Has anyone considered that maybe elo is the problem, and not giving us 8 ranked servers and 15 500 tc tourney servers?

Anyways, as everyone agrees, matchmaking can solve every issue in our current ranking system.

-No long wait in tourneys
-Better competition between players
-Players get set up in matches against players of similar skill
-Impossible to farm
-Adds a sense of randomness to the game
-Reduces newbie streakers
-Best out of 3 prevents "lucky" wins
-Forcepingers will receive an infraction point every time they fping.
-Rage quitters will be banned for 12 hours with an additional infraction point.
-Possible to allow people to view your match without being in the game (much like csgo and rocket league).
-Players that are at higher ranks will throughly be more deserving of the rank they are at.

Fun suggestions:

- Ranking Profile:
Highest Rank Finish: #
Highest Rank Defeated: #
Average Season Ranking Finish: #

^ something like that on your usercard instead of useless stuff

Take out ranks all together and create leagues or divisions bronze, silver, gold etc. etc. and allow you to only play in the room which you're leagued in gg.


vvvv

"Find Match" button, you wait until another person of your rank grouping is also searching for a "Find Match" when a opponent is found you get a pop-up "Fight Found, Join?" (This way you can be playing in a unofficial server if wait times are long) then you're whisked away into a private room (server auto-sets a room which is in one of the pre-chosen mods that are being decided on for competitive rn) YOU FIGHT YOUR MATCH AND THEN ITS OVER. GG rinse repeat

It's a good idea to try to make ranks work, but removing the system that people are already used to and somewhat like (it does work in general, but it's exploitable) is a bad idea.
Why not have the old and the new system?
Eitherway, fix quickly.
