Why is it that regardless of how well I did in a match, if my team loses I lose progress to the next rank? This whole the winning team gains progress, the losing team loses progress, is wrong. I’ve played matches where I’ve had 24 kills and 8 deaths, had more kills than anyone else in the match but because our team lost I lost rank. It should be based on individual performance, not team win/loss. There’s too many examples of really good players getting matched with silvers because they’ve been on losing teams and don’t progress in rank. And there’s a lot of terrible players that are ranked gold that only got there because they play with a team that’s actually good and consistently winning so they get carried, then they screw things up for another team cause they actually suck and shoulda been at bronze.
I agree. Your placement matches are the only matches that count for anything in terms of personal performance, which I think is more going for the whole team being good, rather than the actual individual performance being good, which does take away from some players. If they made it more of an individual score rather than " You can increase your rank because the rest of your team is good" like 343 want it to be, it takes away from you having the placement matches as your individual skill in the first place, you might as well just make it based on individual performance altogether.
