They fixed the bug and removed the ranked button :slight_smile:

Wait so no more ranked until they fix it next patch again?

Stopwatch doesn’t equal ranked. Ranked happens to be stopwatch only.

They never stated ranked had returned. They stated they fixed an issue with stopwatch.

Not sure when it will be back. Maybe @RazielWarmonic has more?

(GeekyNerd_FTW) #6

Can someone explain this? In the new update it says"fixed an issue where stopwatch would draw incorrect results". So why is ranked not up!! Not only that, but it doesent say its down for maitnence anymore, it’s not even an option.

Nothing I can share at the moment. :fearful: Sorry!

And this is why the comp scene is completely barren.

Barely any insentive to play in the first place and then you get stuff like this, you market the game as a competitive one yet no one plays ranked and the few that do, can’t because it goes under maintenance for an unannounced period of time for an undisclosed reason.

I am disappointed.

Not to mention that some people who play ranked have bugged accounts which makes ranked servers crash after a match ends which doesn’t reward any progress for (de)ranking.

Pugs are all the “comp” scene is right now. Most of the comp players play together on discord.

because of this exact bug they took ranked down, there’s no reason to keep it down anymore . [/quote]

They took down private matches which as far as I know use the same servers as ranked, so maybe that’s why it hasn’t returned?

Yeah, it’s pretty boring ATM. I just log on, do my missions, then log off, no incentive to play more. In a multiplayer shooter, a competitive/ranked mode is (in my opinion) one of the most important things there is.

(Nibbles02) #13

The point of competitive was to rank you and put you with people closer to your rank so you play around the same skill level. If you play the game for an arbitrary rank that does nothing, then you probably shouldn’t even play the game, considering that you’re not enjoying the game.

Minimum level servers do the exact same thing, the only difference being you can’t quickjoin them and they’re not very numerous.

“Minimum level servers do the exact same thing, the only difference being you can’t quickjoin them and they’re not very numerous.”

Lol? Minimum lvl servers are the exact same as non level restricted servers, more than half of the server will still be shit at the game.

“If you play the game for an arbitrary rank that does nothing”

And how exactly does a rank do nothing?

It does nothing because the rank doesn’t give you anything. It’s a skill rank system whereby it is only ever applied in the competitive matchmaking. The one and only thing you’d ever get out of it is a trinket, which hasn’t been given out for several months.

Minimum level servers insure that everyone is at least experienced enough to play and understand the game and are mostly populated by level 20s and 30s, sometimes higher, around level 60 and 70, as this is where most experienced players go.

If you’d ever played on a minimum level server, you’d know that everyone who plays on them are intermediately or highly skilled and roll out 30/15 K/Ds regularly on 15-minute objective matches. The only advantage that ranked has over these is that ranked tries to match you with people on a certain skill level instead of just everyone over level 10 or 20. In addition to this, ranked almost never matches players with their skill rank, but instead has to search on every skill level(level 7+) for extensive periods of time to find a match because the ranked area is so sparsely populated.

You’ve obviously never stepped a foot into a ranked match.
5v5 with FF and everybody with their tryhard pants on is a vastly different experience than some shitty min10/20 servers. You also get mostly balanced matches in the evenings and most of the imbalance is caused by shitty teamplay / team composition rather than individual skill.

“If you’d ever played on a minimum level server, you’d know that everyone who plays on them are intermediately or highly skilled and roll out 30/15 K/Ds regularly on 15-minute objective matches.”

And you’re telling me that I should play on min 10 servers? You’re view of 10+ players is completely wrong, half of the players on those servers will even complain about a lvl 50+ joining, will suicide into objectives with proxy and will have no fragging power at all.

I’ve played ranked a ton, and would’ve played more if I could actually get into a single 40-minute match without waiting 2 1/2 hours. Again, when you join a min level 10 or 20 server, you do not mostly see level 10s there, you see 20s and 30s, and a few high levels. You also can’t say that my view of level 20s and 30s is wrong because I play with them on a daily basis, I know level 60s and 70s that won’t do great and I know level 20s who will do amazingly.

As a general rule of thumb, level 20s do NOT act like level 2s and 3s. If anything, [i]your[/i] view of level 10s+ is messed up, because level 20 and 30 is intermediate and indicates a great deal of playtime, something around 200-300 hours. I also never once suggested that you play on min level 10 servers, I said that minimum level servers as a whole function exactly like ranked.

If you’re going to bring up the argument that people in min level servers can suck, then I should mention that ranked almost always takes every skill rank into the search because it’s got such a small playerbase. In addition to this, the minimum level for ranked is 7, not 10 or 20, so in fact, you would find even less skilled players on ranked than on min level servers entirely.

This is the average skill lvl on min 10 servers, the entire enemy team couldn’t even manage to kill people even though they had an aimbotter in their team and I was just testing shotgun proxy (except for ostmustis he just self killed the entire time), almost every min 10 server I join goes like this (with the exception of aimbotters), 2-3 people drop frags and the rest of the team has no clue as to how the game actually works.

Not to mention that min 10 servers are a minimum of 6v6 and lack ff which for most people makes it a pure spam fest.

(Nibbles02) #20

So you’re referring to the level 122, the level 27, the level 20, the 86, the 13, the 11s, the 14, and the 12? These are all intermediate and high levels and I’ve seen far worse on ranked than I have on min level servers, ex. being a few games I had where there were 3-4 level 8s and 9s across each team, and when that’s about half the lobby, that’s incomparably worse.

In addition to that, like I said, there will be low levels who will exceed high levels, which your screenshot proves, in addition to proving the intermediate/high experience and skill level I mentioned before. Plus you’re comparing the K/Ds of 2 specialist mercs and a medic to 4 fire supports, 1 medic, and a single specialist. This screenshot shows higher skill levels and experience than I’ve seen in my entire playtime in competitive servers, simply proving my point.
