It is really not true that if people pay that ranked will somehow be better.

If anything, people will feel more entitled to do what they are already doing badly in ranked games. And respaen will be more encouraged to let them with a money stream. I think Overwatch pretty much proved that point, even if it wasn’t a subscription

Forgot to mention their ridiculous 20 tick servers! To be constructive though, why not just charge ranked entry fee with legend tokens? Problem solved!

Because screw your quality experience, it's all about the money.

@apostolateofDOOM If ranked was given dedicated servers of better quality than the pub servers I'd be game.
However let's be honest....that wouldn't happen lol. I aint paying for slow queue times just to grind out a badge and maybe a trail lol. Especially when they would have to make ranked expensive enough to actually ward off smurfs/cheaters.

  @MandatoryIDtagIf they did make better dedicated servers exclusive to those that pay it would be a massive middle finger to everyone that supported the game up till now and go against all their excuses so far on why they can't improve things so i agree, it won't happen, and i also agree it's not worth paying for anyway.
  
  Legend tokens and (as has been already suggested countless times) raising the entry level for ranked to 100 would be perfectly reasonable with no downsides from what i can see.

    @apostolateofDOOM Yeah it would be a middle finger to the rest of the playerbase I agree. However if you're trying to sell an entire game mode on a free BR you need some sort of carrot to bait players in with lol....and "fair matches" is not a sufficient bit of bait lol.
    If this comes to pass it will likely be the death of ranked play lol.
