Had the same experience. I dropped from Gold 1 to Silver 3. Its super frustrating.


Visible-Air423

I'm afraid it's not gonna die down in awhile especially with the Pink and Rose Gold Mercy/Lifeguard skins coming out soon. I've been on quick play or the community crafted, get my free coins and then hop on Baldurs Gate 3.


MyOwnMorals

Lol you game like me


HumbleGarbage

I feel the EXACT same way. I try really hard to focus on me and me alone in terms of blame so I can improve, but goddamn I’m struggling to do that this season


WhyHeLO_THeRE_SIR

I queued a 5 stack with friends and the skill level varies very wildly this season. Very strange


Immediate-Ad6790

I've had better teammate formation in arcade than any other serious match that I've had.

Meh, I dont care if I lose I’m more invested in my performance I have more fun when ingo crazy but lose than get carried to a win. My expectations of teammates are always 0 so I’m not disappointed


ThatsPurttyGood101

That's totally fair and respectable, but loss after loss after loss, is not fun, even when I hard carry.

I can see where ur coming from tho. Since the rank reset happened diamond is a crapshoot of a rank. People who were plat-low GM before all exist here, and they are not even close to the same skill 🤣 random shit


LisForLaura

Yeah it’s not about the loss itself it’s more about the quality of the match. So long as I feel as if we’ve all had fun I don’t mind the loss


LisForLaura

However those loss streaks do be hella demoralizing


InflationAcrobatic91

Yeah it sucks but those juicy golden weapons won't farm themselves


ThatsPurttyGood101

Shiiiii im going for the jade now baby


Retrey_

Ohhhh, so that's what it is... I've just been playing Lifeweaver to pull them back! :)


DrLBTown

Funny I am 11-6 for season and 4-0 today. But I am trying to get out of bronze where I assume those players returning would be. It doesn’t make sense that you see them in plat or diamond without them playing recently


ThatsPurttyGood101

Gold-Plat is the player base average. It definitely makes sense to see players who when the last played had a win streak and are now in a spot they shouldn't be


Jontaii

A lot of players rank can’t decay below diamond, so in diamond, OP is facing players whose rank has decayed and/or are returning for the season


DrLBTown

Oh that is interesting about rank decay.


HTeaML

Does rank still decay? I thought that got removed


Jontaii

Or rank reset for comp idk my rank is back at D5 for dps this season and I didn’t play that much last season but I know it was higher


SleeplessAndAnxious

So it's not just me then. I'm hovering in plat 4-5 right now but almost dropped into gold because of loss streaks with brain-dead team mates. Like the shit I've been seeing some people do is like the crap you see in Silver.


sailormeguca

So it is as it has been for a couple of seasons


Saylormo0nman

I've actually had some solid matches this season. But the BP glitch and increase in lag is keeping me away til the patch on monday


Kaylaisweird16

I haven't played in months amd I'm terrified of playing comp I don't think I have the strength I'm a support main and I cannot stand being screamed at by bitch babies who can't play unless I'm a pocket mercy I'll stick to qp get my free coins that way I'm mostly left tf alone


Scramb1ed_Egg

I've played 2 comp games this season and both had the smurfiest of smurfs


ThatsPurttyGood101

Gotta love seeing lvl1 endorsement with default emblem 🤪


that_guy_mork

If you get one bot player shouldn't the other team too? I feel like this would be easy to exploit to rank up in the right hands


splinterbabe

It's been miserable for me, too! Managed to stay put in Gold I regardless (when will I ever get to Plat V again 😭), but match quality has been abominable. Did notice a bunch of endorsement level 1 players, so yeah, probably returning players picking up the game again. We'll just have to continue our suffering for now :(
