@Palette24caratsWhat pros need:
Master 4 at 15k
Master 3 at 18k
Master 2 at 21k
Master 1 at 24k
What WE need: no more bronze to master challenge, no more higher skilled players in our games/rank, no more demote diamonds, masters and preds to bronze 4, 20 points per KP, less points for placement.
Simple.
But I expect them to do nothing for us anything for them.
@Palette24carats Just to let you know, they can do a rookie to pred challenge as well. Yup, that's right! The game lets you derank into the rookie ranking. A rank teir that's meant to be for new players or those who never played rank before. How much sense does that make? None... that's how much sense it makes.
@dSKyNafinchin The only problem with that is the rank rewards, since players would already be in their highest rank achieved. You'll get players who would just not play rank and accumulate rewards they didn't earn. At most derank them to the last rank, (diamond I -> plat I) , and keep them there. If they want the diamond rewards, then they have to earn it again. They also shouldn't be allowed to be deranked after that point. Either that, or require the player to rank up within the rank division, (gold IV -> gold III) to be eligible to get the rank rewards. Maybe a derank to <rank> IV and then require them to reach <rank> III for rewards would work alright. Although again, the use of smurph accounts is just going to undermind that anyways.
In what universe is this non-sense okay? EA and Respawn can no longer claim the game has "skill based matchmaking". If you can get into masters and pred, you're clearly way too good for anything lower, such as gold.
Edited:
Its clear that neither EA nor Respawn cares about the state of their game and that's honestly just sad. My teammates for the match below was a level 16 and a level 40. Yeah, that makes 100% sense, and is so "skill based matchmaking".
Hahaha, kidding, matchmaking is broken, SBMM doesn't exist, and the game is just a pred/cheater lobby 24/7. I might as well go play another game.
Both Octane and Seer are complete randoms. Why are they even allowed to be in a gold lobby with their kind of ranks? To me, if you're diamond or above in a gold or below lobby, you're smurphing. If you derank to rookie IV and have achieved diamond or above, you're also smurphing. This sort of thing should thus not be allowed. It says both were "diamond" players in season 14, why on earth were they allowed to derank down into gold?
Season 15... why is this still allowed?
@Midnight9746they derank TWICE every season with no maximum derank... imagine! So a diamond 4 split 1 season 14 if he doesnt play split 2 will start season 15 split 1 as silver 4 ; SILVER 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This makes sense! The problem in rank is US grinding too much!!! Let's add hard demotions!! And 1 point per kp.
And if he doesnt play split 1 season 15 then he will start season 15 split 2 as Bronze 4!!!
Assuming the rank icon is now "fixed", both my teammates are diamonds in a silver/gold lobby. If they were plat, that would be one thing. Since they're both much higher than this lobby, it tells me that SBMM still doesn't exist.
Furthermore, this was the enemy team that killed us, a masters Wraith and Pathfinder, and the Horizon isn't shown because they have no badges or stat trackers shown, and the "last rank" only said Rookie IV like how it does for Wraith and Pathfinder.
Respawn has killed ranked when they changed it for season 13 and they might as well remove the gamemode if they really don't want to fix the matchmaking.
@Midnight9746Your diamonds derank by 12 tiers... just like I said in my previous post they didnt play for a split and ended up Gold 4. This could be either because they didnt play or it's their rank smurf that they didnt play for 2 splits with. This rank doesnt make any sense and no matter what we say they don't even listen.
