have improved over the season and placed higher the next.
Im mad, cause at placement I was playing with plats and i was actually doing gold dps/elims and I got to silver
Cool vid, but riddle me this: even if players were ranked in gold for last season, how come still lose SR in matches for things that certain a-holes do like throwing and leaving matches? Why should decent players lose SR because of those douchebags that I mentioned? I and many players lost so much SR because of the leavers and Blizzard has yet to do something about it. The players who still stay in matches should not lose SR while leavers should lose triple the SR amount and get a 24 hour suspension from competitive.
Thank you I’m sort of new and I really needed this
I like that I played rien for 4 hours with amazing stats! Played with master to gm people in qp! And then got to Comp and get gold matches:) love ow
I literally bought the game 4 days ago, and my first placement match was with masters people and they where like "wtf is he doing here" 😂
Your first placement will never be in master, it's always gold, no matter what on a fresh lvl 25 account, even if you play against t500 in quickplay, it will still place with gold's.
Not possible lol
The reason I’m still very high bronze and low silver is because when I was first placed, I was placed at around 1900 SR. By then, I was very new and not very good at all. So I ended up losing most of those games until I was in bronze. Now, I know I am way better than I was at that time, but I am now stuck somewhat low because I really don’t play enough. I know that I’m not grand master or anything, but I do believe that I’m not exactly where I should be. I know that I should be higher ranked because I am often able to, as Genji, face off against three players at once and kill all of them. I also sometimes use strats that only work because of the stupidity of the enemy team.
thank you so much, that makes much more sense. I have one more question though, is your season high taken into account when your SR is determined?
This cleared up a lot as someone who hadn't played comp before and only played quick play when winning 1 support placement match as silver, I had thought I would be going to bronze.
“Ahem... GET GOOD!”
I felt that.
i was at like 2819 when season 20 ended, but i won all my placements for support and got one game away from diamond s o
Mate, I got a new OW acc and I ranked in Plat when I was a bronze on my main acc, so how tf does that work?
Thomas Molenaar I was coming to say the same exact thing!!!
I got ranked low silver at the start and on my smurf I ranked a high gold. I think this was because i didnt know how the maps and characters worked.
OH MY GOD SAMEEE
If you bothered to watch the video instead of commenting you wouldn't have commneted in the first place ...
The reason is simple they do a massive calculation ( like taking average of your SR in every commpetitive season you have been in )
And since new/smurf accounts are new = doesn't have any prev. Participation in older seassons > they give what you actually diserve instead of judging you from prev. Seassons
i just won 4 of my placements as a support (gold heals every game) and on my last game i played against someone with 3100SR (and we won) so i was hype and got placed in silver -_-
So to sum up this video...
Ahem...
G E T G O O D
Conclusion = if you’re in gold, you’re shit at the game. Solution = Quit.
I've been stuck in bronze for a year😔
how ab now
My knowledge of overwatch is now complete. This makes so much sense thx for the vid
Hey, I just did my team deatmatch placements with a friend, im a solid plat dps. We won 10 games, I had~ 60% accuracy on dps, and 40 on zen. I allways had 3 to 5 gold medals. For some reason, we were playing in increadibly low games, often against bronze and silver 4 stacks. I got placed silver. All of our games were slaughters. I have been playing since whenever brig was added, and climbed from bronze to high plat (+master lucioball). How did I get 1700? I dont think im a misrepresented grandmaster, but shouldnt my rank be at least within 1000 sr of my dps and support ranks?
Would once again like to clarify, I dont think im Jjonak or Pine or Sinatraa. I just dont get how my sr got ranked so low after so much mmr build up, and such good stats in the placements themselves.
I feel like I’m playing at a gold level but I’m stuck in bronze or silver and can you not lose sr from a lost game?
This title just exposed me
It doesn’t look like your gameplay is that good. Like one example is 5:20, look at that Rein, he just fed. How is this console masters? This would be pc silver. Not hating, just spitting facts.
But the fact is i get placed in Gold and instantly climbs to High plat? And i’ve been doing that for 3 seasons now
Either your placement matches aren't the best or they're hot garabage cause mine are, but I somehow manage to get 2 or 3 more sr everytime but when I do hot garabage I place in low to high plat.
So if your stuck in bronze since season 3 (like me) I will never get out of bronze (because I never get more sr)
So mmr isn’t always accurate, I made a smurf playing with masters and diamonds and after my placements I got plat, but climbed to diamond very quickly because right after placements your matches give you lots of sr. Another example of this is kabaji, whom is a top 500 but placed anywhere from diamond to plat in his smurfs.
Seriously thank you so much, I always wondered how this works and I am glad my favorite RUclips could tell me, tysm!
Here’s the problem:
Bronze healers are dps players.
Bronze tanks are don’t move.
Silver players don’t even through, they just straight up leave the match
To be fair, I kinda feel like the current mmr system makes it unreasonably hard to climb. I have several different accounts and their ranks range from bronze (my first ever account) to diamond (my current account) and even though I’m wildly above my first accounts ranking, you couldn’t pay me to climb it up to diamond. It takes way longer than it should to be able to climb and to some extent I think your mmr should be reset to help that. Obviously I don’t want it reset every season since that would seriously fuck up the ranking system, but something like any data from over 3ish months ago isn’t calculated into it anymore. I have no clue how mmr works if I’m being honest, but it seems like it really holds a lot of players back just because they started playing competitive when they hit level 25 for the first time.
Anyways, those are just my thoughts. I’m sure there are many reasons the mmr is calculated the way it is, I just wish I was a bit more forgiving and made it less likely to keep people “hard stuck” in a rank :/
I've accepted the fact I'm plat because...........I'm bad
e plats were the gameplay starts to get good anything below is actually garbage
When bro you wack talked about MMR that stuff only matters till like platinum or diamond after that it's all based upon if toy win or lose
Egg-sactly what I’m looking for🥚😉
🥚
How Eggciting (:)
@@kaya_52 broccoli puns have left the chat with eg gard
It still doesn't account for positioning, team comp and communication. It would be better if they made a system that views your gameplay
Thanks for the news 🙂 PS: Pancakes is soooooooo cute I love her
They broke this game. I was diamond and now with role queue I cannot even get above 2100 as a support main
Be korean😂😂 Why it really be like that tho, I mean....look at everyone on the overwatch league
7:57 - 8:11 I was gold for 16 season's and win 4 or more wins in a row but always ends up in silver with almost 30 to 40 kills in those games, but my rank is still sitting at gold.
The only reason you’re so high is because you got carried, so don’t act like you’re good
Edit: that and you play Mei
What your sr?
@@Rose-ck4yo hes just mad he cant get out of gold
Yo I need a group, I’m near gold, and I want to communicate
I'm ok with Plat and gold. I don't like facing a team that's going to destroy me with one button. I rather have a decent match with both teams pushing for a win, and that's how I enjoy life.
1:22 😂 be Korean or win all 5 games
Honestly thought it reset every season :P This was informative, albeit slightly blunt. I always just do my placements and not play any ranked after. So if I wanna get outta plat/diamond. I have to just keep grinding? Damn. I get comp anxiety bad.
Tyler Fuda no you don’t have to keep grinding at all your ranking does not have to do with how long you play he’s saying that if you actually want to rank up you gotta grind
can this comment get more likes than the video?
You just answered the intriguing question no one asked. THANKS SO MUCH!! 🥴
Durrr Gaming you literally saw all the comments of people that hate you
I really dont understand one aspect of their system. I ranked gold 3 years ago and didnt play another competitive season until last month, when i got a PC that can reasonably run overwatch, and i won 7 placements and i was placed in silver. While my mechanical skill has gotten better from months of playing on console where i peaked at diamond and general PC games, i got ranked lower because i didnt wanna start a new account, and frankly i dont really wanna climb up the ranks again. So while it makes sense for consistent players, i feel like if you dont play for enough seasons, there should be some soft reset.
Just play, take your time, think what you are doing and eventualy u will climb. I was
I started playing because of my brother, he got the game after one year of it being out (somewhere around there) and I saw him play, he let me play some times but I got it maybe like a year ago and never really understood the placement matches but now I do so thanks
So if I play solider and heal myself and get bronze medal I get extra sr?!?!
Thanks BYW i was kinda upset when i got bronze after winning 5 matches, 1 draw and.... 4 lo...loses in competitive open queue
I’m just frustrated that I’m in high gold, where I try my best as a support and heal as much - gold healing, do my fair share of eliminations & communicate, yet I have tanks that throw themselves into enemy lines.
How am I supposed to ever get passed those type of players. A support can only do so much. 😫 Oh well.
1 tip for you play mercy right then damage boost the better dps in your group and only heal if you have to keep your other support alive so they can heal the tanks and other dps and take the silver healing
I am so annoyed at those people like, “I have gold medals! I’m doing everything!” No, gold medals doesn’t mean anything about your gameplay. Idc about medals, it’s your gameplay. Try sending one of your normal games to someone to VOD review it. You can post your replay code on reddit r/overwatch or r/overwatchuniversity.
It's kinda annoying with new players. My friend who's new to ow just played his placement matches with me who's silver and I'm gold. We totally carried him and had pretty much all gold medals, but he still got placed plat.
I did around 13 thousand damage each match as soldier 76, won 3 games, healed my team, had around 2 min 30 sec objective time each time, had around 40-48 accuracy each time and placed low gold
Thanks broyouwack I did not know anything about my ranks and stuff also thanks for making me laugh 😂😂😂😂😆
The annoying thing is when i climb five hundred sr in a season and win all five placement games with three or more gold medals and still place only 100 sr more than the season before
For us dps, mmr is a weird one. I'll leave it at that
I got over watch at about the start of season 20 and was in gold for quite a bit but had a bad day and probably ended up dropping atleast a couple hundred sr but then now because I can’t carry because I play support I’m now pretty much stuck in silver
I’m a support main (mainly mercy) and I climbed for 1400 to 2200 by getting better
And carrying my games the inter way
I always placed high bronze to mid silver but my friends who are plat - diamond always said i should be as high as them although i did climb from high bronze to high gold one season
I’m masters tank and I noticed depending on how I perform my smurfs get placed plat or gold on some roles or another account can get placed mid diamond to masters
I played season 22 coming back to the game not playing since season 15, i played all my placement matches with a diamond group who was also starting their placements, they told me you play at diamond level and i really did play great, but i ended up in bronce in all three, because of not playing a lot of seasons
I started in plat this season and I’m currently in Diamond on Nintendo Switch which is top 500. How will my next placement look like?
I usually lose like 22 and gain 30
PLAT HERE I COME
In season 7 my game broke and put me right at the end of a quick play game when I queued I went in comp so the quick play counted as comp so right as the game ended it thought because it was in so little time of the game it glitched and banned me for the entire season
you see i left the the game for a while a couple months ago i was ranked in bronze and while i was taking a break my game talent became a lot better so when i downloaded it again i was just better at least high silver skill but when i go to place because i USED to be bronze it ranks me bronze and it is extremely hard to climb out because the players just suck and if you play dps there’s no heals when you play support. there’s no help so it’s just a hole that i can’t get out of
This video went from informative, to 'get good', to wholesome.
i ranked bronze when I got gold elims every game e.t.c. I played good but my account was rigged from previous seasons. So I made a new account and placed platinum where I belonged....... But it's fucked up because I want to play at the account where I have all my skins, but I keep placing silver e.t.c. PLACEMENT IS RIGGED. On one account I keep placing plat, and on the other I'm placing silver, and I play exactly the same!
Last season I started in bronze on all roles. But I actually got plat tank and almost plat on dps and healer at the end of the season.
So what about the players that are new to the game, and get messed up because of the new player sr gain/loss system. Me and a buddy played our placements and got what we expected, and loss only a couple of games and lost 400 sr each. ( I’m new to pc ow and he’s on an alt acc)
The GIT GUD meme were the funniest of thus channel so far.
above 3k the game doesnt base mmr on ur ingame perfomance it only reads off game ratings so for example if ur in a 4k game as a 3.5k player even unranked u get -10 and + 35 or something like that
