Totally agree with this. You will get stuck at plat/diamond because you need people with comms and coordination.
Ranked will be gone at some point or will be changed to be more like Wildcard. Wildcard is the future. The game mode is so much more fun and I won't be surprised at all when you see ranked taking on more and more of what Wildcard has.
I don't think ranked will disappear; it has a pretty hard core base and lots of people are on it so it will be around for awhile. It's just a poor experience for the solo player.
I do like the fact they experiment with new modes. Wildcard has been entertaining. The only thing I didn't like about that was the stupid sword/bat (Buster sword all over again, god no). Outside of that it's just chaos which is kind of fun. The hoverboards are a neat add on too.
