2/1 so far in ranked, with the games being pretty good besides.....
The one loss was in a game where 4/5 of my teammates never changed their characters across 5 rounds (2 zayra who somehow never seemed to shield anyone)....so me and the other guy who did switch it up, carried the two games we won on nepal Sanctum.

5-5 with what I thought was half decent performance ended up 44. I know the initial score is heavily based on win percentage I'm curious what else factors in and how much weight because I generally thought I played pretty well.
Sad thing is I was doing the best in a stretch queued with just one other person (who is a really good Reinhart and also in general a good leader over voice coms). A couple of the 10 matches were 6 team queues and we were just getting stomped by much more coordinated teams.

There are supposed to be some special rewards for the highest ranked players (ie, not us). Others you can buy just by playing a lot.

Are you out of placements?
MMR seems pretty evenly matched up right now, I imagine it will be far better tomorrow/in a few days. Played quite a few solo games after placements and everyone has mostly been pretty equally as skilled. It's 100000% better than quick play solo queue that's for sure

Played placements with a friend we got trashed hard 3-7 got 3 golds on like 6 of the match's not that it means much ended up rank 39 now it's just a one sided shit stomp on all the superbads. So I guess thats fun. I guess they need to balance it more.

Golden guns were 300 points to buy and it looks like you get 1 point per win, so need to win 300 matches each weapon. Winning more = faster purchases!
If the formula is anything like LoL, the first match(es) are much more heavily weighted than the latter matches. Placements is a method to get you where you belong aggressively. So the very first placement match is worth more than the 2nd which is more than the 3rd, etc...
Since I started 0-2 I probably lost more rating than what I gained during my last few wins (matches 7/8/9/10). If you start out with a few wins but lose later, it won't be as punishing.
So 3 of us so far claimed to have a 7-3 record.
Mine: L-L-W-L-W-W-W-W-W-W : Result 48
Cinge: ?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-? : Result 54
Valorath ?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-L-L : Result 50
Another factor is I'm fairly sure they take into account your QP MMR when matching 1st placement match. LoL does same thing, and it explains why the pros end up in the 70s after placements, even when not going 10-0.

I definitely saw the gain/loss weighting at work helping my mercy friend through her matches. She ended up 56 I think, and I went up from 45 to 47. One of the matches we won I gained about a point and a half. I remember losing one where I lost about 1 point, but 3 or 4 where I appeared to lose only about a tenth of a point.
I believe they did say individual performance effects your MMR as well. So if you were the all-star on a game that lost there is a chance you may actually gain MMR in that scenario. But if you were the inept retard on a team carrying you then you probably wouldn't gain much MMR in that scenario.

Im out now, 44.
What really pissed me off was I was solo queueing and getting put into matches against 6 player teams (since you can see who is teamed)
That was annoying in qp but it's fucking retarded when I'm doing solo comp play. So my rating goes down because I get curb stomped in 2 minutes by some try hard team.
Kaplan posted about golden guns and point accumulation. He said that the rewards are more geared as rewards at the end of the season, not really to be grinded out during it. Players will earn a chunk of points at the end of the season, based on your final ranking.
