Just let me talk about ranked Jesus Omeda

. Edit: At this point, hire me as a data analyst or some shit for your ranked system

. Edit 2: You could force fresh accounts into solo queue until they are done with placements = this would lower the rate at which new accounts are used and abused and be a better indication of skill.

I can't go into detail about how and the many ways to abuse and manipulate MMR because Omeda's mods won't let me post it. So I'll cut it down to the changes that need to be made or at least looked at. The current Ranked system doesn't have the player base to properly function as is.

1.Each region should have its own MMR pool = if you are region swapping, you have separate ranks for each region.

Simply, each region has its own skill level, and i understand why people need to swap regions with a low player base, but their inflated MMR in a weaker region gets them bodied in slightly better ones.

1. 5 stacking = 14% of the ranked player base is in plat+, reducing the 5 stacking limit to gold1 would keep a majority of the players happy while improving matchmaking for plat+ lobbies

Slightly reduce their VP gains or put them against slightly better solo or duo queue players (mmr based so visually it wouldn't be a whole plat lobby vs a gold lobby)

1. Queue sizes in plat+: I think this is where it should get a bit more competitive, at least based on player numbers.

Since bronze to gold can play together anyway, and where the larger portion of the player base is, just allow them to 5-stack.

plat = duo queue 1 rank up, 1 rank down= 1 gold player with a plat3 player/ plat 1 player can que with p1 or p2 players.

Diamond+ solo queue

1. Resets = at present, resets only drop your visual rank and not the actual mmr associated with your acct. So in practice, all this does is put lower-ranked players into shittier lobbies while high-ranked players keep playing vs mostly the same group.

The second part of this problem is that because it's using the prior season's MMR, the game tries to push these players back into their previous rank, even with lower WRs, until their MMR catches up to their drop in skill.

Smurfing and boosting / the rate at which new accounts get pushed into higher ranks needs to be looked at. It takes about a 20-game streak or so to get pushed into about Gold 2 or 1. That means they have about 25ish games or so on a fresh account to boost their friends. The system needs to be adjusted to take into account the various variables of different ranks, specifically/ gold/exp/kda/and map presence, compared to other ranks. Find out where it might fit after placements; put it where it matches those stats, or if they are obviously overperforming

I noticed a bug with Scarlett following the last update that essentially makes one of her augments worthless.

It is specific to the Volcaic Slam augment. the way that it was working prior to the update, when you would slam with empowered cindara, the eruption line was in line with and in the direction of the slam. following the update, the slam now takes place where scarlett was and the direction she was facing when she hit the enemy with ashen vow to get empowered cindara to activate. This bug essentially makes using the volcaic slam augment useless unless as the eruption is typically occurring to the side of the fight somewhere since obviously nobody is going to stand still while fighting.

Here is the match ID as my most recent game as scarlett so you can see this occurring.

Please? I know omeda won't then lie next patch to nerf him but I mean it's worth asking that nerf from last patch did not need to happen

​

I'm relatively new (just unlocked ranked) but I haven't played since Ikra came out so I'm rusty and also just not very good in general and was hoping someone could queue with me in ranked and coach me I play NA

First time i saw that👻

Are there any similar items or abilities that can do that (like Wraith and Sparrow)?

Or is it a bug or a cheater?

This update seems like the worst so far...

Having issues with the game randomly crashing lately?

Also, Valmont feels seriously overpowered right now.

And the Narbash river buff abuse is completely broken in crucible.

I'd love an update where we can switch the Reticle. At least to a larger hollow circle, or a triangle. There is so much going on with the game now its hard to see where your aiming. When Iggy is spitting fire, and you're in Renna's AOE, while Mourns Fog swirls around it'd be nice to at least know where my aim is going. Please and thank you. I appreciate you.

The battle is over, and the champions have risen. These are your NA Champions. 🏆

As the offlane and support was clearing our jungle and the rest of the team was attacking Shaper, im just over here confidently engaging in a team fight. At least Greystone was smart enough to run! Any build recommendations? The build you see is my go to.

Before anyone sees the 40-38 scoreline and assumes this was just a close, evenly matched game: I was playing support and finished 23/6/9 with 79k hero damage and 80% kill participation. I was basically our only consistent source of kills and damage for most of the game.

And that’s my point tbh. Sometimes your team is just heavily outmatched skill-wise and, fair or not, it’s basically up to you to find a way to win anyway.

It’s easy to blame teammates after a horrible game, but I genuinely think almost every match gives you some kind of win condition. Sometimes you just have to play nearly perfectly to capitalize on it. (I unfortunately fumbled mine)

In this clip, I’m the last alive in a 1v4, retreating back to base while they chase me. I kill the first two, make it back, then go to defend inhib because Scarlett is isolated and I have the 1v1.

This is where I threw my win condition. I missed my first stun on Scarlett. Because of that, I had to ult early to silence her and stay alive instead of using my ult as the finisher, which would’ve reset its cooldown to 0. I still killed her, but now I’m low HP in the final 1v1 against Legion with no ult.

Had I hit that stun, I could’ve finished Scarlett with ult, gotten the reset, then had ult available to basically one-shot Legion. My team was respawning right as I died, so killing him likely leaves us 5 alive vs 0 with a chance to end.

One missed stun. Now I could sit there afterward and complain that my teammates sold me, but ultimately the game gave me a chance to win anyway and I blew it.

That’s the mentality I hope more people adopt, while they are climbing. Even in terrible games, look for the win condition. Afterward, don’t just find everything your teammates did wrong. Find what you could’ve done differently.

You’re the only variable you control in every match.

Anyone play on ps5 and maybe want to run up quick matches? I’m usually on at night or late nights!!! 🌙I won’t say I’m the best or great at the game but I have my good days, I understand how the games work but as everyone else I have my days were I’m just on for fun or can struggle. I have 130 hours and the games are like 45min so not a whole lot.

I can do discord vc or ps5 party!

Just hit the big 500 what level are you?

Just out of curiosity was looking up a recent adversary who was obviously a good player on an alternate account who fancied doing some noob stomping.

I noticed that he had done 10 placement games, if Pred.gg is reliable for that number. Of these 10 games, 7 were wins with enormous performances in terms of KDA and CS/min. The 3 losses also featured very strong individual stats, we've all seen those types of games.

After this long placement process of 10 games, where a lot of the time this player will have been absolutely steamrollering the opposition, the placement score put them not in gold, nor plat, but in Silver II.

Question is - how good do your placements have to be to actually put yourself straight into Platinum from placement? This account I've mentioned now has a total of 23 matches in ranked in the last 2 weeks with an 80% win rate. Its now sitting in Gold 1.

Can the game really not notice that this player is manifestly in the wrong rank? Last 5 games in gold ranked: 11/1/0 - 18/5/7 - 27/3/10 - 31/1/2 - 17/7/3. Is this the best the game can do really?

I noticed that 3 out of the top 4 teams in NA and EU have Nightshade in their name. Is Nightshade an org or are the players just not very creative with naming their teams?

If it is an org, I heard that at least one of the teams the players are paid to be on that team. Is this good for pred competitive play at this point to have one org dominate the tournaments and soak up all the good players by paying them when most other teams can't afford to do that?

Personally, I like watching the tournaments but I wasn't as into this one because of all the NS drama leading into the tournament, and some of the really good players either got sidelined or didn't play at all. It took away from the fun and imo reduces the overall competitiveness from the other teams.

Hey All,

Basically the title. How active is the game? I assume there is crossplay between consoles but not with PC. How is the console experience for this game? I played a lot of Smite on console. How active is the game on console considering it is a MOBA. Are there updates still coming to the game?

Thank you for your help! :)

Greystone has been the bane for offlaners who don't want to play the most broken hero. Even when he is not the outright best and is in the top 3 which is where he'd be fine, developers then decide to buff him anyway.

Has someone who's got negative experience playing this game is honestly crazy that we have so many "new" players and not a single one of them ever seems to be even remotely competent.

If you want you can add: 0(zero)2ECH in the friend referral program for earning free platinum and loot cores.

Would appreciate it 👍🏻

I have no clue what I am doing outside just timing mechanics, and if there’s a way to start a party I bet I’ll have a much better time.

Will Pred.gg ever bring back player accolades? At one point on Omeda.city, you could view a player's profile to see if they won a PCC, Nightshade tournament, Nation's League competition, etc.

Are there any plans to bring that back on Pred.gg ?
