    Rank Games/ Rank system.

    There are tiers; each tier will have 5 divisions. Players will be placed in games according to what tier they are, so that the skills of all the players will not have big difference. To go to another tier you have to pass all 5 divisions, to pass the 4 first divisions, you have to get to 100 points, and after you get these points, you have to win the promotions, and you win the promotions by winning 2 out of 3 games. After you win the promotions, you will move to the next division, and when you finally get to the last and final division, you will have to get 100 points like the first 4 divisions, but you will have to win 3 out of 5 games to move to the next tier. But how do you get these points? You get them by winning games, and you lose them by losing games, each win will give 10-25 points, and each lose will cost you 10-25 points (depends on the tier and the division and the MMR). Also if you don’t have a tier yet, you will have to play 5 or 10 games, depend of how many did you win/lose, and what score you did, the game will put you in a tier. I don;t know what the name of the tiers will be (let me know down in the comments), but the divisions will be V-IV-III-II-I.

    I'm totally down with a ranking system like that, where winning and losing is all that matters. Although I would personally prefer it made similar to Halo 3's ranking system where you had 50 levels, and to gain a level you had to win a few games, but losing one or two games made you lose a level. When you saw a level 40-something, you knew they were good and when there was a level 50 in the lobby everyone would lose their sh!t.

    Just how I'd like it though. I'd rather have ranks/levels that updates regularly rather than feeling stuck in a division.

    I don't know if its a good idea, do you level up on Halo? Because I think they will add levels, so its better to use my system... because when you go to see profiels from players, you will see like Level 17/ Rank: Silver II(or something else), but with your idea, it will say Level 17/Rank: 25. The first one for me, is way better than the second one.

    I see what you mean. I personally don't like the Idea of being put in a division for a while but now that I think about it, both system are essentially the same. It just reminded me of actual division rankings where people would do bad on purpose in order to be put against worse players than them and then whipe the floor with everyone in matchmaking.

    I don't think people would do something like that, but anyway, maybe they will at some point, maybe because they lost the previous game,maybe because they got demoted to a lower division... so if they actually do something like that people from both teams can report him/her for assissting enemy team or something like that. So don't worry, everything will be fine.

    High Skilled / Ranked players play with low skilled/ranked players all the time. Depending on the game it could be as simple as joining a random group of low ranked players to "boost" their ranks by doing all the work for them or a group of high skilled players wanting to make a youtube video by making an alternate profile to play on to show how much better they are than noobs. That's not to say I'm not against ranked play, because I'd love ranked playlists (especially 1v1 so my pride can rise and fall), but there are "legitimate" ways for high skilled players to screw around with low ranked players. You can't report a good player for being better than you just because his teammates are low ranked or because he's playing on a different account.

    Actually, smurf accounts are usually not allowed in competitive games, so that would be something to report them for.

    A while back we looked at this.
    Smurf accounts are usually on free to play and cheaper games. For Honor, as far as I can tell, would come with a $60 price tag for a new account on PC.
    That may be a deterrent to most.

    You can't make more accounts, unless you buy the game several times. Also, if some player actually join with another player lower/higher rank than him, the MMR will drop unless they are at the same tier. Now the question is "That doesn't count because if some player is silver I (1) and his/her friend is gold V(5) their different is not that much", wrong, the MMR wont drop that much, but it will drop.

    That is probably true, the only thing i could say back to that is that For Honor is not gonna remain a 60 dollar game for ever,
