In no competition, does one’s rank reset every season.

So why does this happen in BGS. It’s like saying a pro football player and a middle schooler have the same experience because they’ve never played this season. I wish there was some permanence to the rank you achieve and can only go back down by losing. Then change “games won” objectives with “games played” so people are not incentivized to throw.

    A lot of games do this, Hearthstone would be the one that mirrors this most closely.

    Diablo 3 as well. You rebuild every Season.

    Football leagues have everyone in different leagues at the start of a new season, like AW does.
    A football cup competition is a free for all, everyone can be drawn against anyone. Battlegrounds is like this.

    yes, rankings do get reset and they should be reset every new season.

    Fair opinion, perfectly valid, but why do you think so? Back it up please
    Because rosters change, players leave the game, they don't deserve to take a spot up just cause they finished there last season, season metas or matchmaking gives unfair advantages like this last season ws had, jusf terrible!.

    Also, how would you move up if we kept our rank season after season and everyone's rosters changed?

    In the NBA, when the season starts, everyone has the exact same chance to get into the playoffs. The reigning champs do not get a free playoff spot. You earn what you get.

    Exactly. Imagine, whoever wins championship gets it given to them every new season cause that was their last season rank

    😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

    Do high school teams get put in the NBA at the start of each season?
    I am not much familiar with NBA, but I am sure there are bad teams and good teams, teams with different budgets, different levels of progression, different goals, past achievements.
    That's the example being used here. You have to be in the league to play, you can't bring in a hockey team and soccer and have them compete.
    Understand the analogy.

    In Pro football (and really in every sport I can think of including college sprts), every season begins with everyone at the same "rank", with the same record of zero wins and zero losses.

    Here's the thing, you cannot compare 2 different levels that are competing for different prizes.
    Does a cavalier have different prizes than a paragon in BG? No.

    So when the progression/rank resets at the START of every season, it is to give everyone the same footing. Competitions usually start with teams at zero points. F1?? EPL?? FIFA?? NBA?? BG??

    You're not thinking about matchmaking. It the matchmaking wasn't garbage then I'd have no issue with everyone starting at zero because the actual best players would quickly rise to the top.

    There could be a reduction each season. But maybe give the players that got further in the previous season a head start into the next season?

    And they do, that is what the victory track is for.
    If you are stuck in bronze, then that is probably where you belong.

    Matchmaking isn't perfect but it does not stop the good players from progressing.

    This is false equivalence. High School teams start off like all others, earning rank as they win

    This is wrong too, you are assuming officials that make the schedules are going to do the same thing kabam is doing

    In terms of high school examples, we do not have a 2A school match against a 6A school.

    Wrong.

    We are not playing a wrong or right game here.
    Have you considered that maybe people aren't good enough, in terms of either skill or mental strength or other attributes to progress further.

    Let's say you take my account and put me in Vibranium at the start of season or maybe Gamma 2, where I finished, where is the fun in that. What am I supposed to do rest of the season, count my thumbs.

    There's a huge difference between starting everyone at 0 and Starting people exactly where they left off the previous season and allowing them to earn all the rewards w/o having to play.

    **Range not difference.

    No one is arguing that If you reach Gamma one season then you get free Gamma rewards for ever w/o having to play.

    ok, I read through your posts again and this is what I got -

    1. Players should not start at 0
    2. Matchmaking isn't fair/good so players should start at a tier that is not bronze / where they finished last season.
    3. Players should not be given rewards for the tier that they will start at.

    Could you please help me understand - What is your proposal here?

    How is matchmaking affecting your progression?
