Now that we know mmr will be the matchmaking factor, can we have ranks set to actually reflect personal performance?

Set emblems to a standard of play that we'd like to see in a rank 1. Make them difficult without adjustments for a player's current rank so we can self reflect on where we are falling short of high performance.

Reaching the top needs to be a result of playing like that "%" and the emblems a tool for realizing what's stopping that progression.

    Yeah it's pretty wild that I'm the same rank as Otzdarva or Scott Jund. I'm absolute trash at this game and that should really be expressed somehow.

    when the mmr system is fully functional the rank system will have nothing to do with player skill but instead is based on how much a person has played within a month.

    on the 13th of every month all players will be reset down to 20 and be given blood points based on there highest achieved number its basically a goal for players to try and achieve every month and another way of getting blood points to alleviate the grind.

    Rank means nothing. Consistently the worst teammates I have are the red and purple. It's actually shocking sometimes. I get into a game assuming I'm playing with level 18s and sure enough, all red ranks.

    Yeah I'd like this. I sometimes depip when I win, so sometimes I'm at rank 2 instead of rank 1 which really sucks, as I have in my PSN description "R1 Nurse Main"

    I feel like I should be at green rank. Pretty much in the middle, nothing special. I can perfome quiet well but it is nothing exceptional and I see a huge difference to many/some Red Ranks I am forced to compete with. There are so many small things I have yet to master.

    I think that if they do not make a MMR they should increase the Rank reset. Make it 10 ranks and not just one color and make rank 20 and 19 only for new players. That way people like me who play more occasionaly climb slower than people who are at the top like Scott, Tru3, Otz and whoever. Hell, they made the Bloodweb a grind like no other but Ranks just fly by when you play a bit of a Killer, get some chases going and kill one or two people per trial who were the weakest link in their team.

    Like, do you think I should get ranked up from 9 to 8 when I only kill the unfortunate Rank 18, while the Rank 10, Rank 9 and Rank 4 all escape me? Sure thing they did not have an easy match, I got a few hooks. But I surely did not perfome better than the Rank 10 or 9, I only did the expected by killing the Rank 19. As suchI should stay at my Rank and not get rewared.

    I wonder if rank reset would be a thing.

    If there will be matchmaking based on skill, then we will stay on one rank because our winrate after calibration ideally will be ~50%. So if rank will reset, then we all get on lower rank every month without any possibility to rank up.
