Rank 1 requirements

[Murro_the_One]

What is average rank1 requirement statistically?

 

I thought that to get to rank 1 you would need to be something like 60+% in winrate and be pretty decent player (not like what i currently am in game)

 

just had a battle where i played with DD and i had suspicion about his performance and in the end i noticed that he was rank1 player

immediately i though that how wrong i was to judge him for a noob and i went to check how he performs regularly and guess what, he is below 50% global winrate guy

no shame in that but then i guess skill is not only requirement to get to that rank, this guy has over 500 games in ranked in last 30 days though...

You need two things to reach Rank 1 imho besides a mediocre skill level:

- Lots of time

- high frustration tolerance

 

You got those two? Grats.

didnt know that you can just grind your way trough

i see it as big flaw though

Several things worth checking;

 

-what's his win rate in in ranked. Some people scrape through to rank 1 by pressing battle repeatedly and having just over 50%

 

Regarding his global performance, what's the recent performance like? There are players who played a lot of games without having a clue (and got bad stats) who then wised up.

Rank 1 sadly isn't just about Winrate, it also factors in time and frustlevel.

The better the winrate, the less time you need to invest and depending on your luck the less stress you need to endure.

But with bad WR you just have to spam Battle and the law of the great Numbers and some occasional top on xp will get you to rank 1 eventually. Only problem is the frustlevel but as some are oblivious to their own lack of skill that is not always a problem.

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

last season there was even rank 1 with 45+%

Actually the ones oblivious of own shortcomings get the most frustrated. An average player that knows that he's average is happy about each victory and sees his mistakes when he makes them. A player (even really a bit better, mind you) thinking that he's better than he is sees every victory as obvious thing (he's so good, after all) and each defeat as being unfairly punished for other people's mistakes (never himself just not being good enough).

That's a very frustrating state of mind to be in since such a person feels wronged almost half the time...

You don't need any skill whatsoever to get to Rank 1 in this rather flawed game mode.

All you have to do is play enough games, and that is why this mode sucks ball$.

You can. Just check the stats of people reaching tier1. There are plenty of examples of non-unicum players that just spend lots of battles in ranked.

this.

 

if you have infinite annout of bouth you can do it even with 45% WR if you can make first pace often enough.

once saw a guy thad did it in the sims with 45.x%  and 600+ games.

I would say.. Just a Sims. ^^ Took me 10 Days or 190 Fights. But Mostly because i used also other Ships like Nagato/Mahan/Belfast

I played in this 10 Days for Around 4 Hours Each Session..

But iam sure there was some other folks faster then me..

Worth checking how many games he had in ranked this season.

 

Once found an Atago spent the entire game stealth firing on enemy team, allowing them to win (there were only a few tier 8s in game, mostly tier 6)

 

When asked why he was playing so passively, his response "STFU noob, look at my flag". Sure enough he had jolly roger. 

 

When I checked, he had played over 700 ranked games that season to get it......

True there is a lot of s lot of anger and hate in the below average bracket, i can attest that. Well i consider myself a decent/above average player, but still know when i made a bad descision and really f*cked up.

I know that in the longrun (over many games) it's always my fault if i fail. I also always try to not get angry over bad plays i see as everyone (like me stated above) makes those mistakes, good players only do it less.

What REALLY grinds my gears are bad players that are bad due to ignorance. Players that you warn of a mistake they are about to make or point one out in a friendly and respectful manner and only get sh*ttalkbad and they do it anyway.

Or they answer "I play for fun"

Well ranked is actually working! For the revocable ranks after Rank 12 and only for the first week + maybe some days. The problem is the more time passes the more "good" players either reach rank one or stop playing ranked because of too much salt (or missing rewards for this season). The lower the level of skill sinks, the more "bad" players get the top xp spot reliably and once that happens you only have to collect victories resulting in ranking up quiet fast.

There is a saying in my country: "Among blind people the one-eyed is king" (i hope this works in english)

People who blame themselves for losing all the time or those that blame everyone else for them losing all the time are being naive. It's never one or the other, it's both most of the time and other things. The matchmaker sets up lopsided teams in terms of skill and we have rng in the game. Somehow ranked matches are meant to make a distinction between skilled and less-skilled players, but reaching rank 1 is more about the mm, the rng and a whole lot of luck and time. Nothing more to say, we need to stop blaming ourselves as much and stop blaming everyone else as much too. Think of it as a nice smoothie made up from so many different fruits of frustration.

Sims. Sims is pretty much a R1 guarantee. It has such a high XP modifier that you basically never lose a star, so you dont really have to worry if your team noobs out on you.

Pretty much this. I just have to remember not to die and to hopefully do 30k odd damage plus a DD kill and a cap and ill be 1st. 

 

Starting to play the longer game. Which is also helping in random matches. I cant influence any more if im dead.

Pretty much this. I'd also like to include you must have the dice on your favor. RNG-us is the final decision maker.

[TakeMeRiver]

I agree with what everyone has said, you really only need time and to have average luck with mm. I managed to go from rank 17 to rank 1 in about 300 games, that's with me making some really stupid mistakes along the way and i'm really not a good player to start with. Some days mm loved me and gave me a 10+ win streaks, other days it loved putting Atlanta's on the enemy team.

 

Just hoping next season i can redeem myself

It was funny, but if you think about it, isn't true for any game?

 

 

Rank 1 sadly isn't just about Winrate, it also factors in time and frustlevel.

 

But if you treat it as just another battle mode, you don't spend more time in game then you would otherwise. Instead of x random battles a day, you just play x battles in ranked.
