Worst Ranked Elo System Ever Implemented.

MWRAZZ

I am a fairly new valorant player with minimal CSGO experience. That being said I expect to get my fair share of ass whooping. However, this elo system rewards only the highest players and prevents iron, bronze, and silver players from progressing. Before you say "get good" let me explain. I completed my placement games and was placed silver 3. From this point forward I play against platinum and diamond players in every match. This means I was placed into divisions 2 and 3 tiers higher than my own. Naturally, I got destroyed by the sweaty CSGO kids. Even when we won I would be low enough on the leaderboard to get minimal elo gain. On the flip side these diamond players are getting ranked into silver and gold divisions where they go 30-3 and receive huge elo jumps which further propels them at the expense of low tier players like myself. If riot is going to blatantly copy CSGO they can at least implement an elo system that is appropriate for skill development.

I agree, however i believe that the system they've implemented only works in your case if they're a pretty hefty supply of players to fill out the ranks so your not playing with/against 2 full ranks of difference. I highly doubt we'll have those numbers in closed beta.

The reward system should be the same for everyone.

The ELO/MMR system is currently a joke. At higher ranks if youre solo que forget about wins. Youll get placed with kids with higher ELO that instant lock agents then proceed to lurk,bait, and hide with crucial agents and then claim no one else can play when the game ends 3-13 and they got all their kills lurking and catching rotators in the back. Some sort of rep/commendation system needs to be implemented and the way MMR/ELO is determined needs to be reworked badly as I dropped from Plat 2 to silver 3 today dropping 30 bombs a game but losing almost everyone of them when the rest of my team struggles to break 10 kills. I know its beta but unlike csgo carrying yourself in this game is a lot harder.

I'm slightly confused. If we're talking about competitive, you would want your MMR to actively reflect your skill level. If you did well, you would earn more credit for your performance. Why should someone who hasn't contributed as much whether it's factoring KDA or objectives like plants and defuses get the same elo gain as someone whose numbers show that they were one of the players that performed really well?

Maybe a bad example but does someone who averaged ₁₀₀ combat score deserve the same elo gain as someone who had ₃₀₀?
