Anyone Else "Challenging" Themselves with Ranked?

[Kelkador]

My personal goal is to get to at least A- only using the Dynamo Roller. What's your personal challenge?

Nah, too frustrating. You have one bad teammate and basically nothing you can do about it except lose or hope the other team does too.

 

[JuddTheCat]

If challenging yourself means to use a weapon you don't know how to use, I wouldn't recommend doing that. You got to help your team the best way possible.

This. Oh god this.

While this is certainly frustrating....

If there is only 1 bad player in the group of 8, then you have a much better % chance of that "bad player" being on the opposing team.

I wouldn't call 12.5% much.

My challenge is to get S rank in splat zones without using voice chat ;)

It would be 14.4% :$ you did 3/8 but it should be 3/7 cause you can't count yourself. But i agree with you, it's not really great odds. 42.8% chance you get stuck with the 1 bad guy.

But I know how to use the Dynamo Roller. :[

Getting passed C- is my personal goal, which is gonna be hell without being able to communicate with my team

 

[GamingWarthog]

Not screaming 'you @#$%ing idiots' for three consecutive matches.

 

[Soul Train]

This game has made me rage harder than anything. When I use the Scoped Charger, go 10-0, get 1000 points, and STILL lose, I'm freaking yelling hardcore at my team.

Really, it's healthy. I swear.

This absolutely. It's not even that the game type isn't even fun or anything, but good God some randoms just can't put two and two together. It's not even about being particularly good at the game - if we get stomped, that's one thing - but I always feel like at least 1/3rd of my matches involves me raging about how my team literally runs into sniper fire, refuses to push out of fear, or doesn't ever consider flanking unless they super jump to me. I managed to kill all four memebers on a team today in ranked in one quick go and we still couldn't hold it down, because I had strayed too far from the splat zone while doing this.

So right now my biggest challenge is not breaking any screens while playing. (But honestly I'd be happy as B+/A- before team making is included.)

It's slightly higher than that, but either way it implies that, if you are the constant good player, your win rate should be greater than 1.0.

I've definitely been trying it! It's really challenging. At first I think I'm doing really well, and then something happens and I lose like 3 matches in a row. I even deranked from rank C+ to C yesterday before coming rank B- today!

It was kind of discouraging, but I figured the only way to keep getting better is to just keep playing and keeping trying until I get better. So I've kept playing and I'm hoping it works out!

I'm going for rank A+ or whatever is the highest rank as soon as possible!
I'm pretty overwhelmed, though. I won't lie, I'm pretty scared of deranking right now from rank B- to C+.

Don't be scared, happened to me. I climbed my way back up to B. It's been fun playing ranked so far, I just hate when you get matched with people 4 ranks below you....

 

[Davybot]

my challenge to myself is keeping a decent rank, and not losing so much. Gosh Splat Zones is difficult.

 

[SkyBlue]

at c+ right now. Hoping to get to and keep a soid B/B+ 'till august comes.

 

[SolarTrifle]

I just want to stay in B and not drop, but I'm going to wait a few weeks until mid-summer when the ranks have settled to play a lot of splat zones since I want to find my actual skill bracket in splat zones since most top-tier players are still climbing their way up through B and I would rather not go on unnecessary losing streaks Q.Q
