"And how are they going to prevent that better players will start new accounts to go into noob lobbies to slay out?"
They will not, but it will at least reduce the stomping. Since the veteran play will skyrocket through the ranks.
And while i don't think a ladder clearly splitting players in various ranks is bad. Stopping streamers that play 12 hours a day being matched against noobs lvl 1, like happened in that pathetic "rivals" event, would be a great start.
I would consider myself above average, but i have friends that are just starting to play on PC and seeing them get stomped by players with rank 60 with over 1k of kills isn't fun. They complain and they have the right to complain. Because at this point they aren't even playing the game, they are just moving targets so other people look good.
That story of "how they will learn then?" is said by people that either don't know * about the game and want easy kills or people that doesn't understand skill progression.
You learn something from people that are slightly above you. Not from people are so high that you don't even understand what they are doing or talking about.
In a more real world situation; saying they will learn something from getting stomped by these players is the same as giving a trigonometric exercise to a kid that just learned addition and expect the kid to learn something from it. That's not going to happen.

I don't want ranked. Ranked playlists ALWAYS bring a higher level of toxicity to gaming communities.
@ThatFawkzi then don't play ranked?

That boils down to how respawn handles ranked.
I just fir sure want to say again I do not want ranked play. At the very least, make it some other game mode option.
This is a team game. Sometimes I’ll get rolled by a great player or team, sometimes I end up on a team with great players and ride it. No matter who you are, if you are at least tying and making pings/callouts, you are worth your weight.
Honestly its it’s the best way to learn. Don’t feed endless streamers, play the game and learn.
I get people don’t like being thrashed every once in a while, but if you are trying your best and learn, getting a thick hide, and going in hard as you can is the best way to do it.
@KelRiever Ranked would be a secondary game mode altogether. It should also reward players with say crafting metals for the top (ie: top 5) squads. Exactly like in mobas where you have "Regular" queue and "ranked" queue. The game has such an enormous playerbase (multiple millions active players) that separating the playerbase in different game modes would never actually hurt the queue times. Nor would a matchmaking based off of skill/accuracy/win%/etc. .
I'm 41, have an adult job and just don't have anywhere near the reflexes I used to have when I was a young gamer. I totally get the argument that not everyone would want to be lumped into a rusty old player server but giving people like me the choice is the right way to keep a section of your player base. I hit level 13 today and have 5 kills to my name. Love the game but you can only take so many kicks to the face before you roll over and die.
