So from what I’ve gathered the current ranking system consists of bronze-diamond (I-VI) and Onyx. Once you hit onyx you get a number which goes up based on how many games you win and that’s it… Not sure if there’s anything after onyx but given the fact I got placed at diamond there’s definitely no incentive to grind ranked…would be cool if they brought back champion for the top players and make it similar to h5 where you had to continue playing and winning to hold your rank. Hopefully there are plans to expand on the current system, what’s everyone’s thoughts?
Yeah I hit Diamond 1 after Placement Games and I guess it will lock me at a certain level after a while… but I’ll be going for Onyx. My biggest issue is actually the aesthetic…I know that doesn’t mean much but I think they look really bland kind of like the medals did before they updated them. I think the designs are really boring and uninspiring.

No I agree, ranks look pretty basic in my opinion. Also, onyx is apparently the highest and seems way to easy to hit and there’s no reason to keep playing since there’s no champion rank.
Some sort of champ status would be good - but I think it needs to be done by region to have any chance of accuracy (otherwise the system is just guessing over time-zones).

The only real incentive to hitting Onyx is a weapon emblem of the Onyx rank, and a Recon helmet weapon charm.
That’s about it lol

Yeah exactly, Not much worth grinding for lol
The incentive / reward is surely the rank itself.
The grind (for those good enough) is your MMR. Get that number as high as you can.
The reward is taking on similarly skilled players for the contest.
I’m not sure what else you would want.
