I’m kinda on the fence with this. I’m 150, decent Pred and a french fry FT (not quite potato), and I’d hate to be stuck with people the same level as me because my skill level wouldn’t reflect my in-game. I’d probably be happy playing FT with some people who actually know how to play, but as a Pred…oof.
I’d rather have a stat counter, as someone else mentioned. I honestly want to know my W/L stats for both sides since I’ve been playing.
If Turtle rock studios could add a ranked mode to Evolve then I don’t see why Illfonic wouldn’t be able to add a ranked mode to this game.
Ranked sucks in asymmetrical games because they’re balanced around only half the team being competent.
Wait, Evolve had ranked? You’re kidding… I never got to see it even though I played on ps4 til the very end
Yeah rank was the mode where they only let you get to stage 2
Yeah, they had a ranked mode. There’s videos on Youtube of people playing it.
cries in the corner
I think there should be some way to match up against more seasoned players.
Killing potatoes, on either side, is not very fun.
Maybe not based on previous data, but going forward a skill based system that can keep the sweats together and casual players together.
Take DBDs player system. More you play and better you are, higher ranks.
You a casual, you stay in the casual pool.
It amazes me how to this day people go into illfonic’s stream to ask stupid questions like “why are pred queues so high?”
Is fucking basic math. You have 5 players on each match. 80% of them are FT 20% of them is Pred. If more than 20% of active players queue up for pred, pred queue will go up. As simple as that.
Now imagine, with the player base so small as it is now, with a lot of them turning crossplay off and most of them wanting to play pred… just imagine how queue times will be unplayable if you introduce a ranked mode that will further divide players.
Don’t you ever talk about math in my presence again!!
The nerve!!
Yeah and every time you lose in rank your actual rank decreased… so playing with ranoms in rank was hit or miss more miss than anything…
Ranking up in evolve was a nightmare. Could care less about rankings. Rather have a more smooth game then whoes better than who
And FT is only really entertaining if you’re hanging out in a discord and chatting with friends. Illfonic’s biggest problem with this game is that they didn’t make FT entertaining enough with missions/etc… Obviously people want to play as Pred in a Predator game, but with 80% of the players needing to play as FT they really needed to put in a lot more work into making the FT experience more fun to entice people.
Not in a million years.
No benefit at all. Keep it fun as it is. Sometimes you melt people, sometimes you get melted. Sometimes everyone lives, and sometimes everyone dies.
Dead by daylight has always had a ranked mode (its only mode actually). It has never meant any benefit for anyone whatsoever, and is a source of frustration and divisiveness instead.
And just imagine the queue times at Pred Rank 1…
Short answer… that’s a full nope
To solve that problem, when Pred queues reach (let’s say) more than 8 minutes, perhaps they could use the same system as in F13th… you queue with a preference, but will spawn as any side.
Obviously the game detects if you’re in a party, and will force a FT spawn in such case.
i like the idea
I’d love to get a scoreboard or a leader board of some sort. But with the not so huge playerbase I’d say I’m fine without the ranked mode.
So you want to stay 20minutes for finding 4fireteam in level 150 ?!
No Thx
Or you want to stay 8minutes to find a Good Pred with high rank ?!
No Thx XD
Might tear the playerbase apart but fuck it I don’t want to fight preds that don’t know how to pull out, they probably have a lot of kids
I mean at the very least pair by level at first then at 150 pair by W/L statistics in 2 weeks you’d see match quality improve dramatically
