I don't think it actually includes anything, apart what public SBMM got, since I've seen many pros get gold and plat, while streamers all where getting diamonds
makes no sense i was div 9 and my duo was too he has like 400 more points then me but he got plat 1 and i got gold 3 i have more wins in arena and pubs by a decent amount ranked is broken
Epic made the first game sound more important than it actually is. The first game has to do with the percentage of which you start in, but your rank was determined by how well you did in arena. For instance, I got Gold II because I barely played arena last season and was only Div6, whereas my friend who got Div8 placed Plat2.
im a lil late but that doesnt make sense i havent played in 3 years last time I played was season 8 played 1 ranked game guy got the gun before me died off spawn and I got plat
Ranked actually makes me enjoy playing with randoms more now just for fun. Every once in a while I'd hop on and play with random people either when Arena was still around or jus play filled duos, trios (before Epic fucked up and removed it), and squads but now I've been playing with random people everyday. It's quite fun.
its already predetermined before you play your first match, the guy that got the 30 bomb was using an alt account, using a free skin and a free pickaxe EDIT: you can see at the end he is level 11
I really love how fortnite is improving the competitive community and strive and try their hardest every day to make it as enjoyable as they can for every player that plays competitive out there 😃
Bro it is hard to rank up the que is to long im only gaining 10 percent and I dropped 33 kills solos in gold 3 its extremely unconsistint with rank ups
That’s so relatable. I watched some RU-vidrs die on spawn and getting Platinum III which made me so happy when I won my first ranked game with 12 kills just to realise that I got Silver I.
Yo premfn the reason the ranked is like that it's really based on how long you have played (what season started) and it's only that first game so kills didn't count that much in the first game but after that they matter more.
I would say there is like a range were you can be ranked at based on your rank the seadon before and your 1. round like kinda then picks where you land so that has a small effect on it i guess
Fortnite also take into account your Fortnite account age (when you first started Fortnite) when ranking. For example mc creamy on his main who died off spawn got into diamond 1 just because he joined in season 1.
Im pretty sure the rank system gives your rank based off of previous stats during the season so like how many wins you've gotten accumulatively or accolades in build games before this was announced, same with no builds.
Yeah I think the ranking system used to be broken because when me and my friend were actually trying we got like 2% of rank xp for a top 3 placement. But if we died right away then we got a big boost. So I said we should rry diving off the edge of the map as soon as we spawn and it worked and we got multiple free rank ups that way befor ethey eventaully fixed it😂
I never played arena , my first rank was plat2, I’m now diamond 1. I’ve averaged top 5 with 2-4 kills each game. Doesn’t seem to make complete sense yet.
The reason you got platinum is because before the update epic games decided to make it so the last few matches you played counted towards your placement this update
That’s basically me and my friend how I only got bronze I and he got plat I. Now I’m plat II and he’s unreal. I don’t play ranked too often and I’m not even that good at Fortnite anyways
Was playing my frist comp game of the season with my friend. We got a total of 22 kills together and won the game, but we both ended up placing in silver 1 xD
It doesn’t matter how well you do it places you given how well your stats are in gaming overall. I always start in low silver for builds and high bronze for no builds. It all depends.
the first game does not determine the rank it just reveals it. so it already knew you were going to be that rank because it takes into acount past performance
It really makes no sense, it happened to me as well. I was literally Platinum last season, and finished top 1 with 17 kills for my new placement game : I ended bronze 3….💀
Fortnite gives more points if you take less damage for some reason so even though that guy got 30 kills that also means they took a crazy amount of damage
For anyone who doesn't know, the first guy who killed him at 1hp was Slacks, a member of the high-earning FN team Dignitas, and pro players like Bugha, Acorn and Khanada play on that team. Slacks is the 90th best pro player in the world and he was unranked when he fought Prem.
Pretty sure the guy hitting 30 kills win was on a new account meaning he got placed low rank. The rank you get placed after your first game isnt based on ONLY that game. Its based on all your previous progress on your account. Resulting in the guy dying off spawn with zero kills still getting plat 1 rank. It does make sense.
the first game is an example of why i wait till mid season and then start doing ranked because then start of the season absolute sweats who were unreal last season (because they only play ranked and ranked only) sooo if you wait you will get all bot lobbies and ez rank up from the placement match.
People playing squads generally are worse because they actually have friends and people who play solos sweat like crazy (and thats why they don't have friends...)
