Here is the real problem. During my qualifiers I did pretty well. I think I won MOST of my matches. I don’t recall exactly how many. Then I was placed in the Onyx rank. I thought to myself “Wow, that’s pretty high up there! I didn’t think I did that well.” But didn’t stress over it that much. Well, it turns out I was right. I do not belong in Onyx. I place the lowest on nearly every match, and I am usually the cause of my team losing. When my team does win, I promise that it has nothing to do with me. Additionally, when I play with my friends we always get matched with higher level players and there isn’t a mop in the world capable of cleaning all of our brains up off the Arena floor.
When do the ranks reset so that I can get back to enjoying swat?
Does anyone else feel like they were ranked too high in something?
I understand the reasons behind de-ranking only so much, but I wish I could go back down to where I belong (probably a gold).
i am sitting in platinum 2 because i dont play enough to learn the maps/spawns swat used to be fun but they change the BR too much so it feels like a DMR

Good to see I’m not along with the false high rank. Although, I got to say, the Onyx emblem next to my name makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy, even though I don’t deserve it…
My buddy went 4-6 and they placed him in Onyx. I went 7-3 and they placed me in platinum. -.-
I mean I won’t lie, I got the better end of the deal. When I play onyx players I usually go ± 2 K/D.
When I play platinum players I usually (Like 3/4 of the time) end my games with a 10+ KDA. I enjoy the insane completion rate of my +8 KDA commendation but yeash… Swat and FFA seem broken. This doesn’t seem to be an issue with Slayer/Arena/Breakout
My arena ranking is perfect. I end up winning about half of my matches, but I usually feel as though I’m contributing to the team. I’m just dead weight (literally) with Swat though.
I had to start in Diamond even though I carried my teams in many of my placement matches, but I got Onyx yesterday and I’m having no problems in this tier.
They probably shouldn’t have started you out in Onyx, and place the highest performing players in Diamond/Platinum, never Onyx, so you have to work your way towards playing against the more skilled/experienced players. I can’t say you’re good or bad because of your rank most of the time, but I can definitely see some players having trouble competing with other players in the same tier.
Maybe a change in the placement system could fix this, but you can’t really determine someone’s true skill level in my opinion.
