CC Rank should be linked to job

You could carry a bronze silver game as a single person easily if you are a decent crystal player, but once you hit gold and on up, that becomes less and less the case.

Simple solution, if you make crystal as one job, start all other jobs at gold and make them climb from there. Heck, also adds the ability for other achievements and reward opertunities.

Oh I don’t disagree. Heck even in my own play I can see a ridiculous amount of stuff I did wrong at the start of my climb vs now. I do think the system does allow for a degree of getting boosted to a tier higher than you should from just variance and streaking though.

Letting you start at a lower rank for other jobs wouldn’t actually be a bad idea, since playing in casual has limits to how well you can learn it and you don’t have to grief teams of people actually trying to climb in crystal with your barely gold level alt job until you get practiced up

Game sense & knowledge do transfer. And you make it sound like learning a job with 6~8 buttons is rocket science. You're clearly being disingenuous.

Have you ever thought maybe that’s where they belong? If they’re still stuck in diamond after 500 games they should consider themselves lucky they can’t derank. Instead, these miserable snivelers will reject introspection, blame constant bad-luck, make sh*t up and throw self-pity parties for themselves on here. Avoid taking such stories at face value.

Oh, I am not argueing this point at all. As I climbed through diamond though, it was bluntly apparent that sometimes the inability to derank was giving people the "option" to play something totally new, thus wrecking the chances of somebody else trying to push higher who may or may not deserve the rank they are trying to obtain.

I would also be lying if I said I have not considered trying out some new jobs while I'm crystal with low points before I try to climb the score, but I don't want to devalue somebody elses chances for the convience of my own experience, so my option is to use a dummy at the pier, or play casual, yet I what I need to do is learn how the combos and such work against skilled players. Casual could provide that, sometimes, or it could provide 9 people who are on their second CC game ever and have never pvped before that.

I just think allowing us to rank up multiple jobs differently will provide for a better over all experience for all involved, those climbing, and those trying to make the climb. It is entirely possibly for a player to be a crystal dragoon, but only a gold samarui, some people just click better with other jobs.

And yet you and I could both point to people that play like absolute garbage and don't even do basic, competent DPS rotations. I think you're the one being disingenuous to act like there isn't nuance to each class. There's a lot of difference between a MNK that's just mashing buttons and a MNK that is timing ability use for maximum effect.

Because someone is playing badly, doesn't mean they're on an alt-job. They most likely are just bad, period. Lots of those even in crystal.

My point was that Casual is good enough for someone to pick up a job and practice it to a competent level. Then it's perfectly fine for them to queue back in ranked Crystal and master it further. Are you gonna refute even that notion?

But mainly, a few idiots deciding not to practice a new job before queuing ranked doesn't warrant penalizing the whole community by tying ranking to individual jobs.

The grand majority of players quite enjoy the option to be flexible on 2-3 jobs either to play around map cycles and/or keep things fresh.

If you can't handle a few such losses so much that you want to implement this limitation to all of us, I suggest you reflect on your misplaced sense of self righteousness and get some fresh air.

The entire point is that you would have true skill-based matchmaking. If I can queue into a high skill game with a class I know nothing about, then that defeats the purpose and function of that system. Are you really so unwilling to admit that?

If you're so good with all three of those classes, why are you refusing so badly to climb all 3 of them for extra achievements and rewards anyway? It's not penalizing a community, it's giving them something extra to work towards.

The self entitlement is to think you should be just handed something for free without having to work for it. That seems to run rampant in this game lately.

Why not link your CC rank to a specific job you play. A: It would give you multiple climbs to do, B: would stop people from switching in crystal to "learn" at the expensive of those trying to climb their numbers. This can't be that hard to implement.

De-ranking. Limit it exclusively from crystal to diamond if necessary. Then only allow crystals to fight crystals.

Problem solved.

That was one element of feast that was spot on.

Wish developer can add stats to player profile. Since there is scoreboard at end of the match. Think is also more easy to track how players perform in match. XD

It would be an improvement but I'm not convinced it would entirely solve the issue. But it would be an improvement, so definitely let's at least start there.
