Ranked is much better than Randoms

[MightyMac22]

The way Ranked is split into a very rough skill based set of groups I think is providing much more enjoyable game play in my opinion.

The only real issue is the CV which you can work around of course but they are much more powerful in this mode if played by a competent user.

Having smaller teams is a huge factor, I think most people would settle on playing Silver League as I have.

This is mainly I feel because as with ranked before, when the good CV players have ranked out after a little while, all the really good CV players are now playing in Gold.

Bronze was just as bad as random play with the potato's having as much if not more saying on the outcome much as they do in Random game play.

 

What do people think about splitting random game play the same way ?

 

 Discuss.

I agree. 12v12 is a mess. And MM make it even worse. In ranked you have smaler teams, combats are more compacts and you have much larger impact on game itself. Big plus is max 2 tier range of ships.

I'd probably still leave Randoms as they are, despite the problems (and Randoms has been pretty hideous since the introduction of Deadeye apparently made things even worse than usual), but I would like to see Ranked running pretty much all the time, as a distinct mode.

 

Perhaps changing the tiers around season-to-season might be worthwhile? This time we had 8, 9&10, and 10 (I think); next time perhaps go with 6, 6&8, and 8; something else the time after, and so on...?

 

CV-free Ranked would also be a significant improvement (small maps); if that happened, Randoms staying as they are would be necessary to stop the CV fans having a complete meltdown.

I wish ranked started already again. Randoms are just so incredibly infested with potat.... I mean "players who are still learning the game even though they often have tens of thousands of games played already".

Who would have ever thought, that we would say that, right?

I really think, this should be a thing. Could go down to T2 - T4 for all I care.

[Kr1gsG4ldr]

Totally agree.

Maybe i'm not likeable from the most part of players and if they had the opportunity they will kill me because i'm cvs focused player, but yes i played ranked and i found a more mature and competent sorround than random, never uptiered and much less "hate" if you know what i mean, which makes the expirience more enjoyable, indeed i literally stopped playing random, just did some because i had nothing better to do.

Can't wait for the next season of ranked to begin.

[Redcap375]

CB's is the only thing I'm looking forward to. No CVs this time so tactics are back on the table thank god. 

 

Randoms are simply shocking and ranked isn't any better, but I do like the newer system to be honest. 

 

The sea of red players is eye watering at every tier. The average player has gonna be 46-47%. Seeing even a yellow player is getting rare now.

staying in bronze to grief people with op cvs/10

[Camperdown]

1 important difference imo is that in ranked most people actually try to win. In random I often despair because boats are just floating around doing peew peew.

[JG4_sKylon]

Since i do not care anymore about reaching rank 1 with a good winrate, i really enjoy ranked.

 

1. MM +-0 / +-1

It´s so enjoyable to take a Tier 8 ships you like and click "battle" without having nightmare of PetroOplovsk, Franklin D. Ruletheworld and Thunderer.

 

2. 7vs7 fits my older and slower brain more. It´s just not such a mess in terms of numbers.

 

I completely grinded the russian CA line (from Tallinn to Petro) in ranked and actually had fun (most of the time) doing it.

One of the nice things of the new ranked system is that you don't need to rank out to get all of the rewards. You just need to win 18 times. Ranking out in gold in just a week would be a nasty grind.

Yeah, i am not in gold. Stopped in silver after i learned that you don´t get the rewards of the lower league.

I hope they will change that.

 

[lovelacebeer]

I’m quite enjoying staying in bronze very low stress and I don’t have to make much effort to get the rewards. Also weirdly people are less angry when you kill them in ranked than they are in randoms so less cries of cheater, hacks etc etc.

[Miscommunication_dept]

Hoping for a new ranked season next update.

For some reason I have a much higher win rate in ranked. In a losing game it seems you can do so much more to change the outcome in 7v7.

not really did it all weeks !

[BlackFish__]

I agree, ranked in much better than randoms.

On level matchmaking - check

Only 6 potatoes to carry - check

No stats being ruined by random idiots - check
Additional rewards even if they are meek - check
No unicum divisions against you if you play solo -check

 

However there still are massive negatives
CV in a 7vs 7 format 
AFK/Braindead team mates even in gold
Losing stars add to the frustration if losing

Rank sometime fun, when play lower tier 7,8. But more fun i get from Operation, but WG don't care about this game style anymore and it's sad. If give Operation on tier 8+ i think more people will by play this mode.

How many games played to rank out?

I needed about 30-35 to get the gold, that's quite enough in one week for me.

Second this, the reward in gold is similar to silver is unacceptable. " you don´t get the rewards of the lower league."

Gold should have silver rewards plus the current ones, to  better motivate mates.

[Perekotypole]

I enjoy 7vs7 or 8vs8. Smaller maps with lots of islands so secondary builds are viable. Player skill level spread is much lower. I can grind stock hulls. In short, lots of pluses. 

But ranking out in golden league is just unrealistic. Unicums in my guild take 50-80 games to rank out, for me It would take 100+ games, that's more then I play per week. And it's tier 10 only, so no grinding ships at all. Silver league forewer it is...

are you sure it wouldn't have slight side effect? Like potatoes trying hard for a gold league? Cause right now there isn't much motivation for potatoes to move up the leagues, unless you wanna more challange. Gold league rewards are still better then silver ones, so if you are confident, go for it. If not, stay in your current league. This seems like a very good aproach to filter out potatoes, at least the ones who can rationally think.

Now they increased the amount of stars we need by ~1,5

Makes gold even worse tbh, even if we get double rewards.

that blog is kinda stupid ... they should have put up a table with the usual information and not those 2 lines with approximate numbers ...

You get double the rewards because you get double the sprints. The amount of work per reward just increased massively.
