Ranked Preseason Feedback

All I understood was “stop saying my game is ■■■ you are hurting my feelings”

I know TC does not care what I have to say and the general gears community doesn’t understand but this ranking system is horrible and should not be praised or deemed a step in the right direction. This ranking system takes 0 skill into consideration. When you get mvp in QuickPlay you get a bonus in xp. Why in ranked where it matters most you get nothing for it?

If I beat a bunch of bronze players I will get the same gears points as beating master and diamond if I perform the same. I have been master in every operation. No offense but the people who like this ranking system are perpetual silver players. Anybody who is diamond or master does not like the steep 170+ penalty to play. It literally makes it mathematically impossible for your individual performance to balance out the penalty other than winning because it is capped at 100 GP.

Winning but being the bottom player of your team will guarantee a faster rank up than a player who gets mvp who both wins and loses because of how steep the penalty is. I really dislike this system and will quit gears already achieving the top of what competitive rank play has to offer. These are my last words whether they are read or not. I no longer officially support the gears franchise financially and will put the game to rest now!

I did your edits but where is the feedback to improve the game? Maybe there is nothing you or anybody can say to revive a dying franchise. Our constructive criticism is vanity to the coalition.

I love this new system.

I’m a top player & master.

Gotta give credit to those that help us win. You can’t do it by yourself. If it was 1v5 you wouldn’t be a master. I know I wouldn’t.

I think it’s ridiculous we want to separate ourselves from lower players.

Why? They deserve as much credit as us.

I know it can be frustrating but I think this system is fine. All you have to do is win. As a master it’s very possible.

Why do you want to be noticed in a game that’s just for fun?

A person who helps me obtain master should be a master themselves, given they put the work. Tired of the gears community treating my support players like second class.

Don’t you think it’s a bit selfish to exclude these players out?

You can’t perform without a team. Micheal Jordan in a team of middle schoolers can’t beat nobody in the NBA.

We can clearly tell when we play whose about what.

P.S. : Nice grind btw

That’s the entire point of ranked. You’re playing for a rank that separates you from others.

Easy enough if you stack, but the matchmaking since OP 4 has been horrendously bad when I’ve run games solo.

It’s a pretty normal thing that if you’re good at something, you want to be recognized for it. Being good at this game is how some people have fun.

Why even bother having ranks at all? Ranks become meaningless if mediocre players who stack with better players can be Master.

Michael Jordan would still be an all-star if you surrounded him with bad teammates because he’d still have been judged on his own individual ability. Our ranking system now doesn’t do this. Continuing with your analogy, if Jordan was the best GoW player of all time, but played with 4 scrubs, under this ranking system, he wouldn’t go very far, despite being the literally best player. Which kind of highlights the flaws within this system.

Agree, but this system is pretty mediocre and needs refinement. Their latest “fixes” for KOTH that start this week don’t even really address most of people’s biggest concerns with the new system.

Exactly my point.

Without Jordan’s supporting cast he wouldn’t be known. & guess what. They all have rings. Rings equivalent to master rank.

I don’t know. I’ve hit the highest peaks to this game. It’s not a big deal. You want recognition go pro or fight in UMG.

I honestly don’t mind. It’s not like a mediocre player will get that far. They can get to onyx 1 but the competition is fierce up there & if they don’t play their part everyone suffers.

I think people are upset because some masters can’t be masters & some low level players are high level. But if you win you’re okay.

Even so it’s hard to win with weak links. Sooner or later it will be revealed.

But that’s just my trace of thought…

Yes, he would have. His rookie season he became instantly renowned. His team was filled with scrubs. His ability was on another level.

Same here. Every operation.

Why bother having ranks then?

I find it indefinitely cringeworthy when I see photos of “Masters”. The game shames the word.

It’s only to show people I am not talking out of my ■■■ like some people do . Anybody can say they are masters and have no credibility . I wanted people who have reached the top of rank give there opinion . Just like I gave mine about the new ranking system and the direction it’s going.

TC trying to fix ranked is like scrat trying to catch the nut

Brother tell me about it. I can’t believe the coalition thought it was a good idea to decrease elimination points from 2 to 1 in KOTH. How are you supposed to even rank up on a win if everybody quits and you 2-0 the opponent as master or diamond 200 or 170 points penalty - 10 caps + 10 breaks and 51 kills just to get 1 gears point. If you lose one game your ranked will be destroyed for 2 to 3 games of winning against high level opposition.

Does the coalition even play their own game? So many people are going to be pissed and get de-ranked. Gears5 multiplayer is a joke. TC can’t retain their customers at all and they are leaving instead or other games that are actually well made.

I think this new ranking system has to few parameters to differentiate the different play styles and players. It has to steep costs for entry and is very grindy. It focus to much on winning games. That it will chase the players away from the ranked playlists. In the end people will stop playing. Due to straining friendships.

please increase winning gp in koth from 150 to 200.it will be good idea because in upper league it is required to get bigger rewards

Lost GPs for somebody who was idle and kicked for being that…

What happened to the GPs that should be compensated after a player who quit the match?

Also, I’m mentioning this again: Gears Coins that are rewarded once promoted to another tier are virtually earned, they are lost seconds after like it was never there…

Can you do something about bronze? You don’t lose points so is only a matter of time for reaching silver, feels like a waste of time.

About quitters, they are in almost every match, and forget about when you search solo and enemy team is a stack. The first round and I got a quitter (or 2).

Maybe if bronze 1 was with GP entry (I don’t know, everyone start with 10 GP and Bronze 1 is 2 GP entry) there will be less quitters or at least being on bronze will be more interesting

I really like this system and the fact it’s easily tweakable is a reason why. I feel like entry costs should be lowered from gold on up. Or maybe just gold. Would something like changing the cap for each division work?

That way can adjust both entry and cap by division, if you are truly a gold or onyx player you should be able to reach the entry cost back without the W. If you don’t then you don’t belong there and will rank down until you get better. Say gold has entry cost of 70 and you go above but still lose you’d still rank up based on personal performance. Win bonus would be extra. Then adjust appropriately for each division

Just spit balling

I changed my mind, KOTH ranking is F*** trash.

Joined a match, server kicked me and lost 65 points. Joined another match, teammate quit and guess what happened? Yeah we lost. This is really making me not wanting to play anymore.

And again, why would the worst player on the enemy team should get more points than me even if I have 15 more kills and more captures? Only because their team carried? Thats BS for a supposed “ranked” mode.

TC, for real, FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL PERFOMANCE instead, use medals, multi kills i dunno! You are focusing waaaaay too much on winning. Being a gold tier only because you always get carried shows no skill at all.
