So from my understanding rank doesn't mean a whole lot and is not tied to matchmaking.

What I suggest is make Elo (whatever that is) the new rank system so players can see how they stand.

We already have a season pass so it would make sense to take the rewards from the rank system and add them to the season pass. The rewards would need to be balanced around the fact that you wouldn't be able to double dip from ranking up in multiple game modes.

Or add the rewards as different milestones at the end of the normal season pass for people who really grind the game and as extra incentives for anyone completes the season pass early.

This would eliminate the need to hand out rewards at the end of the season and streamline the game a little.

rank should be based on elo right?

#

It is (mostly) based on Elo. The suggestion here is basically to make Elos public and delete visual ranks

#

Mostly because it's mixed at season start

I like the old ranking system better. It was more defined. Idek or care what my rank is nowadays as a more casual player

Well yeah, hence public Elos as suggested a lot of times all over MM social media/chats would help.

we need to spam the next polls with demands about reworking ranks, i don't think suggesting it here or even in #✨general over and over is enough

Nice ?

shrewd epoch
# icy hemlock Nice ?

So how is anyone on console supposed to know what their elo is if it's not visible?
Or how to check what it is if they don't even know it exists?

#

I still don't know what elo even is or how it works

Then spend some time on reading on it, there are lot of materials on the internet. Elo is not secret. MM's implementation doesn't differ a lot from the standard one - it just has some quirks like different calculations in 2v2s, bots as potential opponents and combining it with visual rankings.

#

As to how it combines with rankings can be found randomly on the Discord. E.g. Entropy/fdm shared a bunch of info, like how the points correspond to the expected rank

is that video up to date? i think something changed lately

sand shard
#

I don't really think anything changed with regards to Elo and Rank.

delicate cloak
#

so matchmaking is still all about elo?

#

i thought i read someone say it was a mix but maybe i got confused

icy hemlock
#

rank points are influenced by elo and rank

sand shard
#

Maybe you should watch the video 😛

maybe

That was a bug rather than a change to the system.

#

Shouldn't it be more clear then this though?
I spent like 3 yrs not even knowing elo existed.

sand shard
#

Yes 100%

icy hemlock
# sand shard Yes 100%

Honestly I'm not that sure. You never have to interact with the system at all. People just want to be able to complain their teammates are incompetent

#

Maybe like 65%

So you're enjoying the game more now that you know?
