For the R6 Champ 1 grind these are my thoughts about the game. There are too many issues about the ranked system which in my opinion makes the climb impossible as a solo to C1. My grind was solo queue peak to D4, duo to C5, then 5 stack to C1.
Allowing 5 stacks to queue into a solo is stupid. Solo/Duo queue should be its own separate queue like how valorant’s system is. R6 is a super team based and heavy comm game. When I solo queued, I believe 80-90% of my games were completely silent and if someone did speak, it was to complain or talk when it’s the last round and the game was over. Being a solo against a 5 stack is pretty much a loss because a team full of communication + team chemistry will most likely beat a team that isn’t.
The rank difference is just shameless. I’m queueing diamond and having a gold/plat on my team. When I queue champ we have a plat on the enemy team. Like how is that even possible. Almost champ 1 and a plat is in my lobby??? These make the overall matches not even feel competitive and become a insta win/loss.
The point gain and loss. This also has to be because of the rank imbalance as well. First thing is no win streak bonus. Starting from copper and going all the way up to emerald. I pretty much got a flat 20rr every game. Winning 80% of my games it had no effect on my point gain, which doesn’t incentivize good performance or getting people out of ranks they don’t belong in. In some games where you win too much, they give you extra points per win or skip ranks to get you to verse equal skilled players quicker. Next is how much you win and lose. 20rr is pretty much the base but because the enemy team has one rank higher or lower it can nuke the rr gain. When soloing this hurts a lot. I would play in diamond and have a similar balance of teams but this game I lose 30rr and the next game I win only 13rr. I understand the logic where if a full champ team plays against a diamond team. They should only win 10rr and lose more. I get that but considering how the games ranking system is imbalanced, solos can verse 5 stacks and a 5 stack can have one unranked or super low rank on their team. They can essentially alter the rr gain to where I lose 30 and win only 15. The 10 rank difference needs to be fixed.
Lastly is the amount of cheaters and recoil scripters. I got about 100 games rolled back. Which is about 15% of my games. The roll back wave only gave me about 100+ rr because this was when I was pretty much solo queueing my games so it was 50/50 on getting a cheater on my team and enemies. Having rollback is a great feature for a rank system because gaining/losing points you don’t deserve matters. The problem with rollback waves is that someone who generally is emerald rank (despite how many cheaters they verse) gets a 1000+ rr rollback will now be Champ 1. The rollback is good but how much is given at one point affects the quality of players in some ranks. That guy is not Champ 1 skill and should
not be there. In an extreme case, a copper player gaining 4900+ rr rollback and is now Champ 1.
These are my thoughts about the ranking system and why it’s not fit for solo queue. I played 60-70% of the season as an inexperienced player and I think even an experienced player couldn’t solo to Champ 1 in Rank 3.0. Overall my challenge isn’t meant to be only solo and to be able to connect with people in the community. While I want to try to see if I can reach the highest rank solo and gain the skills/knowledge. I can do that while also playing with others and some games just aren’t designed for it.
I personally think I play at a Champ level on some maps (Casino) and Diamond on the others (Lair). Because of the amount of games played on them. R6 is very heavy on map knowledge and if you don’t have the reps on a map, you won’t really know what to do. Also it’s very hard to find people to play with who aren’t already established trusted players. I’m not going to play with random people who could be cheating.
@iiTzTimmy It would have been better to just 5 stack from the start. On one hand, I wish you would master all maps at a high level, but on the other, I realized that watching you suffer in solo q was just not fun to watch. I really appreciate your critique on the game as a whole. ggwp.
@oysumii2@Brennonclark7@iiTzTimmy I just felt like he was abusing dmr's kinda. not like thats disallowed ofc. the game sense part takes thousands of hours to learn well, so i wont say anything against him regarding that.
@venistaken@Tdizki02@iiTzTimmy you're out here calling people you don't know "fucking moron" while being some depressed clown. get a life retard. go take your meds and take care of your kid instead of arguing with strangers online 😂😂😂😂
@venistaken@Tdizki02@iiTzTimmy take your sorry ass somewhere else bro. I doubt you even played the game at any level that's higher than gold, since you say im so bad for hitting it in ranked 2.0
@tmtjuIian Siege is such a easy game, im sure you know a lot about it, since you insist on being so good across multiple games. The streamer who puts in 500 hours cant be the highest rank, maybe you could be! Actual fucking clown. Don't try to argue when you have ZERO clue 😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
@Duff_Enthusiast@Bxplu@SnipezMGMT@iiTzTimmy im not tryna hate on him as a person, i just feel like he should move on to the next game atp xd
learning siege at a high level, in such a short time just aint happening
@tmtjuIian@SnipezMGMT@iiTzTimmy legit the stupidest thing i've seen today bro. 0/10 ragebait. if he cant make it out of emerald/diamond in solo q in 200+ games, then he shouldnt play with pro players in champ.
@PhDSlime@SexHaver43_@Tdizki02@iiTzTimmy I dont get your point. Regardless, if he starts to 5 stack during his challenge, that would make it lame asf. Bless your heart though.
@Bxplu@SnipezMGMT@iiTzTimmy You're legit a dumbass bro. This would be the most boring "challenge" to watch if he starts to 5 stack with pro players. It wouldnt be a challenge at all.
@SnipezMGMT@iiTzTimmy I dont want to discredit him or his prior achievements. Its just hard to justify his eventual Champ 1 rank, if he starts 5 stacking with Ambi, Spoit etc. I hope that clears up the confusion. The challenge isnt over, so I'll wait and see.
@PhDSlime@SexHaver43_@Tdizki02@iiTzTimmy Kinda weird take to say ambi doesnt play like a pro.. sure its not on stage, but he is still better than 99.7ish% percent of players on the ladder.
@PhDSlime@SexHaver43_@Tdizki02@iiTzTimmy I get your point, im not saying he wont hit champ 1 for a reason. I just feel like if he actually solo queued he would either need another 400 games or maybe even be stuck for a while.
@PhDSlime@SexHaver43_@Tdizki02@iiTzTimmy Didn't they change the ranked system to queue you up based on the highest rank in the stack?? I don't think he is losing to "diamond 3 players" (im not sure if the matchmaking works like that still)
