Do you even know what placement matches are?

Placement matches are the games you must play in order to get a rank.

For example, if I want to enter the Ostheer ladder I need to play ten games as Ostheer in order to get a proper rank. In these placement games I will be matched against everyone possible so that by the end of placement matches, which is always after ten matches, I will have a rank determined by who I could and couldn't beat.

After this you will get matched against people of roughly equal rank. Just remember, rank is not a bad indicator of skill, but stars and prestige and level are absolutely terrible.

This is what I'm talking about. Why couldn't you just say "The first ten matches are placement matches..." and explain it?

He clearly can't possibly know what placement matches are. That information does not come in any manual. It's his first post and you're already attacking him.


Your claim that you want to find out if he wants to rant is false. The fact that he is new should tell you that that is clearly not the case.




Zuuh17, welcome to CoH2. Swiftsabre's answer is pretty complete. There is also the fact that due to the small playerbase, the automatch system will sometimes put you with a higher-level player if there are no other options.

It really sucks but there is a silver lining. After you get absolutely destroyed, watch the replay, see what he did and use it as a learning experience. Post a replay or two on the forum asking for advice, there's a lot of people on here who will help, not everybody will respond with sarcasm.

I appreciate the camaraderie defending a new forum user.

But exactly what the dudes said ^ It takes a few matches to verse players at your skill level. The game must first figure out how good you are. This takes 10 matches per playlist & faction.

So OKW 1v1s: 10 matches to get ranked
OKW 3v3s: 10 matches to get ranked
USF 2v2s: 10 matches to get ranked
UKF 4v4 Arranged: 10 matches to get ranked

If you're tired of losing and want to win a bit or practice a bit: play in the custom games lobbies, play versus the AI, and play with a group of friends and you will have a higher chance of learning and winning. Then work your way up
