This game was very fun... until Operation Phantom Sight, especially the ranked mode. They worked on some fancy graphics and ranked "guide" but this season is still an absolute mess. Now, I don't claim to be a platinum-level player, but I still extremely disappointed what happened this first few weeks of Phantom Sight. So many bugs and glitches first of all, and no deployable shields. Then there were ranked leavers or auto-clickers. During my placements, at least 3 games there was one person who just joined the game, left, and never came back. There were also games were someone clicked a button for crouching, or their gadget button, or whatever key, but they were clearly using a macro or an autoclicker to keep themselves from getting kicked. Then there were the actual ranks. This season, I won seven of my ten placement matches, and I fragged at least 4 each game (except for one) I even had a 10 kill game, (which was a 4v5 loss), so I was expecting a decent rank at least. Keep in mind that I purposely solo queued all my placements. So, I was extremely disappointed when I received Gold IV, the same rank I had last season. Last season, I had gotten Gold and dropped to low Bronze, which ostensibly affects my rank this season. This is a stupid feature. I knew I sucked at the game, so I played a ton of t hunt and CSGO aim_botz to improve my skill. It paid off, as I feel much more confident in-game, but I still don't comprehend why the ranked system is the way it is. Supposedly, kills don't matter, mostly only wins count towards your rank. I don't understand this, because the ranked system is supposed to show an individual's SKILL, not their luck in getting good teammates, bad enemies, or having good friends to play with. Alright, so I got Gold IV, so what? I kept playing ranked. But then their came the bugs. The first couple of games I played, I won and lost one each, so I was back to square one. Then I got matched up against a bunch of smurfs (which is another reason that I think kills should count more towards your rank, because the smurfs would get the high rank they deserve, even if they lose the match on purpose, or leave the match to drop elo, which is even more annoying) and dropped to Silver. Then, FOUR GAMES IN A ROW, I crashed or once, my WiFi had issues. Each time, I did not abandon on purpose like some people, but I still lost my rank, and ended up back in Bronze (yay!). Ubisoft needs to work on fixing the ranked system so that kills count more, and adding more punishment (only a ten-minute ban for abandoning) for people that actually deserve it. I think they should try to implement a VAC/Overwatch system like in CSGO, where an AI does some work to ban blatant cheaters, but other less obvious reported cases go to either Ubisoft employees, or like in the case of CSGO, to the community. In this way, with a human looking at report cases, they will be able to catch the macro users, etc. In the end though, I just want Ubisoft to pay more attention to fixing the game, instead of adding fancy features that don't really matter. In the end, I don't really care about my rank, I just want to have a fun experience playing this game that I enjoy.
