If TC were to update their ranking system, what should the game look for during the match to see if you earn points or not?
Removin ranks entirely for me personally. Didnt need em in 1-3 etc. If i wanted to show skill, id go to a lan tournament. I just want a 5v5 no bots lol

Ranks definitely caused more problems than they were worth.
But as for the OP, basically individual performance in regards to kills, deaths, revives. Pretty much whatever the system can detect. Wins should add a small bonus but should be overall irrelevant as people should not be punished when they have a team weighing them down worse than 16 anchors strapped to their ankle.

Yes. I should have clarified my post was based in regards to TDM (I’d say Warzone/Execution as well but most people here wouldn’t know what I’m talking about 
).
Yes that update was horrible, whoever’s idea it was needs a gentle head massage…with barbed wire.

Lol i assumed n ya. We all know a slight nerf was fine but it shows that objecrive is worth very lottle pts and breaks compared to kills.
30pts and 10… verus 175-225 potentially is a large desrepency haha
A message upside the head for sure at 20mph lmao jk

I think a simpler, more straightforward rank system is the way to go since their current one seems to be all over the place and isn’t working properly. A w/l based system could do the trick or if they want to stick with a system that ranks people according to the individual, a k/d based system could be good too.
As much as their system sounds awesome on paper, it’s just not cutting it, regardless of how much Ryan and his crew wants to believe it’s the best system out there.
It should be based true player skill. Not wins and losses. The tier system sucks obviously. Nobody wants to lose points when they played a great game just because their random team was trash.

K/D Ratio sounds really good
First things first. They should drop the tier system completely. Distribute points based on true player skill and points earned no matter win or loss.,
Then install random match making. That will eliminate match making waiting times. And will find a player fast so it won’t quit a whole matchmaking room just because 1 player quit.
Last show the ranking next to player tags. Whats the point of rank play if other players can’t see the rank you earned. Plus if I get owned by the 50th best player in the world, it makes me feel less worse . Because hey, he was the 50th best player in the world lol
You might see sweaty matches. But hey. This is gears! Your not gonna get away from it! Why not inbrace true random matchmaking!

It should be the way they had in 4, based on winning but mostly individual performance that way your team can’t be trash and make you derank but winning also matters.
Problem with the solo experience as far as I can tell is that it never registers how poorly your team is doing. They just expect/ predict how you will do. And that has little to nothing to do with how you are doing with your team and their advantages and disadvantages. I just had a game of guardian with team where almost everyone on my team had about 30 deaths… but I’m trash so minus 800 points. Even though I was 13 and 11, only one pushing, only one getting kills. Most of my teammates were under 10 kills.
