    Duel Ranking Bug

    Hi Guys,

    I think I encountered a bug in Duel Ranking. So, I recently started to play For Honor (and I love it), but basically after the 15 duels to select my league I ended up in Bronze V. Since then at every victory I get 1% or even 0 % per victory... in this way I'm stuck in the league it takes a lot to progress. My friend usually gets 25% per victory... What's going on?


    Also second bug I found is that after the patch when I go in "hero" to change the armor the image of the character is blur.

    P.S i'm playing on PS4.

    thx

    And how did you fix it?

    it's very annoying playing 10 matches and barely see a progression when you win.

    This can depend on who exactly you're defeating. Their skill rating and yours affects your gains/losses. Are you in a place where you're winning about 50% of your matches?

    0-1% is still not right, no matter if you beat a total newbie. If the matchmaking doesn't have enough players and it settles for someone way worse than OP it's a waste of time if you get almost nothing. You also steam roll someone who wont come back to Ranked as well.

    I've been saying for quite a while that ranked really needs ranked weekly orders and an end of season bag of steel for the amount of games you played. If everyone got to play it, it wouldn't be filled by the try hards everyone speak of. The matchmaking would improve and people would also improve their skills and understanding of the game, instead of zerging in Dominion.

    The fact that people 90% of the community only populates one single game mode is slowly suffocating the game. There need to be more incentives to play other game modes.

    same for me, 10 wins for 1% and 1 loss to lose everything. So frustating.
    The worst thing is that I have seen this same bug reported since 2017 and apparently they have not done anything about it ...

    It's the same in the higher ranks. The way they envisioned it is that if you can't beat players of similar rank then you don't belong there, all the while needing to constantly win to sustain it and overperform in order to advance. The punish/reward ratio is way too skewered in the former's favor, and this is why everyone hates ranked.

    Get in, farm the rewards you want, get out. That's how I do it.

    A few weeks ago it worked well for me, but at some point the reward system changed drastically.
    I have reinstalled the game, renewed licenses and even played with characters that I have at low level (kensin on tryhard mode) but everything remains the same.
    I can win someone with 22 reputation and keep winning 0%, I can win 5 to 10 games in a row to win 1% and lose one to lose 8% or more.


    I like the game and it would be great to be able to play ranked, because I do not like dominion or breach as much as duels, and the normal 1vs1 do not give any sense of advance, which is something that keeps me hooked in a game.

    Clearly the developers never played duel ranking, otherwise they would understand how frustrating it is...

    Can someone explain me how they determin my skills?

    I'm bronze V (not very skilled), so most of my matches are against other bronze V people. I don't understand why I don't get good progress, since I play with someone from my same league, in my idea it should be based on that.

    Also the reputation doesn't seem to count much. I'm level 5 and I've beaten players with 11 rep and still getting 1%...


    I mean the Idea of duel ranking is cool, it gives you the idea of progressing, but with this system is frustrating... it would be better do do a league like FIFA then lol...

    Reputation means absolutely nothing, which is good. They go by the internal player MMR.
