Bomb only Ranked could be the end for me.. | Forums

There's absolutely no way they will add secure back to ranked sorry people. Maybe a separate playlist? But nothing anytime soon is guaranteed

I personally think all 3 game modes should be in the mix. They each require very different strategies, which makes it more challenging and fun.

The only way for change is if we don't let this die down.

Personally I am a big fan of Hostage, as it was in the beginning during the E3 reveal.

Nothing quite as exciting as racing for the exit with hostage in tow during a 5v1 when the whole enemy team went out roaming!

Hostage rarely ever came up for me, even though I had all game modes enabled. It seemed to get a little boost in popularity during the Lesion glitch, but that was only because people wanted to try the cheat. After that got fixed I think I played maybe a half dozen games of Hostage since.

But secure was much more common. Not quite 50/50, but close. And now that I think back I think I prefer Secure. Always nice to be the guy who sneaks into the obj when everyone else is roaming or engaged and steal the win even though it's 4v1 at the end. That's why I liked Gridlock so much. He traxs could really slow down the people running back to obj enough to win. Bomb defusing takes to long, so they're not really super effective on bomb, but on Secure they can win the round.

I have been playing since year two off and on. One thing that always brought me back was the simple game mode of secure. You didn’t have to be an expert in the map and you could play well with random teammates. I always turned off bomb and hostage in preferences since I enjoyed it more. I guess my point is that there was no reason to take secure out. If u want to be a competitive bomb player then change your settings. Why take something out that made many people happy?

As a solo player.(because can't find 4 players that are not kids and/or toxic) I played secure area. because that's the game mode that requires the less amount of teamwork.. basically 2 players are enough.. But in bomb it requires a full team at least min. 4... And that is never going to happen with randoms..

And I don't play casuel. because I don't wanna start in the middle of a game and I don't wanna play yarth and that brazil map.. And I don't wanna play ranked. because I don't wanna ruin my season..

I tried playing ranked on test servers.. but they are dead apparently.. anyways I not going to wait 20min for at match. or how ever long it might take..

FIX MATCHMAKING: PREVENT BOOSTING. by ranking all in a squad BY THE HIGEST RANK
ADD PLAYER TOGEHTER BY LVL. Instead of rank. Rank says nothing about skill level. Rank players based on % of matches played rank/casual. Rank players based of w/l k/d..
GIVE PEOPLE A OPTION TO PLAY A MODE "JUST LIKE" RANKED.. SAME RULES. AND ALL GAMEMODES!!!!

BUT UBISOFT DONT CARE... THEY HAVE TURN A BASICALLY ****TY GAME THAT WAS 100% UNCOMPETITIVE.. INTO A 100% UNPLAYABLE GAME!!!!

I'm not talking to anyone specifically, but maybe the devs were starting to listen to me when I said 'Ranked' should be more direct and fair across the board.

I always felt that Ranked was going to be forever Beta until they made a 5 man only squad entry. Now, with the new pick and ban and 'bomb only', I feel that they started to realize that Ranked should be as fair across the entire community.

Why would one group that likes 'secure', and can play it exclusively, be subject to the same rank than those that think 'bomb' is more strategy, and play and rank in the same way?

I think the bomb only is a great ideal second to a 5 man only 'Ranked' mode. It does require more teamwork.

It's possible, hopefully, that they relinquish the 'starter' mode (which is ludicrous) and morph it into a half way house to ranked.

We need Casual, Ranked lite (no ELO), and Ranked (bomb only-pick and ban).

I've been saying this for a long, loong, time.

The thing is is thats straight bs coop. Im also sad that you are advocating for taking away player choice and decisions that are putting ubi on par with ea as crap company.

Someone playing secure doesnt affect you. If you wanted bomb only you could set that up in your preferences. If thats your main arguement its weak. Oh someone got the shiny thing a different way than me so theh should be punished. Cmon you sound like a little kid.

I actually agree with this. The only way to make your "rank" valid is to have a consistent experience for everyone. Having the ability to disable certain game modes made it so the "rank" meant different things to different people. So switching to bomb only makes sense in that respect.

But they left a huge hole when they got rid of the other modes. People want a competitive, and more fairly matched, option like the old ranked for Secure and Hostage. We should have something in the middle of casual and ranked that would meet that need.
