low Rank

Hi Deadlock,
I'm enjoying the game and can't wait to see how it evolve. That being said while the game is still in developpement, I believe its important to look at the "Rank" system. I'm not going to layout all the ideas that I have in mind but I do believe that right now its seem that the current system is more or less like other game out there (Marvel Rival, League of Legends, Valorants, Etc..). Again, I have alot to say about that kind of system but in the case of Deadlock the problem is time investment. I'm low rank and still learning alot but the point is: When you begin to understand the game more and get better little by little "Winning" shouldnt be the thing that keep you at low rank especialy if you queue solo. In the picture below I did pretty well myself but actualy lost a rank. The game lasted 55mins. While not the sole indicator of skills level, the stats can give an overall view of what im saying.

If I can use an analogy: Connor Mcdavid is the best Hockey player on earth. Still, he have yet to win a Stanley Cup. His Rating: 97 overall. His salary: Well lets just say he is going to be a very wealthy man soon. Yes its a team sport. Yes you win and loose with your team but your value and efforts shouldnt be diminish by others. I lost with my team fair and square and thats part of the game but my salary for my effort? lost of a rank.

Anyways I hope you can see my point and that it help a little bit.

Thanks for the great game,

Emanzy.

The only reason we have ranked right now is because they released a proper ranked mode like last November and realized jt was wayyy to early to be doing that (plus constant meta changes) so they took it out and we got the passive rank as a substitute.
At the moment ranked is determined solely by if you win or lose, doesnt matter how good or bad you did in the game.
They absolutely will do changes to ranked once the game official releases but until then it'll be like this for a while

Ignore it in the meantime it means nothing right now, focus on having fun and if you dony have fun with something give feedback in the forum! We're all playtesters after all
(Also give gameplay feedback in the proper section)
