Not sure I seen anything about this in the forums… Even tried googling it…,
I would like to know whats the possiblities of seeing new or more Ranked Playlist to bring in more players to search Ranked Games. Example: Grifball or maybe some other game type like BTB which use to be a ranked playlist long few years back when the game came out
I’m going to assume that it’s most likely not happening. People were clamoring for more social playlists for quite a while. 343 also seems to be trying to minimize overlap between social and ranked playlists to avoid spreading the population too thin, so ranked Grifball isn’t likely to be a thing and ranked BTB probably isn’t going to come back, especially after it had population and matchmaking issues shortly after being added to H5.
If grifball I’ll cry because that’s just absurd but funny. BTB was ranked first season it came out but not anymore. I kinda prefer it only social though. Makes it more social for me i guess hard to explain
Btb is far better as a social playlist. The balance between ranked and social imo only lacks a team skirmish like playlist . Just something you can go in and shoot your pistol, chill and not worry or work too hard. I know there’s team arena slayer and hcs. But none of them have the appeal to me as team skirmish, triple team or extermination. I either get rubbish servers , blank shots etc or come up against full teams of proper try hards. I can’t be bothered with that , after just a few games it feels exhausting , I just want to relax and have fun .
Well btb is a casual game
Grifball was the least populated playlist a couple weeks ago according to Menke and I’m guessing that hasn’t changed. Having it ranked would most likely make finding a game in it even harder.
I will say that it could help with the skill matching though. I ran into a couple people a few weeks ago that had a 230 thousand K/D and over 400 thousand kills in Grifball. Obviously, they aren’t playing people close to their skill and are likely just spawn killing them.

You’d think 343 would catch this kind of abuse and ban them from that mode.

Well, I mean, if you believe killing people lots of times in a game, where killing people lots of times is key to victory, is a bannable offense, then sure. Getting spawn killed over and over sucks, but that’s one of the reasons why the option to quit exists.

There’s a difference between being good and earning kills.
Vs standing in one place and hitting one button over and over.
And the sad part they do this on purpose, and never plant the bomb… theyre just boosting kills…
With the recent changes to how social playlists match, I already have a hard time finding matches in grifball.
It’s practically impossible to find games unless I’m solo.
And you generally get put into sweaty lobbies.
It seems to have eased back a bit (solo I now sometimes get put with 3 low skills against 1 tryhard and 3 low skills), but it’s still pretty bad.
Ranked would be horrible.
