Ratting in Ranked Season 26
Devs... Some in the community are planning to rat next season. Don't let the troll's win or you will be back at square one. Let the work keep working. Don't be discouraged. With the introduction of the Random POI Draft and Stay With Team features I think players will find it harder to rat, but they are going to try. Here are some suggestions to prevent ratting:
Allow the recon class to scan the same survey beacon after each zone closure.
Last time I checked a recon player/team can only scan a survey beacon once. I'm not sure if this is still the case.
Add a teammate proximity warning and penalty.
If a player is too far from their team or if teammates are too far from each other they could see a warning. If the behavior continues then a point penalty can be implemented after the match, or something similar. By "too far" I mean the team has gone outside the normal radius of team play. For example, I'm in one POI and my teammate(s) is in another POI, or further.
I look forward to grinding Ranked next season, especially once the "stay with team" feature is added in Split 2. I've gotten old, but I'm going to try to keep up. Team fighting is so important in Ranked, so it will be nice to know my team has my back for a change, vice versa. I still don't understand why anyone would want to play a team-based Ranked mode by themself.
Make the rats squeal!!!! Give them no cheese!!!!
