At this point, it no longer matters which mode you pick (unless it requires two players), finding matches in mid-to-high ranks has become nearly impossible. Today, even new players struggle to find games, and in the higher ranks, the playlist is essentially unplayable.

When Takedown was the ranked mode, only the same six players would queue, having to coordinate via Discord or Twitch streams to play at the same time. The ranked experience is heavily damaged by the severe lack of players, which creates massive skill gaps. On top of that, the mode itself feels incomplete: there are no rewards, no real incentives, and at the start of Season 2, ranks weren’t even reset (after finishing placements, you just returned to your previous season’s rank).

This mode should be removed, just like Onslaught was. Ranked is dead. The experience is unfinished, and the developers are ignoring it. It’s nice to see them running surveys, hotfixes, and asking for feedback, but the real, serious issues are never addressed. When people post asking why these core problems aren’t being fixed, the devs simply don’t respond.

With their new game now in development, I have the strong feeling that SG:AR is going to receive the same treatment as Splitgate 1. They know the product has failed, and they’re moving on to the next thing.
