You know TC only like to go backwards when it comes to Gears.
ie
Gears 4 - Cog/Swarm/Horde loadout
Seeing everyones rank
Gears 5 - 1 load out for EVERYTHING
See only your rank not even your own team

Well considering all the smurfs out there it really doesn’t matter to show the ranks in the match.
I’ll give you a tip. Before the match starts press right trigger to see the prestige levels & you can more or less determine. Of course that’s not a final indicator because there are smurf accounts.
I once got happy a while back that I had a prestige 18 on my team, that finally someone will know what there’re doing.
Really high level at that time.
And then match started, it was hard to watch.
Definitely a horde player.
PvP just wasn’t working out for them

True true. I just think rank doesn’t matter with all these smurfs. I hate it too. Because I lose a round to a smurf & the game thinks I lose to a bronze or silver & have everything to lose. While they have everything to gain. Smh. That’s on the community though.

Yeah,
This is always ridiculous,
Any high ranked/skilled player can “save” their rank and just go on a smurf and do whatever they want and affect 9 others in the game.
Crazy.

Hopefully one day soon this will be implemented. They said they’re totally redoing the rank system. So I’d imagine with that being done, they’re smart enough to have this feature. That’s if they follow through with this totally new system though lol. But first, I prefer to know why I’m D3 in KOTH, yet get matched with 2 children with zero hand eye coordination from Botswana that are bronze 2 on my team. Its basically every game I play now. If they showed ranks for this they know ppl will instantly quit. Which I swear is the reason for not seeing ranks.

almost nobody likes them man… it was a concept that didn’t work in the past, and in the future it has failed big time and you know it.
Dragon Ball its the way to go now…

I would say in most games that ranks aren’t a true representation of skill and is rather a matchmaking tool to attempt fairer matches… but this game was/is apparently trying to do just that. So, there really is no excuse apart from TC getting another headache from an already broken system. 
Also make global chat work!
My theory is that they disabled it so that Ryan wouldn’t get insulted in matches anymore

poor Ryan Clevens , the chance of seeing him again here its 1 to 100,000,000,000,000

Good. No one wants Ryan’s stinky cleavage here anyway. Give us a actual community manager that is actively involved so Ryan doesn’t have to be the one communicating with us every 6 months.
I know we have a community manager but honestly they suck and haven’t done really anything. And Ryan was helpful for a bit but eventually it just dissolved into what it always does with him. Someone says something he doesn’t like or they call him out and he cry’s like a baby and leaves. Or attempts to fire back .
The man gets a lot of ■■■■ and if he can’t take it he should stay away.
