Ranked Unfair

[TheMauryX]

So u get 2 Ace, and earn 20 points reaching the finals, but u get -20 losing at the 2nd match, that's so unfair, and u place LUCK matches and stuff, don't want 2 say bad words, but u'r losing me, the 1 that bought the game on launch... ... ...

it's worse at Star rank (where you get almost nothing unless you win); but ultimately, you just have to earn it. Keep practicing and get more skilled at the maps. Yes, sometimes you're going to lose, but whining about the fairness that everyone has to endure doesn't look good either. Hopefully Epic will listen to the feedback from players and not include certain maps in the future, but for now, you just have to endure and keep improving; you really do have to earn the higher tier ranks.

That's the problem, some maps are only based on random stuff, like points and luck.

Chaotic and random maps actually help players with less experience.

I'm in Ace and I generally get 50 points for reaching the finals? Points are based on if you come first, top 20% and top 50%. I got knocked out on round 3 once and still made 5 points cuz I got top 20% on both previous rounds.

In my experience for me, Frantic Factory is a nightmare, Button Bashers is a death sentence and Hex-A-Gone is basically unwinnable. So I understand how you feel.

But that's the game. Im basically trapped in Ace because at that point if you want to climb higher the game is expecting you to win consistently. If you can't win rounds you can't climb higher that's how its set up.

And that's how it should be. I can tell you, once you hit Star rank, you only get 20 points for reaching the final round, meaning you'd need to reach that at least 50 times to reach Superstar, provided you don't lose in an earlier round and need to make up for lost points. You HAVE to earn the highest ranks with playing well, otherwise it defeats to concept of ranked competition. This isn't content for everyone to get max credit on without having to earn it. Everyone has to play through the same maps, so it's still fair as even good players can get screwed over by bad RNG; and while it fair that everyone has to endure it, I can understand people's arguments that some maps are still terrible for the content. But that doesn't mean Ranked matches are unfair.

I still don't get the point of collectathon rounds in ranked games. If the point was for people to test their skill, what would be the point in adding game modes that have nothing to do with skill? They might as well just add a Russian roulette feature that just automatically disqualifies random people if the point was that random chance is what helps you qualify.

I was merely reiterating your points and giving more information on higher ranks; I understood you were agreeing with my view. Just expanding on the point that while some people will max out this content, there will be others that won't, which is by design; and that people all have to endure the same maps and the random BS.

Also, congrats on reaching superstar.
