Just get rid of ranked

[Towa-Musa]

The dev team that takes the time to create new items for the series pass and the crystal shop is not the same team that does pvp balancing. The only recent thing that would've taken that dev time would be the glows on the hell hound weapons, and even then they are very minimal compared to the other glows in the game. Your argument of removing ranked from the game because it's only played by a small portion of the player base is like saying they should remove Ultimate raids because they are also played with a small portion of the player base. And Ultimate raids do take more dev time to make than trying to keep CC balanced, and it also benefits the whole player base.

counter argument to that is, they can use casual mode to keep stuff balanced to since its quite literally the same thing and im quite certain ultimate raids don't require FOMO rewards to keep going neither does it have coin toss matchmaking with little to no control over who you match with, that argument does not hold water.

BUT im open minded so if there's another reason you can come up with that would make a reasonable person with an open mind actually THINK that ranked is good enough on its own and does not need life support, id like to hear it.

EDIT:
I have seen the 'ultimate raid' argument multiple times and it does not really work in this situation.
