Remove Unranked


Recommended Posts

I will play whichever mode has pips rewards tbh, would fully move to unranked if they took pips there - but this will probably not happen so yes I wouldn't also mind to put everyone from unranked in ranked.

It would mean however only custom arenas and tournaments would support 5-people premade teams, which would surely stir up a lot of people (watch how quickly a few "top" players cry when removing DuoQ is suggested). having no unranked and two ranked queues (one working exactly as unranked does now, even including stronghold, leading to two separate leaderboards) with pip prizes might be one of the few feasible ideas to "remove" unranked.

It is a hot take. But the problem is that it's pvp and nothing ever changes. This game mode is amber and cmc is the mosquito stuck inside it. But we don't even get dinosaurs. Just disappointment.

Unranked; The twilight zone for the royal vampires, laying in wait for the moon to ascend the golden offpeaks of silvaria, signaling the beggining of the feast to end all feasts in this bronze age of kitten poor MMR. Some say vampires can't eat other vampires, I say, lets give it a try? After google translating the great wars 1 manuscripts that survived "the fire", there is hope: Vampires will only feed on other vampires as a last resort

Ranked 5-man queue was removed because at the time, there were actually many organized "professional teams" that competed for spots at the world tournament.

People that weren't on those teams couldn't win, and therefore decided it wasn't worth playing ranked. In an effort to keep the e-sports dream alive, duoQ was introduced to give the non-pros hope and keep them queuing.

Forcing people back to (essentially) ranked 5q  won't work, because it didn't work before and the community hasn't changed in the direction that would support such a decision.

Pips were a later decision to increase rewards for ranked queue to try to get people back into ranked once the population died even more. Moving that to unranked will give nobody a reason to go into ranked unless they want titles. That would bleed the last of the serious pvp community dry, and give anet even less of a reason to manage the spvp mode than they have now.

there's already no reason to play ranked if you don't want titles, the other reason is match quality in unranked is even worse than ranked.

the pve players all left to farm obsidian armor, the players left either don't care about legendary armor, already have it or at least have all the timegated mats to craft it.

the reason to move the rewards to unranked is to maybe make it more attractive to pve players and end this lame excuse to "want to play with friends" from old players since the rewards would be exactly the same without getting an unfair advantage by playing offhour qdodging and so to get higher in leaderboards

I mostly agree. Just remove unranked and only allow solo q. Then schedule many more AT's so that there's one every hour for the 5 mans. Also have weekly AT's.
