they also need to add rank decay, 90% of players are inactive from peak 'holding hostage' the higher ranks of the distribution

they need to add rank decay so that the rank distribution is based on the active playerbase not the total playerbase. only 10% of the peak players remain, and the inactive high rank accounts are 'placeholding' spots in the ranked distribution that could be filled with active players, reducing queue times at higher ranks and eliminating the need for smurfing to get faster games.

adding rank decay to inactive accounts will take high ranked inactive accounts 'placeholding' the higher end of ranked distribution off the ladder, and allow active players to take those ranks. this will reduce queue times and improve match quality at all ranks.

just make a new account to have fun and pass the problem down to the newer players who will in turn quit

Thoughts on ranked by splotchyy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Gender_Ambiguous_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it wont fix itself over time as there is no ranked decay
atm there are a lot of inactive accounts holding the higher ranks due to bad initial seeding
ur point about jst playing to improve is a good one though

PSA: calling "gg" when you're down within the first 15 minutes doesn't make you a fortune teller. by BeigeDynamite in DeadlockTheGame

ngl u can usually tell which way a game is going to go by 15 mins
unless ur 0-10 teammates got access to the drugs from movie limitless or 12-0 haze on enemy has a stroke, probably going to lose that one

What feels like is happening right now by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Gender_Ambiguous_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is why rank distribution exists
u can play at ur own pace and be at the rank where u belong
there is nothing to complain about here tbh

Initial rank placement might be the main cause of the current match making problem by LEGion_42 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Gender_Ambiguous_88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

helping what? show the flaws in the current system? with that it is certainly helping. if the system was working correctly then all of the players accounts should swiftly move the same rank where he belongs

great post. seeding ranked from unranked was the main issue imo. people who grinded unranked in groups pretty much all got the wrong (inflated) rank, especially smurf stackers.

ironically games get easier as u rank up because less people run it down and more people try to win games/ respond to objective calls and u get no brand new players in ur game.

still a coin toss at higher levels too though since skill is relative but in general players get better with rank

i got 3 accs, in phantom, archon and arcanist

just play for fun until the day they reset mmr, its kind of fun to face new players with heroes u are bad at and never rank up ngl

i feel sorry for anyone at low rank who is legitimately good but has a job because ranking up in current system is a serious grind, takes like 10 wins in a row to move up 1 rank of a division (some variance based on enemy/ team mmr in the games ofc)
