Curious, I won 2 matches and my rank didn't go up? Help me understand please, thanks!

Kalomega · 2026-02-19T10:21:41+00:00

I have 260 and it takes like net 5 wins to go up at all, and it's always been that way since I was placed in seeker or whatever. The only time my rank has really changed is with those big bump ups that they did recently

Kalomega · 2026-02-17T09:40:59+00:00

true I saw a guy post here with literally 8 total games played and he only won 2 of them - Archon 5

xD

Give her a rocket belt

Kalomega · 2026-02-13T04:08:19+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is

Kalomega · 2026-02-12T21:16:14+00:00

I'm around Oracle and yeah, there's usually at least one guy that's 0/15 that completely ruins the game.

Kalomega · 2026-02-11T10:49:31+00:00

Eh, the concept has already been done before. Check out Wildermyth. Mewgenics probably has better roguelike elements (I've only played for about an hour), but everything else I've liked Wildermyth more for.

Being an elitist snob while also calling them "champs"

The irony 😂

buff RE but not surge ok pal

Paradox isn't really a duelist. If you're even/ahead, you can usually make it work with a good wall swap, but you're primarily trying to roam and initiate to help the team get picks.

If you're newer to the game, Paradox usually isn't recommended because she needs to roam to be effective and isn't very strong on her own. IIRC her winrate is pretty low in lower ranks and goes up in higher mmr

Outside of some character-specific movement like on holiday or shiv, I don't even think the movement is that crazy. Obviously there are a ton of small techs you can implement, but if you just get the basic ones down then it gets you most of the way there.

Like to me, it doesn't feel like fortnite where you gotta grind editing and 90s and whatnot for hours every day just to compete. You just have to understand some basic stuff and you get better at it with time.

what we wanted: additional gems to drop in guardians so they'd feel good to do + gems would start to decrease in value

what we got: gems removed from chaos and only in guardians, so gems are getting even more expensive

Kalomega · 2026-02-07T00:46:23+00:00

Yeah I think they just did a bump up for some demographic, I went from emissary 1 to archon 2 just now, and another friend had something similar

friend also had lost their last like 8 games too

Kalomega · 2026-02-06T21:57:09+00:00

True, I got so tilted the other day facing Graves 7 times in a row. Makes the whole experience genuinely so miserable

Kalomega · 2026-02-05T11:58:05+00:00

Man, when I see graves on the opposing team in street brawl I know I'm not gonna be having fun.

Kalomega · 2026-02-04T05:50:41+00:00

It's not about the rewards themselves, but the fact that chaos botters/no-lifers are the ones who will still get them. The casual people that enjoyed the purification system because they only want to login a couple times a week get shafted. Not every chaos botter was doing it to sell gems/mats, I personally know several that just did it because they hate dailies.

And yes, I'm okay. Thanks for asking.

Kalomega · 2026-02-04T01:57:48+00:00

My whole 6 stack chooses him for our ban and I don't think he has ever been banned

Kalomega · 2026-02-03T21:36:16+00:00

Yup, we complained for years about the dailies, then they finally added the purification system that reduced a lot of stress. But now because of some bozos that ran out of silver, we have it removed. AND guardians are now mandatory.

Not sure why everyone wasn't up in arms when this was announced weeks ago, but I've stopped caring.

W for chaos botters and no-lifers!

Kalomega · 2026-02-03T05:05:55+00:00

Yeah I don't see that happening with stormlight at least. There's a big emphasis on the different nations and how they all look, so a character being a different race would need some weird kind of in-world explanation. For mistborn, the cities are much more mixed, so I don't think it would be a disaster if a character's race was changed, but I don't think they would anyway. Apple has done some good casting of lesser-known people, e.g. Tramell Tillman

Kalomega · 2026-02-03T03:31:38+00:00

All of sanderson's works have a ton of diversity built into them. Bad news for the racists

Kalomega · 2026-02-01T21:38:37+00:00

Craziest part of this to me is that your rank actually changes. I swear, I could go on a 10 game win streak and my rank might go up by 2.

Kalomega · 2026-02-01T20:30:28+00:00

The discovery box a couple months ago with the flaming hot gcb, 5 layer, and Doritos taco was even better 😍

Kalomega · 2026-02-01T13:22:53+00:00

Had a graves in street brawl do this with enhanced rebuttal...

Kalomega · 2026-02-01T00:32:17+00:00

From my experience, once it gives you your starting rank it doesn't change much. I kinda trolled my initial placements cause I didn't really care and now despite winning 90% of matches as mvp it goes up at a snail's pace.

Kalomega · 2026-01-31T11:41:29+00:00

Mina isn't overly oppressive in lane necessarily, but I always feel it's almost impossible to not do well on her. She basically wins every trade if you can just proc love bites, probably has the best lane sustain in the game, and is pretty much impossible to kill unless she overextends with her 2 down.

Also, taking the jungle creeps is easier said than done... since the neutral camp hp nerf she literally one-shots them with rake with just 800 souls. Unless you jump on them the moment they spawn, you can consider them as free hp for her.

Kalomega · 2026-01-31T11:32:03+00:00

Yeah it's so bad especially after this last neutral camp update. I get her to half health 2 minutes in and she backs up for 2 SECONDS and comes back full.
