Just get rid of ranked

[Archeron]

How do you think they should do this?

I'd base ranks upon an average of someones performance in a match, a combination of Damage dealt, Kills, Assisted kills, Deaths, Healing done, Time on crystal. More likely to pair people of a higher skill level against each other. Newer players that don't quite understand their roles will stand a better chance to learn where they're not getting absolutely pummeled. Worst case if queues plummet they can still roughly get an even balance by splitting the lower ranked people between both teams. Of course it would be a bit of a nightmare to implement considering you'd also need a good job balance. I wouldn't mind any other system that would remove the rising stars and implement something more reasonable in its place.

They could also give out rewards for reaching certain ranks that would be worth grinding for, seperate from crystals, and wolf marks/collars. Portraits and recolors simply aren't good enough for the likes of me.

sounds good on paper but how would one grind out these rewards?

You'd in theory, just have to participate in the game mode, and you would naturally land in queues with people of similar skill, in similar ranks. Achieving high enough ranks would be sufficient to unlock the awards gated behind it. I'd probably put rewards beyond Platinum personally. Perhaps a unique armor set, or weapons that actually look cool enough that people would want to farm them.

I bet people would complain about being unable to get these rewards, but it would not be as much of a problem if they at the same time put items worth purchasing in the Crystal store, so it would feel like less of a total waste of time if you were stuck in a certain rank. Some content, people won't be able to clear, and thats fine. Nobody complains about Ultimates and savages, so I don't see the issue so much if they did the same with *some* PvP rewards.

sounds like that would work to me!
