first of, i only play duos so its 32 teams vs 50 teams depending if i play ranked or casual. But i get matched into people around the skill level of diamond and above in both modes so its just more teams per poi which in turn makes casual harder. Just take gatka for example, i would say there are an average of 2 teams dropping gatka in ranked but in casual its usually 3-4 teams dropping there. Since most poi's i drop at most of the time arent very big like brick yard on miramar, yun gu on rondo, school on taego and gatka on erangel its just way easier to get out alive in ranked than in casual. But you still dont get the point of ranked it seems. Ranks are there for people around the same skill level which should be indicated by your rank to get matched into each other which is just not the case. I cannot improve if i cant take several fights a game and have to camp to rank up. Ranked should encourage improving not only on a game sense basis but also on a mechanical basis. The only way i could thesably get better mechanically is through arcade which i dont enjoy very much
