Do you guys think the CP awarded for each rank is fine? If you're plat you need 4 seasons(3 if you play enough games to get 200 extra each season) for one golden weapon, when there are 25 heroes and even more steadily rolling in.
A bronzie would need to play for an eternity of seasons to get a golden skin :P
Yeah, I think it's pretty stupid. I might hit gold this season, and even if I keep getting gold (which tbh is prolly about where I am, skill wise) it'd take me 8 seasons to get 1 gold weapon. That's 3+ years. I don't have an entitlement complex or anything, but that seems really excessive.
From my guess, your initial comp rating is based on your quick MMR + those 10 placement matches. Your quick play rating is going to continue to change independent of whatever you do in comp until the next season start and you get your new comp rating based off your quickplay MMR.
It's supposed to be personal performance with win/losses taken into account but not the deciding factor. It's possible you didn't play as well during placements as you may have been doing last season? Most people I've played with placed between 2-300 below where they ended last season. 800 is kinda drastic though.

My friend got 100 for 1 match after a 7 game win streak. Don't ask how low his ranking was.

5 victories, 4 losses, 1 draw, 3367 Diamond placement, not bad. Lost two games due to poor teamwork (people blaming each other) and the draw was for the same reason, hopefully now that I'm out of the placement matches there will be less of that...
Was 3520 master last season (stopped there as Master was my goal, we'll see how far I can push this time).
Edit:
Huh... Lost one game, german map, we were completely dominated unable to take the first point (let alone get past the first choke even once, their Symmetra had a shield up before 30 seconds had passed, not joking), we couldn't hold anything. Lost about 15 points.
Next game; route 66: We get the first 3 points with little difficulty and manage to hold half way past the first point, I went up like 50 points to 3399. Interesting...
Won Hanamura, gaining 45 points, ending up at 3444. I don't recall gaining this much points in the past, is the game trying to place me back at 3520?

Jesus Christ the clusterfuck of suck I have gotten with tonight. Not just losing, but losing BADLY.
The intelligence of some of these teammates of mine with their picks is just baffling.
Was at 25, now dropped straight to 23.

Just had a placement match where the enemy team were seconds away from victory only for me to swoop in at the last possible moment and resurrect five of my teammates. The sooner they add the proposed 'record highlights' feature, the better. I'd love to upload plays like that but I'm too lazy/cautious to download third party software to do it.
It's supposed to be based on your personal performance, with "on fire" status being a good rule of thumb.
If you're underperforming with that hero for that map/side relative to other players at your rank, you'll lose more than you'd gain. And vice versa if you perform better.
I got placed stupidly low in Silver this season, lower than I had EVER been ranked, and since placement, I've been gaining 35-40 rank per win, and losing about 15-20 per loss. I lost my first two matches after placements, then won one, and set a new season high (meaning my points from one win were more than the combined points from two losses).
I'm back in Gold now, and climbing fast, I'm just not playing Overwatch every day, necessarily. Mostly 3-4 times a week. I don't play enough to really get reliable data, but based on my total history, I should probably balance out somewhere between 2400 and 2600. I don't claim to be pro, but placements this season sure seemed to be a little borked for some of us.
Yeah, I dipped into Silver due to a terrible run of luck that caused a bad losing streak, but I only dipped down to about 1960 before I climbed back over 2200 before end-of-season, last season.
This season, I placed at 1850 or something. No big deal, I guess, since I've pushed my way back into Gold already, but still irksome.
Proof of how the system works, other than Blizzard saying how the system works?
C'mon man.

Seems like a good amount of work trying to place players into the rank they belong. So now I'm wondering why they render it all moot by placing you in matches you only have a 20% chance of winning. One sided stomp games are bad enough, it would be worse knowing the Blizzard is making them intentionally.
Seems like a big large issue where the match making decides that ANY match is better than letting player wait longer in the queue, so it pairs teams against people vastly above or below their skill level. We've seen this exploited recently where some team ranked in the 4000s queue up in the late hours of the night and get consistently matched up against 2000 rated players. Honestly, I would take a longer wait times over unbalanced games any day of the week.
I think Thursday should be a boycott comp night!

Because if queues were 10-15 minutes people would probably stop playing. So they try to speed up queues by giving you a handicap/bonus. You always have the chance to play god like or gutter ball for a match as well. The matchmaker can't predict how consistent you will be.

On the one hand it's queue times, on the other it gives you a chance to prove yourself against a much better set of opponents - if you actually go on to win those, you gain a shit ton of SR.

Thursdays are usually okay in EU, it's Wednesdays and Saturdays you need to avoid here; Thursdays are usually Shadowrun nights for me though, so miss a few. D6s were on fire last night. Sundays can be hit and miss.
So getting 30 kills with junkrat the other day was fun
