Next rank season can we change how teams are selected.

Rank is a huge misnomer because i can play against some unranked and silvers that shoot better than me. Meanwhile i get silvers and gold that shoot like they are a bronze recruit…

Can we have the ranked algorithm select teammates based on kills per minute accuracy and kill death ratio? The current system now seems to compare just rank badge and i guess points earned.

I would also argue that each teammate should have there personal performence and team performence evaluated seperately to determine how much they go up or down…

I get punished for having to many players that cant play this game properly on my team. Yesterday i have a bronze recruit who went 1/25 and tked one of my teammates in chapel who was uploading a datacore… It was a little kid with a mic who said " I need game mode XP"… FFS

Maybe i have too much imagination but i think it already takes into account your personal perf to determine how much you will win/lose.
Im actually gold agent and mostly play with my friend who was silver specialist. In a recent match, we lost vs a team that had an average rank of gold recruit. I had top score ad positive K/D while my friend was lower with negative K/D. I lost about 30% of my rank progress, while my friend lost about 80% of his rank progression.
So I highly suspect the game already takes into account personal perf.

Had a friend who actually still gained a rank when their team lost. He I think had top score in the match. So they are already taking into account your personal scores/stats/influence for your ranked progress. It would be nice to know the basics of what they are calculating and why.

Please no counting KDR as suicide engineer is a viable tactic and so is suicide revive medic who both often are negative score but actually help bring the team to victory by doing their job so well. Im guessing overall score is the most important stat because it SHOULD mean you are being impactful in some way. This is an objective game where kill literally dont win you the game but they often show who is winning. Ive had some matches where my team easily all were positive kdr which means whole other team was negative and we lose because of lack of team work and focus. We all focused on kills and doing our own thing instead of doing the objective.

Ive had a friend who is very good probably gold rank in db and I introduced them on other fps ftp game. After a few matches they were catching up with me on score and after a few more they were beating me consistently. Some people are just great players who you cant keep down.

Not overall score in its entirity because you can boost that buy throwing ammo or healing stations down. Hell even the secondary objectives like generators can be farmed.

Also suciding engineer is a pub tatic. It doesn’t belong in ranked if thats all the person is going to do. I am not talking about being negative as in slightly under 1/1. I am talking like being 0.2/1 for KD where people go 5 and 20 with possibility of more deaths and less kills.

If your team was all positive in kd and lost, then its because someone ninja through your guarded choke pt. I hate saying this but as important as obj play is. Killing and gibbing 2 enemy teammates per life is more important and wins the battle.

Maybe ranked isn’t for you yet, but then, right now, DB is DB.

I’m beginning to really like the person you’re becoming.
