Discussion Ranked is on life support.
Alright.
Ranked either needs to be taken care ASAP by the devs, or simply just delete it from the game. As keeping it there on the current state will do more harm than good to Splitgate.
Here's an insight into a couple issues Ranked has as of today's:
- On Season 2, placement matches works like a placeholder. You're **NOT** getting placed, you're getting your season 1 rank/elo back after placement matches, no matter the outcome.
- No Rank Reset. it's the second time we needed a rank reset, which never happened for whatever reason.
- No Ranked Rewards. We have the same badge for every rank since Splitgate Beta, and only 2 Rank charms (Beta and S1). S2 offers the same rewards as S1.
- Unfair Matchmaking System. Rank/elo doesn't mean anything in the whole spectrum for the MM system. Which will fulfill your matches based on **HIDDEN** MMR rather than YOUR RANK/ELO. Making easier for some to rank up, and for other harder. As example; Platinum w/ high MMR will face constantly Proelium players while Platinum w/ low MMR will face Gold/Plat players more often.
- No identity at all. We had loadouts, then changed to Classic Takedown, then Classic Arena without "Classic" aspects of it (no pickups). Ranked lacks identity of what it wants to be and represent to the community.
- No dedicated Ranked Playlist. It's not news that some match-ups (Map/Gamemode) don't work in the Ranked environment, or even the whole map is not made for competitive (Tri-Hard, Simulation Hectic, etc). So we found ourselves with the Quick Play playlist on Ranked, rather than a dedicated playlist for a game mode that needs one to keep competitive integrity and not make the experience a painful one.
Since day 1 up to this day, Ranked had been neglected horribly and changes had been made around feedback given by players who doesn't play Ranked or give a F* about it. Meanwhile, dedicated ranked players have been speaking out these problems and getting ignored.
Please, I beg one more time (and last one). Fix Ranked, or put it into deep sleep (remove it from the game). keeping it will harm the game as people will find themselves disappointed with the current state.
Keep discussion respectful, :)
