current mmr system is fucked

idk about other regions but theres a reason why whole lotta pros/high elo players r complaining about rr gains

its kinda stupid even at imm+ that your rr gains are based solely off the match score and not ur performance (maybe to encourage team play but)

and due to high rank in NA being dead the current mmr system isnt designed for only like 250 radiants when theres like a week of the act left,
the hidden mmr places everyone on a leaderboard and determines ur gains off that, because theres no one playing ranked in NA anymore the leaderboard shifts all the way down and everyone even at 500rr is getting +15 -24 shit is fucked, its even worse for the low immo players

and on top of that illi and tx being the only servers that r playable lmfao if you queue cali you just get like asc peak shitters because no one queues cali unless u want 7min queue time

and then for the top radiants you get +10 and -30 or -40 almost lmfao theres just no reason to play at that point

  • also no incentive to play ranked once u hit rad for the average radiant player except for the 600th same gunbuddy in a row woohoo

real money is just never gna be a thing

but even then i have 0 expectations tbh, doubt the rewards are good enough to convince ppl to play over the wintraders and intlist bounty collectors, game is just too repetitive ur playing against like the same ppl every match unless ur geniunely passionate and want to go pro theres no point

i mean even they its still fucked for NA because the way mmr works is it ranks everyone on a leaderboard with no ties, and because NA ranked is so fucking dead once u hit radiant threshold theres barely anybody in front of you on the mmr leaderboard so ur rr gets fucked pretty bad. the mmr system isnt designed for a dead ranked scene.

this is why I stopped playing ranked, even when/if I get radiant in an act it's just "cool...now time to not touch this game until the next act."
I have no reason to keep going, no reason to deal with the fucking stupid ass ranked teammates, No reason to deal with Chamber, Clove, Jett, and reyna comps for the 8th time in a row with the occasional veto (I'm typically playing scans but I do play omen when I'm allowed to.), Nobody cares about fun, nobody cares about actually improving, Mental is at an all time low, and grinding just feels tedious rather than an actual satisfying grind, and the games that I do win, I get 20 RR after match mvping twice in a row just to lose upwards to 40-50RR for a single loss where I had one less kill than the reyna shouting the F slur every time someone tried to comm.

RR and MMR need a complete rework, The game is all around miserable, I don't even want to go pro anymore I just lurk in vlr because I like the pro scene. But I genuinely gave up my dream of VCT or VCL because I realized that if I commited to it Yeah I'd get the money and maybe some fame but it's not even worth having to deal with this fucking game anymore. I'd rather let my rank go down and work toward becoming an analyst or an assistant coach.

Before you get on my ass about "that's just fps games, you get used to it, suck it up, blah blah blah" yes, I've been in CS lobbies, I was also grand master in overwatch and master in Apex (For those that don't know, that's OW and apex legends' equivalent to Immortal.).
I'd rather go back to those lobbies than deal with you 9-5 players for another 5 fucking minutes.

Bro, I wanted to be a fucking IGL. I liked cooking ez ranked strats to actually get my team good execs onto sites and try to fire people up.

It's gotten to the point that I lost my ranked notebook and im 90% sure my pro notebook got thrown away, Like I genuinely couldn't do it anymore.

Valorant advertised itself as this second chance for those struggling tier 2 players. I was in tier 2-3 apex for the longest time, orgless rosters making runs through the CC genuinely thinking my dreams were dead. Tried coming to valorant, got really good, and wasn't even able to land a team. Tried going back and the game changed so much that I couldn't adapt again, barely scraping my way through diamond and just hitting lower part of masters again.

It's soul crushing to know that I was probably better off playing the game I actually enjoyed than this shit show of an FPS.

sorry for the rant-

ive never been good at apex or heavy tracking games, but if you still have the passion and connections premier is at least playable but even then its not easy

yeah that does sucks man, sometimes life is just like that, ganksterLFT and valscrim disc servers might have ppl that still wanna grind but then you have no idea how good these ppl r yk, wish you best of luck tho, unless you just grind 12hrs a day and hit top 10 its really tough out there

Something that I wish could be seen is the hidden MMR that you and other players have. I get that ruins the whole hidden part of the MMR, but it's a feature that in Rocket League's BakkesMod makes it so you know exactly who you have in your team and where your skill stacks up to your rank.

As for incentives and rewards, it is unbelievable how Riot are projected nearly 7 years to make new ranked rewards when other games are pumping out quality ranked rewards that make you feel like your game is worth playing a bit more each season. R6 and Apex have constantly changing designs on their Champ charms and Pred banners. Something like that would even be refreshing whether having a banner that has a slightly different design each season.

Side note, I think it's kind of weird that you only get the gun buddy for the highest rank you hit that season. I get that it avoids some inventory bloat, but the Iron gun-buddy is something a lot of us probably want to have for a joke, but won't bother inting our rank for.

Im ngl
Ever since mmr update like 2 months ago it has been way better but still can improve

The main problem is if u queue with someone lower ranked and ur mmr gets fucked even if u played super good and ull be forced to play some games with shit mmr in ranked before its fixed
