Why no one want to play ranked

[Onimusha]

Know someone the reason why no one want to play ranked? Are the people not lvl 30?

Majority of the players just go normal mode. People just go to rank if they want to go for cadet skins. Its Cadet Bianca for this season so others would opt out on it.

If you're outside ASIA, queue times are bad in other regions in rank. Queue KR (ASIA) if you want an actual rank gameplay with 300 ms which you won't when others did. They have peak queue times in other region so stick to that at most where everyone is active.

This is correct.

Eternal Return do a really bad job in Ranked, my suggestion would be to force everyone into solo Q to make at least least = chance for everyone, like League (and not allowing Duos too). There's absolutely no good bonuses for playing solo, so if you are aiming high, you get yourself a team and then pray that someone is playing it (ranked).

I have like 1000 hours in the game, but i aint touching ranked since the system itself is garbage(to my liking), so im just chilling and grind skin / events. p.s. You can easily get Gold/Plat by playing solo(for the skin), but if your goal is higher, then it's better not to waste time.

p.s. There are teamers too, since the Q is not actually that big and "god can see" that i never saw anyone banned for this on NA or EU.

Ranked points are rewarded by team kill , which usually concentrate in the hand of the 1~2 teams who steamroll the lobby . Other teams get peanuts or go minus. So most games are just 1~2 teams popping off while other rat to stamp their losses. This means ranking up requires being very sweaty and doing 3 stacks or spamming a tons of rat games.

Dak.gg usually shows that 40% of ranked players stop at Gold IV , which can mean that a good chunk of ranked players stop actively playing ranked once they get the Cadet skin of the season

They have temp banned for teaming but it's mostly streamers who lack self awareness (lets be honest a lot of them aren't the sharpest tool in the shed - smash mouth). And are having a good time but at the cost of "some random"'s game.

They even hide their discord names because of their bans. Cowardly and comedy at the same time.

I remember a certain slimey mom got one at uptown one time with golden hoof. Half of the chat (online friends) were defending their just *u***** around in game, but a NN employee didn't like it? It kind of reminds me of the paul brother's like it's okay to do completely unhinged ship with a lot of like minded people around for entertainment. But 95% of the time he's a good person and I didn't really agree with the ban.
