Ranked Preseason Feedback

Gears 5
#212

Now the ranking system favors way too much in your team winning each match. And in order to win consistently you need a 4-5 player stack lobby because random players suck at the game most of the time. Ofcourse not always, but most of the time. If I play solo, I find myself in situations I need to carry in order to just keep up with the other team and still we lose. This is frustrating. No matter what I do the rank goes down because we lose. Solution: I Can only play at times when my friends are online if I want to gain higher rank. And that is what I and most players probably want.

So I am forced to play less this game. Is this what the developers want?

to summsrise my point:
ranking higher = team effort, not personal skill
= no logic person plays this game without a proper good team

indeed, even if you play solo, everyone on team should communicate, i’ve been stacked teams before with full solo team members, many play and dont even use the mic but they should, this isn’t FFA

#215

nope, that would make increase matchmaking time to find matches

The seemed to have relaxed match guidelines for now till people get where they need to get too. The problem is now we have the same terrible system we had before the new rank system. Before the laxing teams were fairly even.

Last night I was playing with a group of onxy players. Highest was lvl 2. Lowest was a lvl1.

We got matched up against 2 diamond 2 a gold 3 and a silver. I forget the other one.

We never should have saw the diamond 2s given how the current system works. They are supposed to get matched up with the higher rank. So that squad should have played against diamonds.

The fact we got matched tells me there isnt enough people left playing this game for the other option to be viable. The highest player we should have seen was a onyx 3 maybe a diamond 1 and gold 3s.

When I play solo same thing happens. I’ll face a stack of onyx or diamonds while I get golds and bronzes.

TC Can we have Assists count as Assists instead of Eliminations? They are not the same thing, thank you.

Why can’t i join back in if i lagged out? Very annoying and i lose like 400 points.

#219

I got dropped out of two games today, no option to rejoin, and lost points both times. Not sure what that’s about.

#220

Not gonna happen

RANKED DISCONNECTS

My internet seems to disconnect every two to three matches for like 30 seconds which kicks me out of a match. Before OP4 the game would ask me if I wanted to rejoin the match but now that’s not an option anymore. This needs to be fixed, it puts teams at a disadvantage and really makes things less fun.

I love the new Ranking system also!
I also think MVP should get 25/50 extra GP

Respect the “Skills” of your playerbase. Allow us do our 10 placement-matches.

Is not a good idea everyone start on “Bronze”.

Yes i got that “You want we workout our rank to master playing a lot daily” but having Diamond players on bronze, silver, gold ranks “Ruin” the exp of your playerbase.

Allow us do 10 placement matches on every-mode and obtain our “True-Rank” like Overwatch.

Your ranking system should work on this way

1 to 1000 Bronze “Remove the bronze 1,2,3 etc”
1001 to 2000 Silver
2001 to 3000 Gold
3001 to 4000 Onyx
4001 to 5000 Diamond
5001 to 5500 Master only the Top-500 players will be able to hit master.

Winning a game will give you 25 points
Losing a game will remove 25 points
Self performance will have 15% losing-/winning+ “SR points”.

Leaver penalty sould be Tied to the Hardware the console/pc will receive the BAN not only the profile.Also SEVEN leaves per week should be the max allowed if you exceed this number u need wait until the monday to play again “Ranked”.

Problem with your ranking-system is “Good” but that do not FEEL SPECIAL being diamond/master like that used to be on Gears 4 or like LoL, Overwatch.

So if you’re a Diamond player with 5000 points, but there are already 500 people in the Master category, you won’t ever get there until one of the 500 drops out? Doesn’t make sense… points = points. If you get enough points, you rank up, which is how it works now and is much better than capping it, imo.

…said the PvE player… I’ll see myself out of this thread now…

You will need "Steal the rank"

So yeah if you are 4950 SR but you can’t keep solid win-rate for master material you stay on “DIAMOND” Forever. These ranks are deserved for the ABSOLUTELY best of the best the ELITE of the ELITE.

Being 4950 SR having 60% win rate is not enough you will need 70%-75% win-rate. Also your Score per minute will be took in consideration

But imagine for a moment that 500 people want to reach Master in all modes. So 500 people reach Master in KOTH and then completely stop playing that mode to move on to 2v2 Gnasher.

Those 500 are the only people ever allowed to be Master??

Again… I’m not a PvP player, but just trying to grasp how you would handle certain situations.

Well the reactions you are having right now is EXACTLY what i want to generate on the playerbase. “I want the rank be something unique and special”.

Playing x3 times at week KoTH, TDM, GUARDIAN and keeping your Godly TOP-500 Stats will allow you stay on the Master levels. Unless you stop playing for 3 weeks then you will decay to 4999 because yeah people is fighting you for the “Rank actively” and they are trying "De-ranking you"

Lets say i took 3 weeks break i was 5400 SR. I go back to 4999 but because im a “MASTER” on less than 5 games i will be on 5100 SR again.

I explain better how the placement matches will work

Everyone will start the placement games on 0 SR

Lets say a “Diamond player”

The 10 placement matches will be weight on 500 SR instead of 25 SR to determine the “True-Rank” every-season.

Everyone will start the placement games on 0 SR. Win +500 sr / lose -500 sr

A gold-player he will probably win 5-5 he will be placed on 2500
A onyx-player with 6-4 = 3000 SR very close of not being onyx
A Diamanco with 8-2 = 4000 SR "Sorry if you can’t keep 80% win rate vs bronze, silver, gold, low onyx you do not deserve that rank.

I know what youre sayin. It seems like it takes a long time to get to the rank you actually belong to. Maybe placement matches would be good to go back to idk. I do like the new GP system though,

Overwatch is a great game and I’m a big fan. However, I don’t think they need to copy the overwatch system. Gears can be its own game.

I don’t like the new method to rank up, that losing points to winning and that each elimination costs 1 point is a garbage you lose more than you earn

#231

There needs to be more ways to earn GP, revives, execution, mvp ect. Also Caps and breaks need to be combined into 1 and the max needs to be increased

Change in koth ranked to reduce elim GP to 1 has another side effect. I felt team that won 1st rnd ,wantedly lost 2nd and won 3rd again. This was done to achieve max gp from match . This will be terrible if exploited
