Warfare ranked system is ridiculous

[Zineec]

I have a great game and do 1000 score/min, so I got +30 Merit, great! Now, in the next game, I did well, I got a 700 score/min, which is still a good match, and I ended up 7th in my team out of 32 players, and got a -12 Merit. And that's not the worst! Now that I am on a streak of average 600-ish score/min, just getting anything over 600 score/min gets me positive Merit.
Whose rot brain thought this was a proper ranked system? And how does that get to the point that is incorporated into the game and becomes the actual system?

You need more and more Score per minute to rank up.

At general you need 750+/800 near the end to get points and not lose points.

Your score per minute and also the points you get is effected by the lenght of the match also.

your overal score does not mater. only the SPM.

You also get bonus merit if you win or joined an ongoing match.

I farmed out Marhsal the last 3 ranks of General is Brutal. had to finish many matches with 900+ and even 1100 SPM to get some real progress. had to abuse all the systems i could.

If your not a crazy CoD Sweat then you need to cheese everything like playing medic and vyron on Shafted and kamikaze in with magnetic bombs and camping/capture flags with vehicles and put spawn beacons down for extra points at those flags or your not gonna get those numbers.

And thats why i disabled ranked to have fun and not sweat my ass of just to score points.

Operations merit is as ridiculous. Best part is that they changed it mid season so those who played a lot early, got all the ranks easily -.-

Don't worry about rank it means nothing.

ah thanks for this, this saves me lots of time, wanted to make it to marshall but seeing this just too much hassle I'm always top 3 in my team, still average only 700/800 spm, having to be at 900/1000+ is a bit too much, I still want to enjoy the game.

you can gain progress with 750+ it just slows down allot. with 750 you gonna get around +6 merit in general 1.

Also there will be soon a double ranked point Event in a few days.

The Merit is based on your account Average Score Per Minute! lets say you have an Average of 450 spm you gain merits with 10-15% higher game spm. everything under you loose or go straight even. doesnt matter if you kill 150 players or 10


so if you want to earn. have games over your average spm.

Hmm, not sure if this is true. As my average SPM isn't that high. Like 650, but it was taking around 800 per game not to get negative merit by the end there.. The duration co-efficient also matters of course. If it's at a low percentage, it takes more SPM to go positive. Like 750 SPM at a duration co-efficient of 60% meant I would lose points. 750 SPM at a duration co-efficient of 120% meant I'd gain merit.

Also, I personally played KotH with my high level vehicles with their anti-vehicle loadouts. If it was a good match, it'd be pretty easy to get 1000-1200 SPM (each vehicle kill being worth 5-8x player kills). Only matches I went negative on merit at General 1 through 5, were matches where all my vehicle kills were being stolen all game (it can happen sometimes), or matches where a 4 man squad takes both the Helis and dominates your whole team all game. But this is coming from someone who already has all their vehicles at lvl 10 except the Helis and the ATV though. I would not recommend the more vehicle oriented meta of KotH to people with un-leveled vehicles.

edit: Yeah, I just checked the global leaderboard as well and the match history of second place (cause 1st hid their match history). Second place's profile says their average SPM is 1200, but they were gaining merit at Marshal 16900 merit with matches that only had 1000 SPM. Marshal capping out at requiring close to 800 SPM to gain positive merit.

[Radious]

I think simply removing negative merit would be fine. Better you do more positive you gain, but you dont get punished by not sweating 100% of the time.

farming rank is quite easy if you know what to do. when in game you press tab and check on left side there is 4 medals. combat, intelligent, capture, support. make sure you get all 4 medal in gold. dont ask how if you play more than 5 hours already you know how to get them. for me at the start of match i always pick recon class, then use their ulti to mark enemy location. usually using recon ulti 2-3 times you got intelligent gold medal. after that i switch to medic class, drops ammo and revive teammates 6-7 times gave you medic gold medals. the rest capture and combat you basically just need to get to the objective capture/defending it and kill any enemy you found. the class is up to you depends on your playstyle and maps location. i usually goes with assault or medic. play 3-5 match each day since release and i already marshall 10 days ago

The reason for that is that ranked is actualy NOT a ranked mode. They will be changing its name in the next season.

Yeah, mistranslation they said. It's more of a "points mode" than it is a ranked mode.
