Adding ranks to Skywars or other PvP games. This would stop experienced players from teaming up and easily defeating newer players by adding an experience barrier. Unlike other suggestions, this would likely not affect matchmaking as much. It would be simple yet effective.
My idea is that ranks would be determined by your player level, which is already a feature. Your rank would also be displayed in the Skywars lobby beside your nametag. A player on the highest rank could not join a match with a player on the lowest rank. Your rank would increase every ten levels and would not decrease. You could play with players up to two ranks higher or lower than yours, to make matchmaking easier.
This feature would be installed mainly for players who would like to enjoy the game, players who are new to the game, players who aren’t good at PvP, and players who win too easily.
Please give me your thoughts!
No, just no. It will affect matchmaking, no matter how much anyone says it won’t. If you remember when Bridge had skill matchmaking, it almost died. While sure, this isn’t as limited, it still causes lobbies to become more empty.
In addition, you can’t go down in rank? Then that just forces everyone to only move up. Remember, level ≠ skill. Same goes for rank with this logic. Just because I play a lot does not mean I’m good at the game.
Next, this just leads to an inevitable death of Skywars. Most players will level up with enough play, only leaving randoms or noobs to play in the first level. That is, if they survive hackers, who will just keep making alts that all start at level one (lowest rank.) That just means that players will get mad at the game and most will quit, since they haven’t got a really good game of Skywars. As for high level players, they don’t want to play other sweats! As a level 167 in Bedwars, I will almost always requeue if I see someone my level range or higher. This will remain for Skywars.
Finally, no prestige? You want to REMOVE PRESTIGE? Do you know how many players will riot? That’s stopping so many players from wanting to sell play, and you will be left off with 1000 players rather than the 1200 because the good players will leave. That’s just from this alone…
So no. I don’t want to be rude about any of this, but everytime someone suggests something like this, the same thing happens. It’s sadly just not something that I’d ever want to see happen.
