Discussion Ranking

Why is the ranking system so weird? I do my rank matches to get my rank and every season, my role queue end up in gold or silver, never any higher etc. But yet when I do 6v6, I always end up in plat....What's the difference? Is it how I play or something?

🤷I’m emerald 3 in 6V6 and Gold 4 in 5V5.
A 2 rank spread.

6v6 is easier....way less players too and most of the better ones tend to keep to role queue.

My personal opinion, 6v6 is easier. I’m a supp main and in 6v6 I’m able to carry more on DPS. I don’t play dps EVER but I’m able to carry more for my team on that role. And teammates and enemies don’t have the awareness that I’d think they would for their rank. I’m in low masters in 6v6 and if they were to play 5v5 they would be mid plat-low emerald. Again just my opinion

I get you, I try and main dps but I struggle to get my dps out of gold and just fall into silver, 6v6 however, I play tank or support mostly and manage to play like the team im with are in sync if you get me
