BTW it depends on what kind of changes they will made. If they will change completely the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanics of the game they will probably reset ranks.
In T7, they were doing a soft rank reset on every new season, by lowering everyone's rank by 1 color, so if you were Blue, you'd be lowered to Ruler.
Honestly, they need to rework the ranked system to a pure ranked system, not all these hidden metrics, do the huge balance patch that happens at every start of the season, and then do a complete rank reset, everyone back to the starting line.
Ofc, that's what I meant with "pure ranked system", so the "you can't demote until X rank" and the hidden streak bonuses are gone.
We have people in the Red/Ruler ranks who are there only because everyone actually starts at Yellow, and that also needs addressing, otherwise, there's no point in resetting the ranks.
This was done for engagement. Not for competitive functionality, not for QoL.
They want casuals to feel good. But it has backfired I think. Because now all the players who legit should be yellow or orange/red in 7 are now all pumped into purple and blues in 8.
Most of the casuals have left. So now, only people who care are still playing on this dumb ranked system.
The fact that streaks are negatively affected by plugging, as well as the streaks leading to completely random situations where you lose once but are plugged on twice leads to further point loss is still a mystery to many.
It's simply stupid.
It ruins integrity and makes playing online a chore if you care at all about a jpeg.
The best advice I can give is to play lobbies, quickmatch and ignore ranked until we see what happens in season 2.
