There's been many many patches over the last couple of months making improvements to the ranked SCs, many of those based on player feedback from multiple active players in ranked SCs. I can assure you that isn't a sign of "issues are being ignored in a head-in-sand kind of way".Caduceus wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 10:48 am The sad thing is, players want Ranked to succeed and many (including myself) have been waiting for a game mode like this for a long time. Now the issues are being ignored in a head-in-sand kind of way, and the group of players who were interested in Ranked is rapidly shrinking. If, Khorne forbid, Ranked were to die, I am sure it would be blamed on the lack of a community or players not being up to the challenge. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if that were to happen, it is because serious issues were ignored. The interest is and has been there, it is just being extinguished by stubbornness.
Lets hope that I am wrong, and that the replies that this thread has garnered from the devs are not representative of their actual views on Ranked. Maybe they are working on solutions in the background, but their response to this thread hasn't been indicative of that.
At the moment we are in the middle of a season, so needless to say there's not going to be any big revamps of how the system works now. Those bigger revamps were done in the 1-2 months before the season started
