I'm in your boat; 1.0 k/d though I have 1K+ wins in competitive from last season and 80+ in this new season. I have solo'd fabled 3 times now and in this new season I jumped up to 4900. Since the update I've gone down to ~3500 (with many breaks and over a period of a week or so) I lose so many games since the update due to 2v3's and miss balanced lobbies. I'm not sure how they updated it but I've barely won a game since the update and the few I have won hasn't made much of a impact since only a handful have been in a streak. I'm glad you had a good experience but your experience is not the majority. In my opinion I've seen/heard nothing but negativity towards this new update because it is obviously "not working as intended".

[quote]There's a lot of people hating on you guys right now. I honestly don't get it. I had 660 Crucible matches last season. 300 of those were in Competitive and most of them were solo until I realize I would never get to Fabled by myself. I finally made it. Throughout that journey, I got better. A lot better. I went in to Solo Survival and in less than 20 matches, hit Fabled. As a player who had to grind for weeks... months...to reach this goal last season, I definitely have noticed not just a HUGE change in MY ability, but in everything about the way Competitive (or now Survival) is. And it's for the better. Thank you for that. I genuinely believe that the people that -blam!- all the time are quite simply just...bad. I feel I have a right to say that because I was one of them.[/quote] I’ve been fabled three times. Twice by myself (once this season in freelance, once last season). The other time I played about 5 games at the end with another player because I didn’t believe I could do it alone (now I do) and I appreciated being able to talk to at least one other player during the games. It also helped with my anxiety about winning to have someone else “on my side”. I like the matchmaking this season, but I really just started playing comp more often lately. I am really glad there is a freelance queue and it seems like a lot of players are using it and enjoying it contrary to what so many players on the forums predicted. They were probably just hating on the idea because they do recovs and crutch on their teams help when they should be able to do it easier this season than ever before.

People aren't complaining about the experience to fabled...it's after that. If you can't hit fabled this season, you should probably just give up.

What ever. I went from 3900 to 3600 and I was at the top of the leaderboard every time and we lost. Only matchmaking can pair up such bad teams

Oh man I hit fabled just easy this season. To the point where I'm grinding up to legend. At mystic 3 1/2. Just burnt myself out from IB so I'ma take a pvp break lol. The new system is like their handling all the pinnacle weapons out for free now lmao. So many recluses up in IB now.

Cool, free recluse, take advantage before the nerf comes. I am very average but went on a 6 win streak due to favorable matchups. I dropped a match or two early and could swear I lost a small amount of glory but....I've been wrong before

Also if you lose points you never drop ranks until fabled

Yeah that’s how it works, but only with fabled 1. You can drop below fabled 2 and 3 but not below fabled 1.

Hey who knows you might carry them gl.

[quote]But isn't that just the point. If someone is JUST BAD. Put them up again other players who have the same skill level and not some meta hound sweat god who is going to stomp them[/quote] Sweat god to an newbie isn't probably true. Probably just an average player tbh. Also there probably isnt enough people their skills.
