This game has one of the most if not the most broken ranking system.
- First of all, a rank needs to be added above onyx. (Like champion Halo 5)
- Skill divisions within each rank need to be added.
- Diamond needs to be harder to achieve in placement matches.
- MUCH stricter penalties need to be implemented for quitters & cheaters.
- If a team loses multiple players, they should get prompted with a option “would you like to forfeit this match” allowing them to save their KD and not get penalized.
I’ve had the opportunity to play this game a lot and the ranked playlist and system is laughable. I’m onyx 1600+ in corssplay but diamond 2 in solo/duo. And yet every solo/duo game is always against onyx players, I even matched against OpTic Lucid who is onyx 2400+ in solo/duo as a diamond 1. This should never happen!!!
The skill gap is way to open with all ranks as well, low onyx players shouldn’t be matching top onyx players, divisions within ranks should be implemented to help with this, while also providing a reason to grind higher levels.
I created a smurf and just had fun with friends, lost most of the placement matches and often went negative. Still got placed diamond 1 for some reason.
The penalties aren’t strict enough that players are often still quitting waiting a minute and doing it again. And if your team quits on you but you don’t want to quit but it’s slayer 1v4, you should get a prompt to forfeit the game to save your stats and not receive a penalty.
I’m really hoping changes are coming in season 2, because I fear the player base will continue to diminish with the games current broken state.
