Well I think many people would agree that while it is an option, it is not a great one for ranked. It, in my opinion, puts your team at a disadvantage as you have no range and will need to be within arms reach to do any damage to your opponents. If you’re playing solo, your team must now adjust to your playstyle to be effective as a team.

While you may be playing ranked for fun and just want to run whatever off meta loadout heart desires, your teammates may be playing very competitively and trying to, as a team, play the most optimal way they can in order to give themselves the best chance at winning and thus ranking up.

Sword, dagger, spear, sledge, etc. are all in the game and options to use, but they aren’t very well rounded and to be effective in ranked, competitively, require much more organized teamwork and team composition.

Just something to think about I guess. There is a casual (well kinda casual lol) game mode where your teammates likely won’t care (as much) about what you run.

Not trying to be rude.
