https://twitter.com/theflyingdj/status/628596353573072896 They almost did a complete 180 after the backlash from the community. I guess they can listen when they really try, or when enough people are pissed. Still, it must have taken a lot for them to ask thorin (who has always great and well-thought rankings), especially after "that" incident and the cold relationship they had with him since then. Edit: btw, are twitter previews broken since the new design of TL? | ||

you're going to get so much subjectivity now if its based on one person. in my opinion if you're going to have person-based rankings you should at least have a panel of five or something. | ||

To his credit, that was what Thorin was proposing in his video about the subject. A panel of expert. Still, Thorin's ranking is very good. Especially compared to ESL's. Also, I don't think ESL contacted him to make a hand-crafted ranking. They want his opinion on how to improve the automatic ranking, and he had a lot of great points about that too (well, atleast on why the ESL ranking system does so bad). | ||

im slowly doing my placement matches and so far out of 12ish games i had a bunch of angry kids that screamed nonstop and then voted to kick me off a guy that shouted "I GO B,I GO A, FUCK YOU I DO WHATEVER I WANT" and 2 rounds later started shooting at his own team a 3 team of total idiots blocking doors just to molotov us, randomly sitting on eachother at the spawn and giggling over trying to do 360 jump shots (i thin k they even randomly met on the server and found that they are equaly stupid after one started the blocking...) 4 russians not speaking a single word of english that spent half the match camping on own spawn buying nothing till they had the money for an awp. a match where 2 of my team left within 5 minutes a match where 2 of the enemy team left within 10 mihutes if 50% bullshit waste of time is what i have to expect here then maybe i should just stop. im too busy to randomly waste an hour watching some kids go through their puberty. | ||

Your situation is pretty bad but it gets slightly better at higher ranks, I mean, really slightly. Depends on luck as well. I can usually only play solo queue midnight but I highly suggest you dodge those times. Haven't really paid attention to other times on which is good. I've come a long way to realize that when it's just one of those games, I just play the game. If you prefer ignore everyone but I rather have a little but of information still. Sometimes I just go ham and turn on music to relax, when it's a really unlucky day. | ||

You have to win 10 times to get placed. I don't have any problem at all when queueing, it got a lot better around gold nova master. | ||
