R.I.P. Ranked borders?

[Eyebrows_눈썹]

What do you guys think about the borders representing your rank, being taken away in OB68 ?

[★ Bartes ★]

Meh... I dont care.

It's not taken away completely. It appears in loading screen.


From notes:
There will no longer be portrait frames indicating current ranked division.
At the end of the season, if you win 200 Ranked games, you will be awarded a loading screen Frame that represents your highest division achieved during the season.


This means that if you want a Ranked frame, you have to play long enough and hard enough to earn the highest rank you can. Which is then displayed on the loading screen.

This ensures that there is far less crying about Ranks and the matchmaking,etc. Yes, it will take a bit of time for the levels to play out, but it will dissipate the noise and gnashing of teeth that occurs now.

It's super fu*ked up. You can't see anyone's rank and you can buy XP with gold. Meaning you can play with let's say lvl 5 master pip or a lvl 100 cassie unranked noob. It's so gonna be super hard to figure out who you can rely on in your team, and who to be scared of in the enemy team.

[Nefser]

Yep. Learn in the match.

But guess what...they don't know EITHER. Scary, eh?

Well, unless you team with people you know/trust/have seen play before. Which means this could be another way for HR to try to push people to team a bit more often. Who knows?

[TheLittleOne]

I don't really like that. It's hard to tell who you're matched up against now or with. At least it provided some sort of way to predict skill level.

Rank Frames = another Harassment tool

Completely agree. I got harassed to switch away from Skye because I'm not ranked by a plat because I'd "lose them the match by feeding." To spite him, I just followed him around protecting his back and had the HIGHEST score I'd ever pulled and we won clutch push because the enemy had to scatter or die on Skye's bomb right at the end. (To which they died because they can't run AND fight back at the same time.)

Edit: Also about 30 hours total game time at this point.

I want it back..

[SaitoMaxi]

I think I'm be blind but Is there anyway to change loading frames? I got the Ascension Frame and I don't want to lose it if I ever get 200 wins in Ranked.

[Cuddly rat]

Ah now those noob diamonds and master who got carried by others and who flames at their low ranked teammates for no reason can shut the ♥♥♥♥ up.

High rank border feeds player's ego and makes them toxic towards low rank players.

Good move by hirez.It will make game a little more peaceful.

[Ripshot Blue]

I didnt even care for ranked till now since it actually feels rewarding to play ranked more now
