Polling GC players on your starting position in VT

JESUSCHRIST

It's RNG starting position in VT and I'm guessing it's 50% to 50% distribution so let's find out

I was in Uru 2 last season

I'm guessing last season's position has no link to the starting position this season

Btw, every match I played today (4 V2, 1 GC), my opponents barely had any R3s, much less any R4s.
I can't spend all day playing BG, but I bet some people are going to stack up points in GC like it's Xmas.

Yeah, it seems like it's random. I'm already in gc now, so I can chill for a week. Rip to the people who started in Diamond 4

It was the same for me. I was facing a lot 6*r4's and 7*r1's. Easiest push to gc lol

If the remedy is “well, sorry, but sometimes this stuff happens” I will just take the season off.

I don't think it's funny honestly.
I can literally put up like 300 points today if I just played BG.
How is that fair for the players?

But the compensation will be given to all players? Also who has started this season in v2?

Yes, who did a single BG match last month.
The players who did a match in first 20 minutes.

There are monster whale accounts in gc. Nobody is pushing that high in a single day. As for the seeding, apparently anyone who played bgs withing 20 minutes of launch was placed in V2.

They are sending out compensation. Trophy tokens being the highlight. 50k if you made gc last season. Also, the week 1 radiance objective will be extended to 2 weeks.

I'm not blaming or judging you.
But I'm facing accounts in GC who have no business being in GC on the first day of the season.
Those are free points.

I didn’t play and was placed in V2 as well. Strange but I’ll take it

Any comments on this @KabamPinwheel ?

It’s very frustrating to have a competitive mode experience this kind of distortion first day of the season. And then for the remedy to be (mostly) things many players already have a lot of (and in some respects can’t access readily because of artificial caps).

Ya unfortunately as the update said there is nothing we can do about this without additional knock-on risks, other than make sure it doesn't happen again. If it makes anybody feel better (I know it probably won't) I'm one of the players that got bumped down to D4.
