What's the point of ranked if you can get lobbies with other ranks?

There's a huge skill difference from each rank, even between ranks (D1 vs D4, P1 vs P4), lobbies should not be mixed ranks.

Masters/preds should be in their own lobby.

Diamonds in their own lobbjes.

Plats in their own lobbies https://getappvalley.com/ https://vlc.onl

Bronze, silver, and gold should be separated in their own lobbies as well. Real Bronze players can not compete with gold players

If ppl complain about queue times, just leave a note, "You're literally too good at the game, we can not find enough players for a balanced match and you will have to wait."

There's nothing to learn stomping a lobby of golds when you're plat. Equally as useless is a diamond getting stomped by a master/pred.

This also solves the W-key meta, sure you can get a high kill win and gain hundreds of points.. but now you have to actually do it against people of your skill level.

  • @y1ang121 It's cause they're worried that high rank would end up waiting 30 mins just to get into a game so they allow people to play against lower rank. One thing I hate about this system is that RP increases as you climb and it doesn't matter if a high rank killed you and what rank your teammates are, you're still going to lose the same amount of points as if you got killed by a player that's in the same rank as you. I hope someday they'll just ditch this horrible system and just make everyone lose/gain RP equally in all ranks so even if you get paired with lower rank teammates it's not as painful.
  • @y1ang121 If they were to distribute ranks better, long que times could be avoided. I'm not sure what Respawn is trying to do but it's not working rn.
  • @y1ang121 Season 12 and before it was like this. Then they changed ranked and it hasn't worked. I just cannot understand why they won't revert it.
  • @y1ang121 Perhaps if they would at least split the ranks halfway, I.e. only match Plat IVs with other Plat IVs and IIIs, and match Plat I with Plat 1 and 2 etc, far from an ideal solution but it would at least stop the dreaded IV mixing with 1 problem
  • @hayhorI'm actually nervous what they'll do about next season's rank system.

    edit: I'm more nervous if they didn't change anything. LOL.

    @Cheese9Man It's bad. I think people get overly dramatic with a lot of things but ranked isn't good for anyone, including streamers right now.
