Why "Rank Demotion" Shouldn't Really Exist

@Midnight9746Yep, we mentioned this here many months ago that Preds, Masters and Diamonds should NEVER demote to Bronze 4. Who here disagree with this?

Players that DO NOT play demote every 6 weeks or 8 times a year for 6 tiers, wth does this make any sense? This has been going on from day 1 of rank I believe and it is the most stupid rank rule EVER and we keep asking for them to change that and they do the worst thing they can; nothing.


But still Respawn did nothing about it. Been asking myself if they care the least about our play experience and been playing other games in 2022 more than this one.

You would think if they cared just a little they would try and do something so we don't get stomped by higher skilled players in rank, but no they still approve Itztimmy doing a Bronze 4 to Master challenge with a rank smurf winning 90% of games and disrespecting ALL players.

    @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.
