About Ranked Mode

Hello everyone, as many of us know, R6 Siege X has been released and made free-to-play. However, it’s not entirely free. Only casual modes, such as quick play, are free. To access ranked modes, players are required to upgrade their accounts with a one-time fee. Of course, this upgrade was given for free to old R6 players because they had already purchased the game.

Also CS:GO, now called CS2, has the same system, where you need to pay a one-time fee for “Prime Status” to access ranked modes.

This system should also be implemented in OW2, as it would be a big step in the fight against smurfing and cheaters. Of course, it wouldn’t be a 100% solution, but it would help significantly. OW1 players should receive it for free, but players who start with OW2, those who don’t own OW1 should be charged a one-time fee of at least $20. Of course, this upgrade should be offered as a bundle that includes 1000 OWC and an Epic Tier special skin.

I believe ranked modes should be separated from free and made paid. What do you think it should be like?

No thanks. This would be a good idea if they didn’t false ban 30% of the community and resort to bans instead of just silencing the account longer and longer.

They will also not do it because it’ll cut the playerbase in half, and queue times are going to get even worse.

I recently got to GM4 and what do I get for it? 17-20 minute queue estimated, in practice I got 30+ minutes before giving up.

It could help, yes, but It’s too late for this now.
If they wanted to this, it needed to be done during OW2 release.
Right now it would create a massive sh*tstorm.

Queue times are long enough as is. We need the free to play kids.
