i think they desperately need to add more transparency back to ranked - the game is so much fun but most people dont even know how ranked works, and even if you do its so demotivating not to know how far u are to the next rank. for those of you who dont know, the three arrows just mean how much that ONE game contributed to ur rank, not how close u are to the next.
I think that the ranked exclusive rewards/BP is a great way to incentivise more players to give ranked a go - I agree with you. I definitely would play more ranked if there were more things to unlock for sure! 😂🎉
I'm currently top 500 and altho I feel ranked has got better over time I like the idea of the ranked battle pass or extra cosmetics in ranked. It would definitely keep players engaged. Your right the community needs more people willing the grind though the ranks - Anyway keep up the good work 👍
I understand the reasoning behind the ranked pass, but I vehemently disagree with it. I try to get as many cosmetics as I can since creating outfits is one part of the game I really enjoy. I personally just dislike ranked in general, the expectations from random teammates makes it unfun, and though it is now less of a time investment, it's still three rounds to get to the end, whereas I could play powershift, or quickcash and have more varied matches. I know it is not tiered, but playing it for the sake of getting cosmetics or rewards would be an issue, similar to how, currently, at the beginning of new circuits, you'll find people not playing the objective and instead going off to a corner to deal 250,000 structural damage.
Thanks for the thoughful comment - this is the sort of discussion I was hoping this video would foster. I do disagree here, though, because I think the issues you see with Ranked - which I think are currently valid points - are based on how ranked is right now. But if player numbers in Ranked could be increased significantly, then you should end up with random teammates who have much more similar skill levels, and therefore hopefully aligned expectations too. Ranked is competitive, so there's always going to be some level of expectation around everyone playing well to win though. The point about players not playing the objective and just focusing on contracts would be resolved in two ways - firstly, those players are never going to progress above Bronze by not playing the objective, so you might only encounter them for a few games each season, and, secondly, it would be in Embark's interest to avoid contracts in Ranked that aren't objective based - if they need contracts at all - the Battle Pass and Career rewards for Ranked could solely be based on XP. Lastly, I think the time investment thing is personal choice. Players who don't have much time to dedicate to the game are probably best playing Casual more often that Ranked anyway. The goal of the ideas I've put forward in the video are to attract more players who can give the game a significant time investment by playing Ranked more than Casual.
@@RockhoundBlack Yeah, having a ranked battle pass be based on experience would be a good idea, even more so if they then increased xp gain in higher rounds. Though, I’d still rather more of the reward/incentive be based in casual. This is irrelevant but I didn’t mean time investment in the long term, but how one ranked match can take 2 to 3 times as long say, one quick cash match. And I don’t entirely disagree with you about this, but I think “preventing” access to ranked cosmetics by having the game mode be unappealing is a solid reason to not go for this, if there were large changes to the general structure then it would be good though, which I guess is what your point was in the first place.
Roughly 1 million accounts have been logged as having at least tried ranked this season based on my ranking when I got placed Silver 2. I can't speak for diamond queue times but I'm Plat 2 and even in the wee hours of the morning queues are never longer than 2-3 minutes now that the playercount has been reduced. While I miss that 4th round, I don't care /that much/. But in any case ranked playercount seems pretty healthy and I'm sure reducing the round length from 4 to 3 will encourage a handful of more players to give it more of a go. That said I really do not think adding more missable cosmetics to ranked will really help much. People should only want to play ranked if they want to play a comp mode. From what I can tell you can hit Diamond by just playing a ton cause you lose waaaay less fame points for poor performances than you gain for a good performance. But that's most ranked modes these days cause they're not designed to be competitive anymore they're designed to be a carrot on the stick for players like myself who are just addicted to seeing rank go up.
I love and hate this game so much. For ranked it’s busted. This new patch f it up for me. Yes it’s better to have 3 rounds and the matches are closer.however it feels too punishing. Literally was rank plat 2. Lost 2 matches went down to plat 3. Won two tourneys went back to plat 2. Then lost 2 matches and went down again. In between I passed first round and it gave me nothing. It is just busted I really don’t want to play any more. New mode is awesome and I would like to see it in a ranked environment. Also playing on Xbox series x and the voice chat has not worked for the past 2 months. I’ve had enough with developers treating consoles like 2nd class citizens. Why can’t I play with mnk on con ole while fucking pc players can play with both and even other peripherals. I am sorry but this game is so inconsistent that even hardcore player who have put more than 150hours are getting tired of it. Hope they fix it but I am not keeping my hopes up on this one.
its sad to say but the 3v3v3v3 ranked mode is just an unbalanced not fun mode :/ especially if u compare it to the 2 new normal modes. they are both way better. ist just unfair if u get double teamed or boring if 3 team fights at other objective and u stay afk alone for 2 mins
More Battle Pass and 500 Multi Bucks codes giveaways coming soon! ❤
Rank battle pass is a huge 99999 IQ play. I would definitely support that
So true. More people engaging the main game mode
@@r0yalr0sePTno thanks.
@@jordankelly4684 kkk why is that?

I stopped playing ranked because I only wanted the gold m60 skin.
We missed you dude

Yeah but it is a good idea still. Impossible to win a Powershift mode with all these Lights sniping from far for the Mission contracts
Gaaaah! I was the third 2 watch your video...
...congratulations to whoever got the 500 bucks!
Great video as always mr RockhoundBlack!
this is such a great idea
I recently started... And I want to play ranked but I often have to wait 20+ minutes to find a match...
Has anyone seen the credits I feel like there’s some lore in there

I was gonna ask what’s the title of that banger in the intro because it sounded familiar… man that was the emote, the one I fucking use
Haha it’s so good!
Damn missed out on the battle pass
banger idea
who got the code
If they do Ranked Terminal Attack for S3, it should be tournament style #ReachTheFinals
Dammit i was to late for the codes
More coming soon!
my first season playing ranked, im silver getting placed into full plat lobbies :(
HOW ARE PEOPLE SO FAST WITH THESE CODES 😢
The first person to get on the video is likely to claim both if nobody claims the second by the time they're done with the first so it's very tight.
More code giveaways coming soon!
