BHVR: Increase Ranks and remove Rank Reset
Rank 1 - 20 may sound pretty good, but in reality it's not. Increasing the number of the possible ranks, should also put players in a region where they really belong. This would also help with matchmaking. So new players wont be crushed. Increase ranks either to 1-50 or even better 1-100. Having a higher rank system will give players a much more better experience, then they may have now.
And remove the stupid rank reset. It's never fun, as you either get potatoes or really good players. Getting at rank 1 is currently not that challenging.

The only thing they should add is devotion playing an active (yet secondary) role in matchmaking: first the game finds you all games available at your rank, then matches you with someone around your same devotion (different tiers: from lvl 1 to 99, from lvl 101 to 199, and so on, till from lvl 401 to everything onwards).
Ranks 1-20 isn't bad, and generally you can tell what skill level someone's in with just those ranks. Ranked reset can go to hell though. I'd much rather we had ranked decay instead. Reset doesn't make any sense and only messes with the ranking system.
@Atrushan88 Not just the monthly resets, but also the deranking without any sort of punishment.
Only Behavior would create a ranking system that then also serves as their matchmaking algorithm, and in addition to asinine monthly resets, also then allows players to derank themselves without repercussions and thereby completely gimmick and abuse the matchmaking.
I promise you that had a system like this been turned in as a Game Design class project, it would have received a failing grade because it utterly fails to do what it was designed to do. Yet Behavior released it commercially and appears proud of it.
