So basically you just want to have free wins.
I'm sorry but I just cant agree with skill based matchmaking for games, mainly because in theory its all good but after having played Overwatch I know how ridiculously toxic people get and all the fun from playing casually with 59 other random people who can be either a total potato at the game or the best player in the server is lost, and I believe that the main thing on a battle royale, which is basically a gigantic arena where you don't know who you are facing until you get in a fight. There is no thrill or reason to get better if everyone is exactly at the same level, and even worse you start having to worry not to get degraded to lower levels because getting paired with random squadmates in skill based matchmaking gets frustrating VERY fast, especially on servers where people usually speak more than one language (and yes, the ping system helps a lot here but it still doesnt replace direct communication).
tl;dr I believe skill based matchmaking will make the community way more toxic, while taking away from regular players (who I believe are the core of the community) the fun of random encounters and the chaos a battle royale is supposed to be.
And btw, to the person who posted that people who are bad to the game don't get better by being matched against really good people, I really have to differ, as I feel I have greatly improved in other games playing almost exclusively against players who absolutely owned me (talking about SC2 here, playing against friends who were ranked Diamond and Masters while I was just starting playing online in Silver, soon I was able to hold a match against them). If I had not played against them I would had never made it to Diamond too, I would have probably stayed a long, LONG time in Silver or Gold having no real progress. And we are talking about a strategy game here, in which the luck factor of shooters (and by extention of BR games) is almost non existant and the outcome is purely based on skill.

You have a really nice post, even though I disagree how people learn, but you ruin all credibility with this opening statement
- 7 years agoWell this game is a battle royale, idk WHY some of yall compared it to a moba game like Overwatch , it doesn't matter if that game has heros its not a battle royale, its stupid to compare. Rank modes are good but its hard to implement this into a game like this. This is not call of duty where its small teams and yall justt run and shoot and respawn back over and over again. This is 60 ppl dropping on a map. Rank mode is coming i believe i read that somewhere but it mostly will be done in a point system of some sort,s imilar to fortnite but it may cause alot of long load times .Even fortnite that has over 200 million players have 5 minute load times once you get high in their point system. Truth be told its way more bad players than there are good players in this game by far. You're not in a lobby with 59 god players if you say you are then you just suck at shooters period. I support the need for the rank system
