Got Gold Nova 3 back today, mostly due to the wonderful Censured, ArtyK and TurboDreams from TL here who I queued with. So, so much fun to play with good, calm and coordinated players. It's a different game compared to solo queue.
I was there ! :D
It was a blast to play without someone leaving the game in the first 5 minutes, though thanks to my OVER 9000 PING i almost did haha

DMG for life signing in.
I don't ever expect to move. I'm at like 570 wins and I've played 90% of them at DMG solo queue. Maybe it's my skill cap, maybe it's cheaters and bad streaks but I don't ever move. I've got down to double ak probably 6-7 times but always carry my games and easely get back to dmg within 10 or so games.
The only way I play vs eagles consistently is by queueing with other peoples, I've won several and could probably get to eagle if I stopped the solo queue but I won't.
My only hope is when (if) they introduce a "mm2" with a soft reset and a different ranking system.

Started playing like 2 weeks ago, got Gold Nova 1, promoted to 2, back to 1, and last night got demoted to silver :D Does anyone know the rank distribution percentages, like what you can check for SC2 on nios.kr? I can't believe how bad I must be when getting demoted to silver compared to what I think of myself. In SC2 would constantly think how bad people were and then see them having a high rank. In CS I get rekt by people oneshotting me before I can barely react and then they are like gold nova 2 ^^

I havent been playing much lately, with like a couple of games a week..
It's been a slow decent, from mge to nova 3 hahaha

Id like to take a moment to acknowledge all the faceless players out there who have ranked up from losses or ties. I dont care what the internet says; it's possible.
I've also seen people rank down after a win.

Again, it's been rumoured that the algorithms for ranking up / down are heavily based on comparing your personal your person mmr against that of the other team. So playing 'well' against a bad team might give you less of a boost than playing 'badly' against a much better team

Not ranking up or down, but simply trying to improve while playing ESEA. Lost a close one that went double OT. The struggle is real. >_>

Was DMG when I played quite a bit about 2 months ago. Since then exams and a new girlfriend and I have downranked to Master Guardian I  My goal is to get back to MGE by the end of February!

think im on a streak of 9 wins and 2 pre-round 15 surrenders, think i placed out of top3 within team only once, and still no eagle promotion... kinda discouraging considering people call the jump from eagle and up even more hellish

i think that once you get to that point, it's best to start looking towards getting involved in league play since you're at the skill level to play in open divisions and get better there

It also has been hinted at that ranks are sometimes given to you after you actually acquire it.
So for example you lose a game and the system decides it needs to rank you down, but it does not apply the change to your actual displayed rank. Then you win a game where you don't gain enough "elo points" to gain back that rank, the system applies the change to your displayed rank.
Something like that.
Its probably done like that avoid cases where you rank up and then immediatly rank down after a single loss. The system makes sure that you either deserve a promotion or a demotion.

I'm unbelievably terrible at this game.
I've only won like 3 games and i'm not ranked.
apparently I had to wait 24 hours to play again or something.
It's an awesome game and it's much deeper than I thought.

It goes away after you win 10 games and you get your rank.
