I would like to leave some feedback on the current infinite ranking system.
I’m platinum 1 currently
My opinion of the current ranked system is you simply move up too slow and down way too fast.
The gold, platinum and diamond ranks are absolutely polluted with alternative accounts, which makes it excessively difficult to break out of these ranks in particular if you are the one individual playing at your highest level.
This is diminishing the quality of the games and the ability to progress through the system in a fair way. This makes me question the point of a progression system.
I had a recent match going 30-19 against platinum and golds -won the match and lost CSR? What?
I will play with my friends whom are diamonds and onyx and either lose dramatically or go even.
In this matches where I go even, I’m playing against a FULL rank or two higher than my current rank and receive little to no benefit. IMO this should boost your CSR in these situations
I say CSR should be boosted in these situations for two reasons:
#1 it makes sense, these are better players and harder matches
#2 it would eliminate the point of having an alternative account if you progressed FASTER through gold, platinum and perhaps somewhere into diamond.
Many players feel diamond 6 is nearly impossible to break out of, alternative accounts are the reason.
Personally I think GOLD, PLATINUM and DIAMOND players should progress at an accelerated rate to get players into the ranks they belong. This would minimize the amount of time players would use to to exploit the playlist.
I also feel as tho players should have the option to rank again a few times a season to increase their rank. The current system does not reward enough CSR for a win and deducts too much for a loss.
Many other great changes could be made to enhance the playlist, this is not exhaustive…this is just something that would enhance my experience on an individual level, given everything I’ve seen and having played since BETA.
Considerations should be made regarding the psychology of the players constantly playing and never moving up the ranks. if the game is not rewarding enough, players get frustrated and move on to other games. We should want people to feel good about their gameplay, to see a reward for their effort and time invested. The current system doesn’t foster a positive enough environment to keep player interested long term.
