Ranks in games have become easy to achieve and carry absolutely NO MEANING!!!! Back when I first started gaming competitively it meant something to be a 40 or higher in H2 and it was fun to have your 50 in H3 and you felt bad if you didn't have it even though it was only matchmaking... As a gaming community communication has completely dropped out of the picture. It's no longer "cool" to play with a mic. This is largely due to the fact that ranking is given based purely on game time and time played. Back in H2 and H3 rank was earned and when you played you were always matched up with higher level skill to have real competition almost EVERY game! Nowadays you get good games every once in a while because ranks are NOT SKILL BASED!!! Not to mention the fact that you can't lose your rank!!!! If the ranking structure was geared more towards skill and you had to win to level up and the better you did the higher xp you would achieve it would fix a lot of those issues! People would be forced to talk and put in a mic to communicate, ranks would once again mean something, matchmaking would once again be fun to play because you would actually be challenged more often, people would be less likely to quit as often, and this game would flourish!!!! Please leave feedback on what you think but this is by far my biggest hope for this game!
