About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7210 DaysI miss seeing MMR in-game. It made it a little easier to size people up. I knew to say a prayer when I saw a rank 65 Genji.
I still haven't calibrated but I'm not concerned with my starting position. I'll probably play a few hundred matches this season, since it's longer than season 1. That's a lot of time for my position to shift in one direction or the other. Half the fun (for me) is the challenge of climbing ranks after placement.
People are treating diamond (3000) like 60 last season.. which also sits right at the top 10% margin. It's funny.. there's a big bump in the leaderboard there, just like at 60 last season. Seems like people are hitting diamond and then taking a break :D

Since 7210 DaysI may wind up playing him a lot more.
Since 6535 DaysI finished my placements yesterday, got 2400, so hopefully i'll get up to platinum fairly fast.

Since 6535 DaysHow does the point system for ranked work by the by? I played one game and won, got 34 points. Played another and lost, but didn't get any points deducted. Wut?

Since 6535 DaysOr am i expected to play until i git gud in quickplay to then prove to blizzard that i can play in competitive? Like, fuck that. Why should i ever play competitive when it's 90% likely that i will only fall in rank?

And playing consistently well basically means filling your "fire" meter. Medals aren't important. Score per minute etc. is.
Since 6535 DaysDoesn't feel like a very appealing way of handling ranking. Luckily i'm at the high end of the gold tier, so i can afford to take a few more losses without worrying, but to me this is a real incetive killer. It feels like i'm being punished very harshly, for something that isn't entirely my fault (not saying i'm amazing at all, but some times you just have those teams where nobody knows wtf they are doing at all. I'm sure you can relate). Not to menton you are like a bajillion more times to be on fire in the games that swing your way to begin with.
Just seems like a system that wil unduly punish you for ending up on a shit team, unless you are godlike and can solo the entire other team. And i'm nowhere near that good.

Since 7210 DaysLosing ranks is discouraging but it comes with the territory I think.

Since 7210 DaysI think the format for assault maps still needs some tweaking. Draws seem kinda unnecessary to me. Matches that end in the same number of points can just be decided by time. I think rank may benefit from some simple stopwatch rules.
I still enjoy it way more than Quickplay now.
Since 7210 DaysFirst game out of placement \m/
That was 75 points for a win btw.. Now to lose some ranks!

Since 7210 DaysIt's that whole poorly flow of information that I'm always talking about. That doesn't help anybody really.
And it depends how it's all weighted I guess. That stuff isn't totally transparent so I don't know. Maybe as skill rating scales individual performance is weighed even more heavily. Some of that's a mystery to me.

Since 7210 DaysIt's NOT the FPS I thought Hi-Rez was going to make. I really thought they were going to do some kind of 5v5 tactical combat thing. Yeaaaa... nope.
Way different games but regardless I'm inclined to agree with that.
