Hi dev, first off, I like the game concept, and I don't mind if there are bugs here and there often, as I have been a playtester last year till now, I do see some improvements as well. Games have been way fun in comparison to what it was a year ago.

But my biggest issue with this game currently is the player base. I was Ritualist 5 previously, and currently, after the rank reset, I have recalibrated to Alchemist 4. It is fine with me. But the team pairing is so bad that I am teaming up with players who are intentionally feeding the game and leaving the game, turning it into 5v6. Rank is not going up or down. For context, at times I do play with friends, but most of the time I play solo. (Friend rank is at phantom 4, and I have more fun matching with players who are above emissary with wins and losses too)


It became a point that players are saying words such as I am here for the fun of the game, I do what I want while the rest of us on the team have to deal with it. What is the point of tick matching with players who are extra competitive in the setting? Another thing to take note of is that I/we are South East Asians as well, and at times we match with people from Asia (JP/ KR/CN) . Languages are difficult to communicate in one. I don't mind if we can separate the server to keep the disconnecting issues as well as lag different from one another.

My suggestion is probably to create a general rank reset for everyone, or give an option for the old playerbase like me for a rank reset. It is very difficult to play with new players and players who are here for the fun and not playing along with the team competitively. I encountered a 15-game losing streak because of the issue listed above. I have no idea how the matchmaking calibrates me with this playerbase.

If you would like to see my match history, I don't mind sharing my ID, and you can have a look at it. Each match, there will be at least feeders in one team/enemy too (mine happened way too normally), and people who DC match midway showing up the sign match not score, but leaving is considered a loss.

Attached are a few of the matches that I have encountered with the player base.

Thanks

Game is unwinnable in SEA server. Mostly worthless trash players with 0 map awareness.
Also if this is with new ranking system, you're playing with initiate scum, whatever the rank icon might say.

I have the same issue, my old rank was put in ascendant, but now I'm deranking every game. I'm at phantom 5 now and still trending downward.

Rank reset would give me a huge elo bump, since my winrate would reach my average winrate, instead of me fighting against my 1k hours of learning the game winrate.
