Just get rid of ranked

[Elfidan]

To be fair the whole point of casual modes in pvp games is to warm up for ranked play. Nobody does that though. lol

Please speak for yourself, I do. Also no, casual exists not purely for warmup, the name hints otherwise.

I'm not speaking for myself I am making an observation on the majority. I prefer to play a few games before ranked to check ping etc.

You are free to have that opinion but there is no reason to punish players with less experience or skill by matching them randomly with anything from unranked to top 100 other than to practice. If anything ranked is a safer space for the casual player as they will mostly get matched with people of similar skill and this only becomes stronger later into the season. People are only offended by the idea of ranked because it has items attached to it they may not be able to get. And for many who post about it here the payoff is not worth the time invested. However, they still want those items.

i mean yeah but thats not really the entire reason, sure theres a fancy new weapon sure but thats not 100% of the reason no. thats like..... 3% if at all, people would rather focus on having fun and not have the stress of 'ranking up'
but of course with ranked already being dead, theres no reason to touch it lol.

Can't say I have experienced that personally Larc. I'm sure there are some wide variances from DC to DC as well though.

I mean people are pretty toxic in casual and ranked on primal but idk Towa. I think if you don't put value into the plates or weapons it doesn't have to be stressful.

Nobody does that because theres no need to.
