Hey r/globaloffensive,
I've been around for quite some time, but this is my first post at trying to contribute in a great way for the community.
It's been several months now that the ranks shuffle has had an effect, causing everybody to rank up at an insane pace, and even in most of the cases, too much. This causes players' rank to be off compared to what they are really worthing (for example, have seen supremes aiming at the floor, etc.). On the other side, as we all know, people love smurfing, because it's fun for them and all that.
We can clearly see the MM ranks system as of now is not perfect, and could surely be modified in favor of its healthiness.
My idea is to reset the ranks, for everyone, periodically (let's say 40 days ?), in a way so that it'd behave like the first ranking games for an account.
"But, how would that be beneficial in any way ? People are gonna lose their progression ! They'll stop playing !
Let me put it that way : what we need for proper matchmaking ranks is consistency. It's simple, if you can't be consistent at a rank, why would you stay there ? Your teammates are penalised, enemies get ranked up easily, making them be in the wrong rank, which is in fact a chain side-effect.
If you're consistent enough, you'll restart where you were previously, and if not, you'll get ranked down, until you are at a rank that fits you. That'd be preferable with 3 as the number of wins to get reranked, not too high, not too low, which makes things go quite accurate.
That's my suggestion, please DO leave feedback, so we can all see how community goes with that.
I wish you a good day !
