Removing the marketplace in itself is a controversial decision, especially when you note that a lot of people have A LOT of R6 points currently sat in “buy orders” within the marketplace that they’re still yet to see return to them.

Pair that with the fact that collections moving forward will now be locked to only being purchasable with R6 points, not renown, at all, is disgusting.
Not only does it remove the desire to farm renown, but the fact that they’ve done it in the name of account security is vile.
They’re justifying making every collection worth around £80, REAL MONEY, as a form of account protection is CRAZY.

Not really much else to say other than that Ubisoft are absolutely disgusting for doing this.

I’m a huge hater of ranked 3.0. It doesn’t even make sense for starters.
“We’re giving you a brand new ranked system to move on from 2.0 because we know there was issues with it.”
Meanwhile they decide to soft reset everyone’s rank and have your new 3.0 rank directly pull from the last few seasons of your ranked 2.0 rank. So for those who hit champ in 2.0 despite not being good enough to be one, congrats even if you lose all your placements, you’re getting placed in emerald.
Meanwhile anyone who was peak gold but manages to win all 5 placements, unlucky, you’re in silver.

Oh and what happens if your silver friend plays in your emerald lobbies? They’ll lose more elo than you for a loss, and equally they’ll then gain less elo than you for a win. There is literally NO upside to playing with your higher rank friends. It makes ranking up such a horrible grind for low rank players even if they perform well and have just been rolled by the horrible placement games system.

My constructive feedback, because apparently this post needs it: It should’ve been a hard reset.
Have the placement matches actually mean something, but give us 10 of them.
Have placement matchmaking be entirely win/loss ratio dependant.
Of my win loss is at 30%, I should be coming up against another squad of similar %. That way if someone keeps losing their games, they’ll have an opportunity to win once they come up against someone of roughly their skill. Equally, if they’re losing all their games, it’s likely because they’re a low rank player, which would allow the placements to accurately decide where said low rank player should be. Are they copper, are they bronze etc…
Similar for the high rank players, if someone by some miracle wins all 10 games despite coming up against players who also have a 100% win rate, put them RIGHT at the top. Put them emerald, maybe even put them in diamond straight off the bat, because it would be such an insanely difficult task, that chances are the only people who have done this are pro stacks.

I’m aware this system means that for anyone who isn’t an elite player would have an absolutely rancid time in their placement games for at least a few of the games because they’d have at least one game where they’d likely play a stack SIGNIFICANTLY better than theirs. But that’s literally the point of placement games, it’s a skirmish to the top, where everyone is battling it out to see where they can put themselves to start the season. It literally shouldn’t be easy.
If you can’t tolerate losing in ranked, you shouldn’t be playing ranked, it’s a high jeopardy game mode.

Anyways, there are A NUMBER of other issues I have with siege at the moment, but I think ranked 3.0 is largely viewed by many as really well executed, and I simply don’t agree with it.
Please feel free to let me know your thoughts, I’ve had this debate at length with a few people in the community now so keen to know what others think.
