i agree 110%
this has ruined the game

the fact you dont have an option anymore is bad, look at cod, bf, csgo etc etc all have multiple game modes at ranked competitive level, why can we not have the option, i like both modes but get sick of playing one constantly and play solo alot when i do play solo i play secure, i dont want or like to play casual, you should have the option.

pick and ban option is ok but the fact you have 3 rounds on attack or defence sucks, there was no reason to change the 1-1 rotation and i tend to always attack first which can result to losing 2-3 rounds most games (plat level) this can be frustration and imo ruins the fun and game play experience. I dont know if they are trying to make it more like pro league but if they are its ruining the ranked, think about it, some maps in ranked are not in pro league, Hereford for example, attacking that on first 3 rounds you basically lose all 3 match point already, dont change this if ranked still has lots of ****ty maps.

I've only just came back to Siege after about 6 or 7 months away playing other games, and I have to say, I ****ing hate pick and ban and bomb only ranked. I was playing casual with a couple of friends for a few weeks until they leveled up enough to play ranked (2 noobs) but this whole new ranked experience has completely killed my enjoyment of the game. I always disliked bomb when I played for a good 2 years solid before the break, and now that's all I can play in ranked?? Come on. Nice seeing Blitz, Jackal, Cav and Lesion banned every single game too, how refreshing. I've never put any of my own money into the game other than buying it but I'm sure those who have bought season passes and paid for DLC operators in the past will obviously love the fact they can now potentially not even use them.

When will Ubisoft learn we're not ****ing Pro League and a vast majority of us don't want to be??

I've generally told people to try and relax and that it's just a game at the end of the day but as a solo player I definitely feel the negative effects of playing ranked and casual. In ranked I encounter people who are too sweaty and take the game too seriously then in casual people are too incompetent and don't even try and it is full of all sorts of toxicity anyway. All I want is a mode in between these two that is ideal for solo players. A solo only mode would be great but I understand that there are other ways you could make people happy too. Just bring back old ranked with all maps and no 3 round switching. At this stage I will take anything no matter how big or small that will make the game experience better for solo players.

This game has been basically sold for its variety and how every game is different with strategies yet they take away choices with game modes and restrict some maps in ranked. What is known as ranked now doesn't need to change in any way, it only needs to be renamed "Pro Ranked". Changing the name alone would drive enough people away from the mode who want to play competitively but not too competitively. Just bring back old Ranked and have a second rank for this mode or at least have the same strictness of matchmaking as ranked is currently.

This is derailing but kinda related - This all comes from my thoughts from when I play Ranked. You do something good and people MIGHT compliment you but you do something slightly out-of-line and people are guaranteed to hound you and abuse you for the rest of the game and make your life miserable because you didn't do things perfectly in their mind even though they didn't communicate that at all. I just wish people could accept mistakes more in ranked and accept losses. So many people seem to get confused when I say that too. When I mean "accept losses" this doesn't mean not trying and throwing games because that gets me mad. Ideally, I would want people to try their hardest in ranked and try to win but if something does go wrong or we do lose then we move on with our lives and don't feel the need to get vocal on the mic and abuse people. Half the problems would go away if people didn't hold the push to talk button. You can scream at your screen and back-seat game all you want, just don't say it publicly. I would hate to hear it as that can be throw you off your game and make you focus a lot less because you don't care about winning when your thoughts are on the next bit of toxicity that comes your way. Being negative or angry never helped anyone and it only does bad things in the game. I hope this doesn't come across as too controlling of people. I just wish people could be more accepting when something goes wrong :/ I understand there is a mute button but in order to mute someone they gotta do something to piss me off first and it always ends up on your mind when you play. I'm learning to mute more people anyway but I've noticed that I am muting A LOT of people. I notice that I am kinda ranting with this paragraph but I'm gonna leave it for what it's worth.

TLDR: We need a mode that fits in between the current ranked and casual. Ideally something that suits solo players and/or disregards pro players. Something with tight SBMM and reflects old ranked with as much variety as possible in terms of the maps, modes and operators
