Can someone explain to me why each season has placement matches, even though the rank continues exactly from the previous season? All the placement matches do is make you play 5 matches where you don’t see your rank. The only time where you actually play real placement matches is when you buy the game the first and play ranked for the very first time. All other placement matches for follow up season are “fake” placement matches.
So why have them in the first place?
There is no logical reason for them to exist apart for new players
There is one reason. During the placement matches winning and losing does not matter, only your performance. You can lose most of them (like 7-8 out of 10 during the previous system) and still end higher than you finished the previous season.
actually, I feel its a good thing. as some1 who has played csgo, comp is VERY stale because there are no seasons, adding seasons gives some exitement
But that doesnt explain we have to play placements every season start, when the SR is roughly the same as how the previous season ended…
I was wondering about this, I won all 5 games in my placement, got the same rank as I ended last season, literally no point in them.
