So I am curious if you ran all your games solo or ran with a stack, possibly a combination of both? What was your overall record? 196 is a lot of games. I played 209 games and went 98-111. I might have played 10 at most with someone else and none more than 4 in the stack. I would say that the experience wasn't horrible but I was chasing after triumphs - IB and general Crucible. I would say that the biggest disappointment was that I never got the 20 kills without a loss, for that matter looking back, I didn't really see anyone else get it either. Bigger than that I didn't get the 7 kills without a loss, I have a clanmate that got it and not seeing all the records yet, would bet 5 players I played with or against got it in the 209 games I was a part of. I have never gotten the 7th column metal, there was one for IB I didn't get it either - based on sbmm, this was my best shot. The most I got was 5 and that was by pure luck, got 2 with a grenade (I think) and then used nova warp. Upon the ending of the match got 3 quick kills taking the total to 5. Don't know if there would have been the opportunity to get it had the match continued but it is what it is. But where I end - according to Tracker I am a platinum player - that's right a 98-111 losing record in season 5 and I am platinum - can you explain that to me please? I don't know what Guardian.gg has me as nor do I know how to figure it out.

  • [quote]So I am curious if you ran all your games solo or ran with a stack, possibly a combination of both?[/quote] I ran most solo, probably at least 150 of the 196. I ran about 15 with between 4-6 and another 10-12 with 3, the rest of the difference in a group of 2. [quote]What was your overall record? 196 is a lot of games. I played 209 games and went 98-111.

It's another medal that's been cheapened by QP mm. [quote]I have never gotten the 7th column metal, there was one for IB I didn't get it either - based on sbmm, this was my best shot.

SBMM doesn't make easier games, it makes more balanced and fair games. QuickPlay without sbmm is where players go for those medals because they can get matched against players so much lower skill, they have no business playing then.

DTR resets stats every season and so with how they run their ELO, it can get way too skewed. Guardian.gg doesn't reset. It's cumulative over the entirety of D2 and so tends to give a better picture of where players really are. According to ggg, you're a silver player in pretty much every playlist. The site got jacked up Saturday and stopped showing player ELO'S within games, but going to your games before that, they're basically all against bronze, silver and gold opponents. Went through 63 of your Titan's games and in them you came across 9 Platinum and 1 Diamond player. https://guardian.gg/2/profile/4611686018469638646/icecoldkidd Just pick which character and set the filter to iron banner. Also, if you're on Xbone I'm pretty sure we played each other last week. If not it was someone with a very similar gt

    thank you, I really appreciate the feedback though I differ on one point/counterpoint. In my stats I believe I saw 2 players that got to 17 or 18 and 0 before the match was called as a Mercy - so no shot for them to get to 20. and I don't have it backwards - in QP currently (hold the phones, let me back up - I SUCK AT PvP, also I tend to loath it) without the sbmm I have absolutely no shot at getting 7th column - based on the number of stacks/better skilled/whatever you want to call it that is out there. In the IB - I was playing with other players that were just as bad as I am - meaning my chance at getting a 7th column is increased - sure it went from 0% to 2% but that IMO is a huge improvement and (while unrealistic) made me feel like I had a shot at achieving it. Heck I got to 5 quick kills. I was impressed and disappointed at the same time - in 209 games I did it once. I think I may have gotten to 3 possibly twice. though getting 2 kills happen a bunch of times - actually I could probably pull the stats since I think they are tracked. I guess I agree that the medals are an achievement and difficult to get but should not be for just the best of the best - why can't the bottom of the barrel also get them. you say that the best play the worst so that they can get the medals and "show them off" - why don't the best play the best and get the metals? too difficult??? - so then when the worst play the worst why can't they get the metals - not as a fell good or as a pity - but because they did what is difficult to do. I play on PS4 so from your statement, you and I never crossed paths. I'm sure you would have one tapped me with a smg from across the map, around the corner, through 2 rocks and 3 doors that were closed. (Answers: Give me five (twice) Go fourth (four) Triple strike (twenty nine) Double quick (207))

    From what I saw from some of his info is that he played with a team.
