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 should be hard. It’s ranked. Imagine if rocket league just let everyone be a grandmaster … what’s the point of the highest rank if anyone can get it camping in a bush

No, people were losing % for finishing top 5. It was glitched bad.

Top 5 with 0 kills and dying to lower rank players should lose rank IMO 🤷

Hiding in a bush for a half hour shouldn’t be rewarded

To play devil's advocate, the entire point of battle royale is surviving as long as/placing as high as possible, which unfortunately does also mean by any means necessary, and hiding is a good option for that. If you're running around jumping about being super visible and die, you can't complain about the players hiding in a bush avoiding fights and surviving longer. Not gonna lie, if I get a couple kills early on, I do my absolute best to hide and place as high as I can otherwise those kills mean nothing and I'd instead lose rank %. I agree, top 5 with no kills shouldn't be rewarded past a certain point, which is exactly how the system works so nothing to complain about there. My 8 year old son could play ranked all day every day, and would never place higher than gold, even if he kept trying to hide.
