It's been 4 years. FIX RANKED ALREADY.

[Whisky]

I want to play ranked so I can get fair matches and stop getting stomped by plat and gold smurfs in unranked. But I'm not touching Ranked with a 10 foot pole until Ubisoft disbands matches that don't start with all 10 players, and lessens the mmr loss for losing with less than 5 players (perhaps 25% mmr reduction bonus per player missing on your team). Too many times I've heard horror stories of 1v5s or 2v5s before the ban phase even finishes.

Stop matches from starting without all 10 players. Double or triple mmr loss penalties for those who leave mid match. This is not rocket science. This is supposed to be the most competitive game mode in your game so do it right.

They can't do much about smurfs.

Matches that don't start with all 10 players are an issue, but this is because people leave the match or cancel matchmaking in the very last second. Not much can be done but issue penalties, the double or triple mmr would upset people, but it would be good.

The mmr system is wonky, and I agree with lessening the penalty of having less players.

HOWEVER, as much as I agree with your ideas, fixing the game isn't that hard. Coding a game can be very hard, especially considering the spaghetti code siege has, thus coding in an match cancellation system can be difficult. A potential bug that would arise would be that people who were apart of cancelled matches could suffer from mmr loss. This is also ignoring the fact that no matter how well they fix ranked, or how good they make it, someone will complain.

Ranked isn't terrible as it is, and demanding for ubi to fix it without providing the solution is a little bit hypocritical.

The reason that it's harder to ensure that all 10 people connect as opposed to CS:GO is because there is no warm-up phase. Having something similar to a warm-up phase in ranked would be very awkward to implement, and nobody wants to sit on a menu waiting 2 minutes for a "warm-up" to end.

A grace-period could be implemented like what's in Overwatch. If a user disconnects within the first 2 minutes of the match, the match is cancelled and the player is punished.

The thing, it would have to be a full-on disconnect (I think). I'm pretty sure you have a decent amount of time to join back before you are removed.

They could also make it a vote, but that would be open to trolls of all sorts. For example, if somebody disconnects, it needs 3 out of the 4 remaining players to vote yes to end the game. Otherwise, the game continues as normal. If the game continues, the team with less players could have a chance to gain more MMR for winning.

This is an issue the team is investigating currently. I apologize for the negative experience and can understand it can be quite frustrating and unfair to you.
