I got Ritualist V, lost my first 4 placement matches really badly. Only manages a 2/7 win rate in the end.

None, I decided against queuing for now. Probably would have been Initiate though lol
I got Archon 2, think I went 5/7 in my placement matches with the last two beings losses. I think I performed well in them still fwiw, had a couple carries in earlier matches.
Pretty happy considering this is more or less my first MOBA I've actually gotten into. Have been thinking my MMR has dragged the party I usually play with in casuals into tougher matches.
tracklock.gg says Archon V, not home yet to check ingame
I also got Archon V. Checked my ranked matches after, and a lot of them had Ascendents in them.
Oracle IV, goat gang. Was worried because I got bodied in my first two of the ranked matches but afterwards they seemed to be a lot more even, win or loss.
Noice. How many matches did you end up playing?
Just the 7 needed; while I generally had pleasant teammates in the ranked matches I don't enjoy solo games a much as playing with a friend. I'm going to try to keep up with the ranked games each week, but I don't see myself playing much more than the minimum needed for that.
I got put in archon 5, I was 11 wins and 10 losses. I have become Abrams q presser and.. I've just been happier for it.
So far my two ranked matches since were both rather enjoyable, even the loss so fingers crossed that continues.
Oracle 5; I don't remember my win ratio, but I only played like 9 games.
That seems pretty good. I wonder how many people get awarded each rank, whether it's all the same, or if the number shrinks for the higher ranks.
It will most likely be a bell curve distribution as usual, with Eternus 6 and Initiate 1 being the by several magnitudes most rare ranks.
I'm on Emissary V. Friend of mine I party up with sometimes got Emissary II, so apparently we're a good match.
I lost more than half of my matches, but I was also the best player in the match in several of them, despite my team losing.
I only played the seven games necessary for a placement as I've been busy and also often lack the energy to properly focus on Deadlock. Given the quick play lobbies matchmaking has put me in (I was in a ~1100 neko score lobby the other week) I was bracing for a garbage rank as I also know my aim isn't good and I'm getting older - though I don't know if stuff like accuracy and movement is considered by the algorithm.
Ended up as Emissary which overall is a rank I'm quite happy with. I've mostly had a positive experience with ranked so far, so I just hope I'm not put in a skill bracket that's too high for me to keep up with.
