CC Rank should be linked to job

[KickRox]

Has anybody else noticed that it seems like people say "I'm crystal and can't derank now, lets try this job I suck at" and basically cause 4v5s sometimes? Why not link your CC rank to a specific job you play. A: It would give you multiple climbs to do, B: would stop people from switching in crystal to "learn" at the expensive of those trying to climb their numbers. This can't be that hard to implement.

De-ranking. Limit it exclusively from crystal to diamond if necessary. Then only allow crystals to fight crystals.

Problem solved.

That was one element of feast that was spot on.

It would be an improvement but I'm not convinced it would entirely solve the issue. But it would be an improvement, so definitely let's at least start there.

I agree, there should be a derank. I don't think it should be as simply as "you're out of stars, fall down 1" but maybe a "you're out of stars, if you lose 4 outta the next 5, you derank. People get on strings of bad luck. Maybe thats even to easy, maybe it's 3 outta next 5......but there needs to be a way to force people to try. I think linking rank to job in conjuction with this fix might just do that.

That would be a pretty solid system to work off of. I'd also expand the amount of points you can win and lose based on total point discrepancy as well, to make losing games in Crystal potentially more harmful to your rating. Getting into and maintaining Crystal status should be meaningful. Making it so that Crystals can only face against other Crystals and you can de-rank out of Crystal (I would start people over at Diamond 5 with no stars, even) would make it more competitive and make Crystal, at least, be slightly more effective for measuring player skill levels.

I definitely don't like that Crystal status is basically a freebie if you just play enough games and/or get enough lucky streaks. That's something that definitely needs to change.
