    Who knows, maybe I'll go from Crystal to Platinum one day, if that happens I'll adjust, learn some strategies, play new jobs, try to diff a weak player. That's how it should be in ranked PVP.

    As long as lower rank queues keep popping and give you a chance to climb back up. I'm curious what this "dynamic matchmaking" will look like in practice, maybe it will fix the issue of low rank queues dying.
    I could care less about the top 100 grind. Keeping crystal wouldn't really be a problem for me and I'm not against de-ranking. It just kinda dawned on me after today that the queue times are probably gonna suck.

    The game desperately needs to bring an end to solo ranked queuing. Solo's should be for unranked only. They need to bring back teams and ranked should be teams only.

    People seem to think there is this pool of great players stuck in low ranks because all they got was bad matchmaking. It's just people trying to justify their incompetence. If you joined the season too late and can't get pops anymore, that's on you as it was very predictable what would happen.

    Everyone in the top 100 has played with the same worthless teammates. Everyone has bad days where they are gonna be down 1000 points, but they make it back. They didn't have chat available, they were not all in discord voice chats. They were just better (unless they wintrade).

    If you can't make it back, you either didn't put in the time or you are not good enough. Either way, you didn't belong in the higher ranks. It really is that simple.

    ..........so you're saying that the only way to fix pvp for this game, to fix CC is to basically sacrifice 80%+ of ppl in order to get the best of the best in the top ranks. If they can't make it they just incompetent and shouldn't play the content at all lmao. That's a great way to kill your game lol.

    There's casual queues for people who want to play for fun. Ranked should be competitive. Right now, it's not. No one wins, the competitive players are frustrated to play with newbies and newbies are frustrated that they can never win.

    Crystal queues should be where the best fights the best only. Yes.

    That's going to be a questionable thing to prove once this new system is implemented. I'm now curious to see how the reactions will be with crystal credit rank players how they'll respond now that they "newbies" are kicked out.

    Edit: You literally got my brain active now cause I'm now going to see who is the new "newbie" in crystal rank. Is it 100 credit, 500 credit, 700 credit, 1k credit? I'm excited on this new toxic mentality lmao.

    It's not a points thing. Sort your leaderboards at the end of the match by damage done. It's the 100k RDM.

    I don't even care anymore lol. I'm now going to see who is going to be the new "newbie" for crystal rank players. Pretty much save all the headache from platinum and diamond rankers lol.
