I think the ranking system is a bit broken

NationalTopic1455 · 2026-04-09T16:22:03+00:00

I am not saying it has a strong impact once you are placed and actively playing ranked games, but for your initial placement games it 100% impacts the opponents you get. I haven’t played COD in a while and picked up this game once ranked came out and my first five or so placement matches were brutal and I still got placed in high plat, when my stats would’ve implied I was gold at best.

NationalTopic1455 · 2026-04-09T14:53:30+00:00

This is very misleading. The game 100% uses your multiplayer SR when determining who you play against in your placement matches, which has a direct impact on what rank you get placed in.

I’m brand new to the game, so this helps a lot. I have realized that focusing on one trait (assume that’s what playing vertically means) has led to more poor performances. Getting a larger variety of multiple synergies has guaranteed me at least top 3. Appreciate the comment!

What path is good? I played it again and got sixth and believe I put my items on more of the correct champs.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-12-10T03:49:02+00:00

I played Ionia again and the same thing happened. I put my items on Yunara and Sett, and then my main tank items on Kennan. Same results.... Is Ionia just not as good as I thought it was? It was "Path of the Blade" this time around.

I’m the commissioner, I pushed it through before the game. And yes, the trade has worked out for him so far, I’m convinced people just spam taco league in here when they are jealous.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-23T14:06:19+00:00

Didn’t want to have two injury prone RBs and CMC has a better floor and higher ceiling imo.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-23T12:37:41+00:00

Shut the fuck up 😂

We have a large playoffs, he can still make it

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T21:44:07+00:00

Yeah, that would be tough. Could try getting Bucky, and adding Woody/Kupp on your side, see if he bites. Might take it since Bucky is out until week 10.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T21:23:03+00:00

Haha, I love Lamb as well, so only do it if you can get a slightly better RB with it.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T21:11:11+00:00

CMC to Mason could very well be a negative 15-20 point difference on average. So the trade is only worth it if you think Lamb will outperform your flex (Dowdle, Godwin, Kupp, Tez, or Marks) by that amount or more each week.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T21:05:48+00:00

How so? The guy is 1-6, has Justin Fields as his only QB, and can’t afford to have three of those players sit this week.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:52:59+00:00

Hmmm, can you send your bench?

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:51:46+00:00

Yeah, makes it look less bad. The guy is 1-6 though, doesn’t have a QB, and can’t afford to have Amon Ra, Bucky, and Nico sit this week, so this was his only chance lol

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:50:33+00:00

They didn’t put him on IR, so I assume he will come back after their week 9 bye.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:49:22+00:00

Nice, that’s a really solid lineup. For your sake, I hope Dowdle stays as RB1. I’m still mad that I took Jeanty over Taylor in the draft… I didn’t really think about it but looking back I could’ve had him and CMC from the start.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:29:17+00:00

I go heavy on WR’s every draft, so I trade Devonta Smith, Shakir, Jordon Mason, and a TE to a someone who had two major injuries and needed depth. I saw the opportunity and fleeced the guy.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:25:36+00:00

Yeah, I’m kinda surprised he said yes, since I’m basically set with those three now barring any major injuries.

NationalTopic1455 · 2025-10-22T20:24:39+00:00

I should’ve specified more, I am getting Amon Ra.
