So this person was negative in 4 matches out of the 5 placements and still got the highest rank i.e. S3. Like how??? Do placements even matter????

Silver three is not the highest placement rank The highest placement rank is ascendant 1 if I remember correctly He got a fair amount of kills in the games he won, and even where he didn’t get a lot of kills he still got a bunch of assists Theres also stuff like combat score and econ rating than can come into play

your previous rank comes into play as well if you did have one

Simply be a good team player and you can get a decent rank Yup Usually you’ll start queuing at the rank you were last act or maybe a few divisions lower than that one From there you can either do well and get a higher rank, do worse and get a lower rank

Silver 3 isn’t too high of a placement rank to get for your first rank Its a good rank to get, but at least they didn’t get plat as their first rank

Doing stuff as little as getting recons for your team mates can get you more rr Performance bonuses although might sound like they do little Will usually tell you you’re being a good team player

I'd say I'm good at it but def didn't master yet
gab
gab2y ago
I’d suggest playing unrated with neon doing good practice with her If you still think it’s because of the duellists job Try switching roles maybe, give them a try Its all what you think works best for you really Maybe even a game mode that allows you to spawn with abilities already bought Like spike rush
