WHATS THE POINT OF RANKED????

[Reconnecting I'm lagging]

bro what's the point of ranked if you play against any rank. like so many marshall played my match even though I'm that "silver" rank in other game. so many sweats roaming around

[fabulicious.]

There is no ranked. It's mixed with the unranked and ranked players. If you tick that "ranked" box from the menu, you only get better rewards and additional rank. You join same matches, ranked or not. Not sure whats inside devs head lol, nothing.. except eyes probably..

It doesn't really seem to do anything other than give cosmetics and progression. The only reason to have it off is because you can lose points at the higher ranks if you perform poorly (less Score per minute). As doing challenges for each character can often involve tasks that make you play sub-optimally.

For example the "Calling in streaks 30 times" challenge that appears at lvl 7, it just encourages the player to spam 12 smoke barrages in a match rather than 1 guided missile that could potentially save the game.

that's why. 32 vs 32 ranked just sound impossible

Exactly

The only difference is, when you pick ranked you get rated [Get Points, lose Points]. Everything else is the Same.

So you could possible get a 4 Squad where 2 dosnt use Ranked, and the other two are Seargent 1 and Corpell 4.

so your rank wont go down if you lose, you'll lose a lot of rank points in high elo if you lose. so if you just want to have fun without losing your rank uncheck the rank option

High elo? There is no ranked at all in this game.

i believe turning on the "ranked" mode on sends the SBMM into overdrive, especially when you reach colonel or higher. You start to find more matches with absolute sweatlords and even some cheaters.

The devs said that there is no difference in the queue but considering they lied about the SBMM, i wouldnt be surprise if they also lied about the Ranked thing,

The thing is they didn't have to lie. They didn't say there was no SBMM. They said there wasn't any SBMM in ways people are imagining it, the kind that forces you to a 50-50 w-l ratio. As that probably isn't the point of their skill based matchmaking.

So it's probably more so if you're checking that ranked box, you're trying to earn more score per minute. SPM as it's called. And when you do that, you are increasing your SPM average each match compared to when you're playing casually in unranked. There is probably matchmaking in place whether you're in ranked or not that is deciding to put you in lobbies based on how much SPM you are earning. Which means when you're trying to rank up in Warfare, you're going to face better people by proxy (as they are also trying to get higher SPM) even if you're in the same queue as you would be with unranked.

But that's just how I think it works.
