Ranked is a waste of time.

Sorry if I sound like a broken record at this point... but ranked MP is basically a waste of time at this point. To set the scene... I'm about 100 points behind promotion before this race at Monza...

Going to lock this now as it is just spam and arguing with nothing constructive about it.

If posting on AHQ please do so in a polite and constructive manner.

I don't understand why people waste their time with ranked in racing games, just stick to an organised league outside of the game with people you can trust.
You're just asking for frustration, you can't expect strangers to care about your experience or feelings and you can apply that to anything in life sadly.

@matty0blobber Problem with leagues is as I said before. Everyone available at a specific time. I never know what I’m doing from one hour to the next 🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree with all the racing problems above. I drive with no assists, being ranked against players who have all assists is just plain dumb. There is no way to rank or compare in F1 23 since there is no weekly event that takes into account what assists are being used. I have no incentive to race online at all now. A racing game that has no fair competition. I will do Time Trials and race AI, compete against myself, I might as well just play golf.

  @AllanWeigand A good driver with a wheel and without assists would beat a driver with assists as the assists make you slower. I think people overestimate the actual impact of assists here. I think they should be seen as an accessibility feature and nothing else.

    @dotazured Again, I think this comes down to playtime. I can do well around tracks I know despite only turning off the assist for 23 because I have a good idea of which gear to be in and how much traction I'll get in to, through and out of each corner. But the tracks I don't race often, people with assists (including the OP ABS) have an advantage.
    
    The racing line is also the biggest assist of them all and is rarely mentioned. I think there should be an icon for it on TT leaderboards and if people want restrictions on assists in higher ranked lobbies (either skill-level or, preferably, licence), the racing line needs to go too.
