Change the rank system?

I don't see the purpose of the current ranking system.

IMO a ranking system should be in the game to display either skill or dedication to a game.

The current system does display "dedication" because to get red rank 1 you need to play for a set amount of hours each month. HOWEVER, the ranks of yourself and the other players are not displayed in the end game lobby. I know they were in the past just not now for some reason?

So what's the point of getting red rank if it is just a metric to show yourself how much time you spent in the game each month? Steam does that for you... 1 mil blood points is easy to gain and if you are red rank each month you more than likely don't even need the reward. Couldn't the reward be shards or a unique trinket each month also couldn't there be a history of your rankings for the year?

Also since I honestly see no point in the ranking system why not overhaul it to be like other games with ranking systems with MMR? say MMR goes up to 2000 then if you are MMR 1500-2000 you are red rank, if 1000-1500 you are gold? This would give a gauge on the level of your skill and give motivation to get better?

  • FYI “ranks” aren’t even shown on the endgame screens any more. Nobody sees your rank but you.
