Why can't you guys just.. not be jerks, and make Big Team Battle ranked again? I know it has less of a following than Team Slayer and whatnot (what do you expect?) but making it unranked is NOT the answer. Ranked Big Team Battle: Pros - Players can be matched with other players who have similar skill levels (wasn't this the original idea in the first place that worked FINE?) People wouldn't quit as much due to losing rank People wouldn't screw around and hurt their own team's progress due to losing rank People usually have mics to communicate, which when regarding communication and teamwork, Big Team Battle is by far the gametype it's most necessary in. Cons - Longer time to matchmake a game. Unranked Big Team Battle: Pros - Shorter time to matchmake a game Cons - People quit CONSTANTLY since there is no ranking penalty People of VASTLY different skill levels are in the same game, leaving the good, experienced players screwed because their teammate doesn't know what to do with the enemy flag. If a person has guests playing with them, if that person quits, they ALL quit! So if one person doesn't feel like playing, 50% of some poor sap's team will desert them! For each guest, it's one less person who has a microphone, who can't communicate. This is a TEAM OBJECTIVE game, having a team that has no microphones cripples you from the start. Since there is no rank, people don't take BTB seriously, and so they commonly betray their own team Honestly, isn't this just common sense what I'm explaining here? Both of them have advantages and disadvantages, but logically, having a ranked BTB is far more sound than having unranked BTB. I'm a veteran of literally thousands of BTB games, and needless to say, I'm disappointed it's still unranked; merging it back from Big Team Slayer and Big Team Skirmish was a good move, but you have to make it ranked as well; I, along with I'm sure most others, would sacrifice a couple extra minutes of matchmaking searching for a better experience during the actual match.
