Ranked is mega unpopular even though it offers the same rewards as Unranked

That's what I'm considering you know... I'm for that than exp buffs. Getting better rewards doesn't make the content fun.

a good start would be putting rival wings on the duty roulette...

Getting better rewards is also not mutually exclusive from improving or developing new and fun modes.

They arent on a shared budget because they are designed by separate people. PvP modes and combat are designed by a different team (Combat Design) than those managing game systems (UX Design) to facilitate rewards and encouragement to further engage with the other. They are supposed to be symbiotic, not exclusive from each other.

......I'm just hearing cope right now...

......I'm just hearing cope right now...

How is it cope when I am only saying that both can happen at the same time? Like I am not even "against" either side, I'm only adding my input on this one based on what is logical in modern game development.

But if you truly believe that they can't coexist, feel free to disagree.

Just remove casual and have a ranked only mode using season 1 ranking system. Problem solved.

lmao no, that will just kill the mode.

As opposed to no matchmaking casual where crystal players just completely stomp on people?

It won't work considering bots and win trading still being the issue. Forcing the casual player to do rank is just going to make them leave. You not really solving the problem, but making it worse. .................it's like ppl don't really learn from their lesson. Creating a "solution" that sounds good on paper, but in practice make it worse. Let's add de-ranking guys, that's the solution........where's everyone at?

id rather just let ranked die, focusing on fun should be priority.

Because Ranked is just Bots, win traders and cheaters.
Unranked at least if you are playing without 3rd party tools you have about a 50/50 chance of winning.
I dont cheat, win trade nor bot, unless i get good RNG on who i get matched with, i dont get past Bronze, 1 win wont boost you up a tier if you lose 5 times in a row due to having bad players on your team and no way to prevent being matched with them.
Realistically, Ranked should just be a trap where the top 100 get banned for cheating the system and using 3rd party tools lol.
Hell make that a rule for the top tier of rankings and you would be about 99% accurate on legit bans! XD
