364 shootieboats Members 1,726 posts 14,962 battles Report post #5 Posted October 22, 2015 Tier IV-V Ranked battles would be terrrrrrrrrible. It would completely shift to DD/CV gameplay. There is no AA at that tier that can even hope to match a halfway competent CV, and it would be 2-3 Minekazes per team sending a continuous stream of torps in all directions. VI-VII is far and away the most balanced two tier spread in the game, because most of the ships have a purpose. Obviously not an Aoba, Mutsuki, or tier VI CV, but the rest of the ships can all hang and all have their uses in ranked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flags are great, but they're not enough drive for a lot of people. If there was port slots, doubloons, credits, XP, or dare i dream, a free ship at the top rank (even if it was a seal clubbing tier 2 or something) then people would i think be a lot more interested in it. For me it's my most enjoyable game mode. I love the no-nonsense brawling that goes on in ranked.. that is, whenever i can get in a game which is never.

364 shootieboats Members 1,726 posts 14,962 battles Report post #8 Posted October 22, 2015 wait more terrible than the current terrible? Or a new kind of terrible? I honestly don't know what people think was so terrible about it. I had a blast in Ranked before I ranked out. The games are infinitely better than Random. It just needed a bigger player base, and they need to combine the brackets so there are only 3 levels instead of 4 to help reduce queue times for the playerbase we do have. And there are ways to do that, if anyone from WG wanted suggestions some of us do have them to help the next season run more smoothly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played Ranked to 15.. then couldn't get in a damn game under 15 minutes. Stopped and haven't gone back to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
