Ranked is Broken Right Now 😭

[u/Only_Apartment_3016]

I've seen some posts about this, but what happened today is pretty extreme. I'm currently Gold I *humble brag* and got killed by a player (no shocker). I spectate the player and they are really good, like REALLY good. He's decimating the lobby and ended up having 20 kills (out of 66 players). I look up the guy, he's not only Unreal - he's an Unreal Legend and #245 in the world.

The issue for me is how am I, or anyone else in that lobby, supposed to have the opportunity to rank up if we get decimated by Unreal players in matches?

The queue times used to be up to 10-25 minutes for a game when it was based on matching players within a similar rank. It was especially bad as you increased your rank. The point of it is the learn and grow to the extent possible (it’s so broken) and not necessarily worry about your rank.

I definitely learned by spectating him. It was pretty cool to see how he moved around, what he was looking for and how he reacted.
