Hello great game you have there dog bless.
With that being said, level 5 is a way too low level requirement to play ranked. I’m going to go through a few things that one should have the basic understanding of in order to play comp half-properly:
- How the spawn times work and not taking full spawns every other death
- Map knowledge
- Team composition (having the sense to take more medics/objective specialists when required and not just 3-4 skyhammers or vasilis)
- Decent loadout cards (the effects aren’t massive, I know, but stuff like Get Up or Lock-On can really decide the fight at times
- Having enough mercs: at the very least one objective specialist, a medic and a DPS apart from Sky and Aura
List goes probably on, but that’s enough points already. Are those points attainable at level 5? No, not really. Considering DB isn’t as straightforward as CS or CoD, you really need to put in some time to learn the basics of the game. In it’s current form, competitive is a joke, along with it’s rank system. It’s pure lottery whether you get decent teammates or not especially due to huge skill gaps.
Suggestion: increase the level gap to something like 10, 15 or maybe even 20. I’m not 15 or 20 myself, but I’d rather suck it up and do my time playing the game until reaching the said level than jump in, knowing that at the very least the teammates have is some experience of the game. As opposed to confused level 5s saying the very first thing when the map loads “gee, I haven’t played this map yet”, which may have a demoralizing effect on some folks.
Dog bless
