    Regarding 'Ranked restrictions'

    I hate to tell you, but you're the first person I have seen complaining about this. Sh*t happens you know, and for every lvl 20 unranked you get on your team, there might be a lvl 20 unranked on the other team too, it's not like Ubisoft is trying to screw you and only you... All I'm saying is that I think you might be overreacting since the scenario you're describing seems too unreal for me.

    I'm open for discussion, please feel free to reply and we can work this out, as it certainly is an interesting topic.

    I no longer play ranked so I can't get 'proof' that levels are ****, but when I used to play ranked it was basically silver teammates and plat enemies...
    if you look it up on YouTube you'll find it happening to other people as well if that's what you're after

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a bad time with ranked. I can pass along the feedback on minimum requirement levels to unlock ranked.
    I'm sure there's a reason that the ranked minimum requirement is level 20 and and not level 50 or 100 though, and hopefully I can help shed some light on it for you.

    And you might think 'well maybe you're the one that can't win if you're that bad', mate, when your teammates are bad it's like going 1v5...

    So yea my point is since the balance system is bad ranked should be level 100+
    So instead of asking for better matchmaking, you instead want to exclude players from an entire game mode?

    People have been asking for better matchmaking since season 1, but it's clearly not happening so there's no other solution other than that...

    Ok, but if they did that then there wouldn't be growth in the community and the game would die in the matter of a year and then wow no fun fps to play. dam i wish the community came back to siege...

    If you really wanna be competitive, don't solo queue, find friends. And if you really think Ubisoft never listens to community feedback then why are you here in this forum anyway? Give some constructive criticism or nothing at all. We have enough ragers in the community.

    Minimum lvl 100 would help against smurfs, too. It is rly annoying. Not just because beginners enter there and mess up the game for their team, but also because people abuse low ranked / low lvl accounts in their squads to affect the matchmaking to get easier enemies.

    Even on gold you still get matched with beginners as they queue together with higher ranked mates. It often results in a match that feels like a 4,5 vs 5 or even 4 vs 6. Not long ago I had a beginner on my team who destroyed my hibana charges not knowing what it is or even understanding what a reinforced wall is. Then there are those who shot own claymores, own drones, mirrors, reinforce between bombs or even kill their own team mates.

    A possible solution would be a "Beginners Bracket" especially for ranked untill you reach lvl 100 or are at least lvl 90 having a lvl 100+ in your squad (mechanic to keep friends that level with a different speed together once one player reaches the borderline lvl to regular ranked).
