Why most people play Ranked instead of Quick Matches?

[faba]

Besides the "Failed Matchmaking" hell I find that Ranked rooms populate sooner than Qui Match rooms. Any good reason for that? I guess it might be related to MS cost options

[Gamejunky05]

mostly cuz of penalty system i think.

cause rank can gaint rank point,but qp just qp,nothing more fun inside

rated gives better rewards. you get more DP and XP in rated. so it's the best place to do your dailies in. also, going up in rated is a requirement for future promotions and higher rating gives more rewards again so more incentive to do rated. QP is basically for fun only.

Ok, agreed but seeing that most teams do pretty bad in ranked, shouldn't they be playing in QM to improve their skills before doing ranked? That's what I am going for here.
I remember seeing a bunch of posts of "Going from A- to D-" or so

GBO2 is a team game, if you get lucky with matchmaking, you can get carried to B at least even if you suck. and likewise, even if you're the best player in the world, if you get stuck on a crap team against a bunch who know how to chain stagger, you're dead anyways.

Honestly there isn't a difference between the two. At least not a significant enough to make one better than the other. It's still P2P and it's still all the same rates and rewards. I don't know what possesses people to think one is better than the other.

Penalty doesn't matter because you receive a penalty outside of fighting anything that's not an NPC and disconnecting. If you're working off penalty, maybe that works for you. But win or lose you're still going to be penalized evenly across the board.

Eliminating penalty can also be done through Quick Match, just not Custom Games or NPC fighting.

play space match in ranked and u will see how stupid it is than ground matchmaking,

I have roughly the same sortie times for rated and quick matches. I often stay in a rank for a week+ and only play quick & customs until I decided to do some ranked matches again.

on one hand, ranked means theoretically you will be fighting guys near your skill level but that's all optimistic and you can be matched with guys of another tier, i've been to a match where i'm the only d and everyone is at least a- (still have the screenshot lol)

on the other hand, yea ranked shouldn't be played by newbies/noobies because you are possibly ruining the game for the people actually trying to win/rank up.

tbh, the mmr is to blame for all of the problems but we can't change it.

man idk man idk but I hear the rewards a better with higher rankings bro you know what I mean like it's crazy bro like the higher rating you get the better rewards you know what I'm saying man

[Kaiser]

The reward when you get to higher rank is decent but not worth the amount of rage that you have to hold yourself back from trying to find where these mfs that are your teammates lives and smash the CPU over their heads because they are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

You need to play rated to lower penalty and there's a larger range of gamemodes to play in Rated.

[Sedated]

People tryhard more in quick matches. Rated is a more relaxed experience somehow.

The only way to get out of penalty. Otherwise, I would just do "A Win" battles

[Blitz]

same as others just trying to get out of a penalty jail.
