FFA: Why's it so easy to rank up in?

I’ve seen so many champions, who have negative K/D’s and poor win/loss ratios.

I don’t want to expose people personally, but on another gamertag I saw a champion with a win percentage of 20.5 and a 0.9 K/D, how is he deserving of being champion rank? It makes it seem like a joke.

The champion rank needs to be much harder to obtain and maintain imo.

It feels like even if you lose you still rank up.

So? A K/D around 1 isn’t that bad when you’re always playing people around your skill level. If you want to inflate your K/D to look cool for your friends, go play social with a full party.

If you’re referring to FFA, you can rank up easily in it because you can get a low placing in a game and still rank up. You also have low win percentages because it counts as a loss if you don’t get first place and getting that a lot isn’t easy to do.

You clearly haven’t played a lot of FFA if you think champion is easy to get in it. Get champion in any playlist then maybe you can try and talk smack. But most of us FFA players have low KDs and win percentages because anything other than first in FFA counts as a loss on your record. As far as KD is concerned it’s not easy to keep a high KD in FFA.

Remember also that only kills matter, and that influences play style and K/D. You could conceivably go 25-27 and still get first place. Obviously that motivation will get your team a loss in Arena. It’s a big adjustment to go from one to the other.

That is true as well. You can play a little more wreckless at times and get the win. It’s easy to pad KD in team games as you can play a lot more conservatively and win. Not so much in FFA sometimes.

Yeah, win percentage means very little in FFA since finishing in any place other than first counts as a loss, but you gain CSR as long as you don’t finish dead last in a match. That’s why it’s so easy to rank up in FFA.

Win percentage needs to change to every other FPS I’ve ever played in FFA (10,000+ matches in H3, HR, H4, COD, Destiny) - top half is a Win not just 1st

H5 has been an extremely competitive title in FFA - I’m generally finishing a season mid Onyx 2000-2200 and most matches are a sweatfest. My k/d is 1.01, assist rates are high in most matches (around 10 per match), and Top 5 players are generally within 5 kills.

I would say Onyx is not difficult to achieve but High Onyx and Champion take a some skill and effort.

I kind of agree. It’s 50% v like 17% that get the W in Arena v FFA. In eight man tourneys the top four advance so it basically counts as a win. On the other hand the end scene where you stand alone is quite rewarding after a win, at least for me personally. Maybe they could just award three wins and show the “Top Winner” in the last frames.

Of course, unfortunately you always have to think of ways kids will try to cheat the system. Only awarding one win probably keeps them from going “match mode” and boosting friends so they both get Ws and CSR. It happens. I’ve seen it.

I’d agree with the bottom statement. Not to mention, once you get higher in Onyx those CSR points are a lot harder to come by. Even finishing 2nd, depending on competition, can sometimes only net you 5 points or so.

I had over a 1.1 kd and over 25% win percentage until I got into about the top 100 champ range. Now I keep going down more and more because every game I’m playing pros and streamers…

He could have come in 2nd place every time he didn’t get 1st place and still have that 20.5% win percentage.

Also, at these high tiers, you have to search expanded and I swear lately that has been making my situation even worse, shots don’t register, enemies seem to get the melee instead of me…just because they live closer to servers…

If its so easy where is your champ bro???
