I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
The major problem with ranked is ranked.
Instead of letting the community handle it SD is trying to build it into the game. That is something completely unnecessary. We don’t need it in any other FPS. Once private servers are available, then ranked matches will be handled by the community itself. Leagues and ladders will form, rules will emerge that will self-regulate and self-balance. I do not understand this need to formalize a ranked system in game. Wasted energy, and worse, wasted time that could be put to much better use.The only time in-game “ranked” works is in 1v1 situations, which this game is not.
