We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I think I played nothing but Rammus the last time Ascension was around. Speeding around, locking people down for the rest of your team, pretty drat sweet.

More of an arena-combat team deathmatch moba.

EDIT:

Had a tribal theme to it. One of the characters was basically samus.

Bloodline Champions - thats it!

That game was pretty loving fun too. Murdered by FunCom.

There was so much salt in post game. We were down 30 (160 to 190) and clinched it with two aces and some good capping. Ascension is my favorite game mode.

FYI the developers are basically remaking the game in its un-bastardized state, calling it Battlerite. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

No. You start at a baseline value - probably mid silver-ish - and go up or down rapidly in placements. Carry over from previous seasons is what will change where you are seeded in initial placements.

This. Your placements will vary wildly depending on if you win or lose. For example I hadn't played since S4 when I did my placements for this season so I had no carry over.

IIRC I went from a game with all Silvers bar myself and another placements player that I lost; to all Bronze then back up to a mix of Silver/Golds and then bounced around.

The carryover is brutal btw, when the oce swap happened I went from silver 3 to bronze 3, got really demotivated, and now 10-0 placements puts me in silver 5

HA I got Silver 3 off 4-6 with half those being duo'd with a Silver 5. Good to see the system is broken.

It's probably OCE specific. In NA I was plat 5 at season end, and placed gold 5 after going like 4-6 in placements for the next season. Probably just not enough data for the OCE process (yet).

I think I went 6-4 in placements and got silver 4 on OCE.

I haven't really played ranked since season 1/2 outside of a dozen team ranked games last season.

E: Disappointed it's not taller, its probably going to get buried by sand. Probably won't get as many fish as the wrecks down near where the ferry comes in, because it's like 1/10th the size of a single boat and theres like 5 boats next to eachother down south.
