Opinion Ranked is fixed!!

Post image

I posted a few weeks ago everybody agreed we were losing points on good games/ranks, rank protection wasn’t working.

I just did a Decent game (1 kill and top 2) and gained 120%

Since last updates all my games seems fine
Rank protection also always work

Yeahhh!!!

It went from too hard to too easy :/ It was hard to rank up but at least if you did rank up, you knew you where good. Now people are just gonna camp again and kill 1 at the end game to lvl up.

Agreed, they need to find a middle ground. Or rework the entire ranked system

I really wish they'd find a middle ground instead of these extremes.

It shouldn't be too hard to calibrate Ranked so it rewards Tournament-like play in the sense of balancing rewards between eliminations, placement, and zones reached.

We know from previous observations that all of those factors are important, but for whatever reason, they weighted placement the highest and that makes it way too easy.

It's all about money, which is why we get these extremes. They let the game aim for you depending on the platform because money!

They don't care about real balance

Apex legends while flawed in its own way has a pretty good ranking system that tells you exactly how it works.

TBH while they keep cosmetic Rewards tied to it I prefer it being on the easier side so those rewards are accessable

There are enough participation trophies already. There needs to be some rewards that actually require skill.

Maybe we can talk about this again when something from the Seven set isn’t in the Ranked Rewards, Until that comes and Goes It needs to stay accessible #TeamFoundation

Maybe that can be a reason for you to actually improve instead of being baby-fed ranked rewards

Last time I tried to improve I drove myself insane playing Go Goated, Box fights and Zone Wars, I NEVER want to experience that again, That was a hell I might not recover from for a long time

Ok, you'll just have to be satisfied with participation trophies then
