It is what it is, I suppose, but with this new Deadlock Ranked system...
You can one-trick your way to 60 wins, play like absolute ASS on every other hero, and STILL unlock them for Ranked simply by accumulating enough points?
Imagine failing your driver's license test 35 times, only to eventually be handed a license just for showing up. 😂
IMO, the old system was WAY better. 60 wins minimum, at least 3 heroes with 15+ wins each, and every additional hero needed 15 wins to become Ranked-eligible.
You actually had to demonstrate some level of proficiency. Now we're rewarding participation over performance.
We folded to the participation trophy crowd.
GeeG.

People really don’t understand how GOOD Deadlock’s Ranked requirements are.
They’re designed this way for a reason: to make it miserable for smurfs to fire up fresh accounts and wreak havoc in Ranked lobbies they have no business being in. Valve knows exactly what they’re doing.
My advice to all the new players coming into Deadlock? GET YOUR REPS IN. You’ve got a ton to learn regardless, so enjoy the journey. By the time you unlock Ranked, you’ll have a solid understanding of your Heroes, and more importantly, so will the teammates you’re getting queued up with.
We also need to break out of this one-trick mentality that’s become so common in competitive games. Ranked Draft is coming, and that cowardly dodging shit isn’t gonna fly.
Put in the work. Learn a few Heroes. Expand your game. Embrace the learning curve and have maaad fun doing it.
LOCK TF IN!
