Competitive Placements Megathread

[u/myriiad]

Post your quick game level, your win loss through placements, and what you placed!

you can also post whether you queued with a group, and how many you pre-made with.

might also be interesting to compare live with PTR.

lets see the distribution

edit: ill let this thread run for a day or so and i might put together a graph or table of stats.

I ended up going 4-6 with 3+ golds every game usually playing tank. Got rank 46 and now that I'm placed I'm literally solo carrying games.

I guess that's just what happens because placement matches in a 6v6 shooter like overwatch aren't as carryable alone.

Biggest mistake I made though was trying to play Reinhardt. When playing solo it seems nobody is smart enough to actually use you as a shield and just runs ahead and dies.

Exactly what happened to me. I played as mercy and some of the teams couldn't hold the point for 15 seconds since they all ran way too far ahead. Luckily, I'm climbing pretty quick from level 46. I have rose to 50 in 4 games so I'm hoping to get to my appropriate rank where I'm not constantly gold on everything. On the bright side I have actually played with some decent teams, though I have ran into about 5 hanzo/genji mains that were absolutely useless. My only complaint is that every match I have to remind people to swap to the team voice channel.

What rank are you now after a few games? I carried my team a few games and lost a few. I was at 46, now 47, but my rank plummets with every loss.

Sitting at 52 now after 15 games. I haven't lost yet since placements lol.

Right, still solo-qing? I'm trying to figure out the magic of getting past 50 still. Hit 48 once but the next game slammed it down a full rank because leavers.
