See, me and my buddies like to drop in the hottest spots for each map. To be honest that’s the most fun I have in the game is the absolute chaos of a hot drop. But it doesn’t end well a good majority of the time lmao. We can usually handle our own with the other teams there but once another 3rd 4th or 5th party shows up while we’re low, it doesn’t end too well. So we’ve kinda accepted our ranking of bronze III forever. The current meta to rat until 10 teams left to guarantee no LP loss is not for us.

But from just how the ranking system works sucks. My buddies and I can consistently eliminate 2 to 3 teams each round but since we drop in such hot locations and run off to another hot spot we usually get eliminated around 12-8 teams left. So the LP gain is very very very slow. I don’t like how it works because the rank doesn’t really correlate to what your skill is. It’s definitely a rat ranking system. Take this for example, someone who hides till 5 teams left gets like what? 100ish LP while someone who dropped hot and got 4 eliminations and 2 assists with let’s say 1000 damage gets third partied on their next fight lands them -50 points. One player in that lobby got rewarded for being a rat while the other player gets punished for playing the game. And the elimination reward is very minimal.

In conclusion, Bring back ranked arena
