I find the whole thing pathetic.
Who CARES if you are ranked #1 if 1/2 the player base can kill you 1 on 1.
Who's the real "winner" there?
I put that right up there with the 3-4 players trying to take a base I am defending solo eventually capturing it after dying 50 times and never killing me thinking they "won". Same logic.
(rank is simple. learning to fight is HARD. one would think that if y'all are a competitive as we are led to believe, you would focus on what is most challenging in the game, as opposed something glaringly easy)
