4v4 feast suggestion: remove ratings dark week.

[TiramisuMacaron]

Please remove the rankings freeze week from the feast. I don't think any player finds it more exciting. It causes unnecessary stress and allows cheaters to get away with even more than they do already. It is way more exciting to watch the rankings change on a daily basis than to see random people pick up +500 points in a week.

Please remove it entirely in future seasons of The Feast.

Thank you.

That hasn't happened last two seasons on primal. At least not in solo queue. I'm sure it has happened in light party but people win trade in that outside the cover of dark week as well and SE seems to just not care. For solo queue though I think it's ok even though I initially hated it at first. It does add some excitement towards the end of the season and this is coming from someone who atm is ranked in the 80s so will likely not be ranked at seasons end because of my restrictive playtime and general growing disinterest in current game content. But not knowing how much each of those wins/losses are hurting/helping my chances at the top 100 in those handful of games I'll play could be seen as exciting lol.

I'm inclined to believe that ratings are going to be much more inflated this season than the last two. It was really hard to climb season 2 (getting platinum I know the suffering). This season players are getting 100+ points a day without much issue. I have a feeling we are going to see a lot more inflation in the top 100/10 for season 3. I could be completely wrong though! I guess I lost a spot in the top 10 last season during dark week, a there were 3 new platinum players that week and I was inclined to sit on my rating because if I lost another match I would lose platinum. That was torture to get during season 2. I might have been inclined to play if I knew players were getting platinum easier because more platinum level players were playing during dark week. If I knew diamond would be so easy this season, I wouldn't have cared and just queued anyways. Hindsight is always 20/20.

I say remove rankings altogether or at least rewards associated with them, but that's just me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The wrong kind of incentives draws the wrong kind of people.

The community has been preaching this unanimously since Season 1 and SE has not even so much as commented on it. It's really disheartening to see what they do to PvP.

Oh well, maybe they will remove black week 2 years from now when everyone has already moved on and no longer cares.
