I just started playing Overwatch 2 as a Valorant player and I ranked Bronze 4 and 5 for Support and Tank, but Gold 2 for DPS and I don’t understand it. And no I did not play well in any of those matches, I just locked Reaper, Junkrat, or Sojourn and threw the match. Idk if all the ranks are this scuffed but I think something needs to be changed with the MMR.

Overwatch placements got me hard.

It’s broken. A couple of my friends and I decided to try ranked for the first time and took all of our placement matches together. I believe I carried all of the games we won, and my friends completely agreed with me. I got ranked bronze, and my friends got ranked gold. I uninstalled after that.
Probably by performance
I’ve been told by some people it’s more based on your performance (k/d, accuracy, payload time etc) and less on if you win or not. Sometimes you lose a game you would’ve won with a different tm8.
Blizzard doesn’t know how to make games. If you didn’t know wow just got hit with a bug after a new patch h that just got rid of several clans items some of which are unobtainable anymore. Their response “we don’t make a copy or back up of everything players do” blizzard is a joke of a company
OW2 doesn’t take performance into account it’s based on team strength and who is predicted to win
Skill based matchmaking is in quick play too and it looks at that when you start ranked for the first time
ooohhh so YOUR my ranked dps teammate
It’s not about wins and losses. I got 9/1 wins on my tank placements and got gold 2 but on my 7/3 dps ranking I got plat 3.
It’s about multiple things, but mainly your overall contribution and skill to play with your team the right way.
They use some algorithm that’s way more complicated than it once was back in the olden days but it is pretty accurate on the right ranking
You gain a hidden MMR in each role you play in quickplay. That MMR is then transfered to your rank placements when you start, moving up or down with wins and losses seprately from your quickplay MMR. This is especially important if youre a new player/dont play ranked because then the MMR changes are very extreme as the game tries to figure out where you truly are. Placement ranks dont matter too much, if you keep playing each role in ranked, youll end up where youre supposed to be.
As someone who used to be gold I say this tracks
Same but i vot gold for bother dps and tank then diamond in support i was astonished but also happy then a new season came out and took my rank 😢
It's broke and sucks. Always has always will.
Pause… i won each of my games, got an average of 30 kills each game and i was put in bronze one. What is this game bro 😭
Pause… on dps I won each of my games, got an average of 30 elims each game and was put in bronze 2. What is this game man 😭
brand new accounts get placed by hidden mmr from your quick plays so basically you won more and played more dps in quick play so your hidden mmr is higher then support and tank which you didn’t win as much ok but if your account hasn’t been played on since ow1 then it will hard reset you due to rank decay and all the rank resets so if you were diamond in ow1 you might place gold then have to grind back up if hope you u understood any of this
i have on dps 2 FUCKING LOSSES AND IAM IND FUCKING SILVER
Im silver player, I made new account and my placement was gm 5. Ive stayed in gm since and currently hold gm 4
Game is dogshit. Next question.
I think its mostly based on your quick play games from what I can tell. Like for example I was playing on a new account and after playing enough quick play games to go into comp (dps only) the system knew exactly where i should be in comp and placed me diamond and even after losing most dps games it forced me to stay in diamond and in comp on tank and support my rank fluctuated hard
Noticing you said “We” for DPS. If you did your tank and support alone by yourself as a new player it’s putting you in lower ranking lobbies to ease you into it. If you played DPS with friends or another player you are going to get lobbies closer to their ranks. Then ranked system is janky though but to simplify. If you play by yourself you’re getting lobbies the game thinks is around your level as a new player, if you play with friends it’s trying to find games in the median of each other ranks meaning harder lobbies = more MMR
DPS is the least impactful role so you get higher ranked accordingly
If you have a new account/ you’re a new player, your placement games are based on the first games you’ve played as the system in ow2 has something what I call ‘shadow ranks’ it’s how the system groups you up with other people, even without touching comp at all. For example, if you won your first few games, then your probably silver and so on until you finally struggle. And the placement calculate based on how you did on you quick play games.
I got easy 20-30 kills a game winning 8/10 and got bronze 5
I want to see less Kiriko favouritism…oh wait.
So the how the system actually works is that it compares your performance in match to other players of that hero.
Then places you in ranks were your performance matches with those players.
In OW2 Dps has the least impact on a match compared to tank and support
