Played 7 games. 4W/3L
Only one time we made a complete pubstomp, most of the time I’m playing with/against high golds/cobalts/elites which is great!
I really like ranked now but there are some issues that I will post on Bug Section(Like server crash at the end).
As a US player playing in EU its nearly impossible! 140 - 180 ping with warping and delayed hit markers on both ends…
I will never play in a EU Ranked Server again its total BS.
Plus people are still grabbing 5 man stacks 80% of the time by queing at the same time and limiting maps…
Map selection needs to be taken out!!! Immdieitly!! Underground is almost worst then Dome and Dome is blanked out… Map problems really shine though in Ranked MM. Kill and Spam to win…
Is there no way to limit the rank matches to only US?
Playing from Scotland, I wouldn’t consider ranked play in the US (I dont even play on the US pubs).
Agree about the map selection - if there were more maps you could do a CS style map rotation. But yeah felt like every other game was on Underground.
Nonetheless ranked MM is a lot better than it was previously.
Ranked matchmaking shouldn’t just be for higher skilled players. To me Ranked not = competitive in the sense that competitive is higher skill, it’s competitive in the sense that you would be playing with players closer to your own skill, even if you suck. That’s the point right?
So it should be for everyone, the more crappy players like me the better chance they won’t be in your game because they will be in mine and I’ll have a chance.
I’d like to see some encouragement/advertisement (like on the limbo screen) for players of all skill levels to join ranked, and maybe start adjusting their level right off instead of waiting for ten games so they don’t leave right away after they get stomped the first few matches. Something like “want to play with players closer to your skill level, try playing ranked!”
Am I alone in this?

That’s exactly how i see it. If you want to buddy up and play in a clan then fair enough, there’s plenty of ways to do that already. This is still a pub mode, just one that should have players playing near each others level in a ‘competitive’ environment, eg. 5v5, friendly fire on etc.
I keep hearing that it’s now just pub - of course it is, that’s a statement of fact. Private being the organising of a match with predetermined players. Ranked (even with 5 premades) was still pub, just that half of the participants had the distinct advantage over the other random pubbers. Cannot for the life of me see how anyone can argue this was good. By all means lobby SD for server rental and/or a seperate clan/ranked team ladder mode, but dont mistake that with this core element.
Despite all the naysayers and the undoubted problems that it still has to resolve, MM is far better now. Personally I’ve not played any other mode since the patch - which is about the best recommendation I can give.
Anyway, one thing I’d like to see is the Rank shown at the end of the match - happy that the levels dont show anymore as that was nonsense. Other thing that would be nice is a global and a friends leaderboard so you can compare ranked stats.

Finally SD and Nexon are coming to their senses. I haven’t played for a while, but this is a hope-giving news that might persuade me to take a look at DB more than goold old ET once again.
They are thinking about it. That doesnt mean its granted. I wouldnt bet on it, we never had a clear statement regarding rentable/adminable servers since Nexon joined the party.
I obviously didn’t take it for granted, but the first post said they’re working towards it, not thinking about it, which is a huge difference if my understanding of English is correct.
thank you :

starting the match at 4 vs 5…
you definitly killed the ranked mode, enough for me.

it definitely is annoying if one player drops in warmup and game starts regardless.
We need PAUSE! and cancel match vote!
You can call a vote for pause @Szakalot. In my opinion match should be canceled if someone leave before it starts.
pause should not be a vote. its very simple: anyone can trigger pause - anyone from the same team can unpause (5sec countdown)
doesnt have to rely on clueless team for f1, doesnt allow trolls to pause-abuse, quick n painless
with sth like max 60-90sec per pause, no more than 2 pauses per team per game
I am really liking this. So far every game I have had has been good. Have not had any issues with griefers and am really liking being able to play with FF on. Longest I have had to wait for a match is 10-12 minutes, but usually after the first match of the night they are faster, probably because more people in my skill range free up when my game ends (evident by the fact I see a lot of them in the next match), hopefully the word spreads and the wait times will get better, but I’d much rather wait and get the good games I have been getting than to play regular stopwatch with the wider range of skills.
I can’t see myself ever going back to objective or regular stopwatch again so long as there are players playing in ranked.
From my perspective this is by far the single best thing that has been done since I have been playing to improve the game.
Thank you!
Some ppl doesn’t have a call vote for pause. Maybe it is because they’ve set an ini file as read only?
You can also go to the menu by pressing esc and there you have a call vote menu.
What do you mean by cancel? surrender?
You can find it also in a vote menu
