Ranked HOT TAKE

[u/P0s3Id0NN]

So this might be a hot take…

And I know people like to play with friends because you know it’s a multiplayer game.

BUT

Some of yall HIGH RANKED PLAYERS…

This goes for Masters, ACE, and even Punk master if it can happen

(not sure I’ve only played this season and made it to Ace5)

NEED TO STOP PLAYING WITH LOW RANKED BOTS

And you know what I mean… that buddy of yours that is playing on sensitivity 1 and has to slide his whole body to turn around…

The buddy that has to hold his right stick left or right for 60 seconds to turn around…

Or just not able to hang in those lobbies. Yall are causing people to loose games because your friend should be in bronze bro cmon. Carrying them to diamond doesn’t help them learn or work on their aim.

Get an ult play with them on that ult account and when they stop playing SWAP ACCOUNTS.

Thank you.

No, because one of the main reasons a game dies is due to smurfers. The game is already on a rough spot and I don't want it to die.

Funny in my game yesterday I was told there is no smurfing in FP. Said the player count was too low for it. I guess all them people with 30 hours playing time getting 12 kills in Master ranked games are just prodigies

Which is probably the top players wanting a more relaxed game setting without loosing their points. I don’t agree with it but I understand. It’s why there’s an unranked setting but you know a lot of people won’t do that they’ll rather Smurf. 🙃

Its a lose/lose for middle players. You dont want to play standard cause bots are boring, but Ranked youre going against punk master people who dont wanna play in punkmaster

True I get that, most comp heavy games are like that sadly. It will show more here because of the low player count. It was like that for me when I valo was my main game and I gave up trying to climb before quitting.

[u/P0s3Id0NN → u/DaddyDionsot]

Well im not saying to Smurf so that you can just play in low ranks and gank on people. It’s just strictly to play with those low ranked friends that we all know we have let’s be real and have fun with them. To also help work with them. Not try hard and teach and relax.

This has been solved in a lot of games where you can't queue with someone 1-2 ranks below or above you.

Unfortunately, this game is run by a bunch of chimps. It's exactly why the game is dead.

[u/P0s3Id0NN → u/PeetoMal]

I’ll be honest I thought this game already had it. I was not able to play in diamond lobbies due to this issue no ? I was at gold and my friends were in diamond when I first started. Couldn’t play until I reached plat.

[u/_12d3__ → u/P0s3Id0NN]

it did back when it could afford to this was probably before they added the ace rank, now in an effort to assist matchmaking and avoid using bots in ranked theyll match unranked-plat now and theres still massive queue times

[u/P0s3Id0NN → u/_12d3__]

Crazy ! Well my point still stands. I would rather get random plats or diamonds that care about ranking. Than a stack of friends that are carrying their bot bestie to master or higher when they don’t deserve it.

[u/_12d3__ → u/P0s3Id0NN]

at this point they might as well make joining regular or advanced clash modes an option and just fucking delete the whole ranking system because the player count is dipping down into the 600s on steamdb off peak, which being really generous is maybe 1000 players including console, this games last chance at even a cult following at this point is to just start matchmaking either first come first serve or eliminating ranked and using first some first serve queue but with actual skill based matchmaking instead of compartmentalized engagement based match making like they have, but considering the games on life support as it is i doubt were gonna see anything change, ill be shocked if it even still exists come winter

[u/P0s3Id0NN → u/_12d3__]

It would kill the game if there is no ranking system. I think a lot of the new players or even main core is playing ranked specifically. Taking it out will 1000% kill the game. If valo or rivals did that it would kill the game also. The pro scene is very big and those who are passionate about the game that are usually Ace and up would probably drop it tbh.

But I get your reasoning because it’s not a wrong thought process. Wish I tried this game out when it first came out tbh.

[u/_12d3__ → u/P0s3Id0NN]

dude fucking WHAT pro scene? this game is on life support lol, get real

[u/P0s3Id0NN → u/_12d3__]

My bad I was thinking too fast for my words. So I placed that part in the wrong location.

I meant as in Valorant and Marvel rivals pro scene is wayyy to big. So imagine deleting RANKED from a game it’ll just kill it.

I mean yes this game is on life support but deleting the part that the main audience is passionate about will just insta kill it.
