It has been stated that ranked mode will be coming to Bleeding Edge. Apparently most media have said that the devs are treating ranked as a "High priority" and that gets me super excited. Personally, for me, to see the most common things in ranked could have inspiration taken from both Overwatch and Paladins.
Some things that could work well in terms of ideas could stem from:
- Ranked seasons going for roughly 2-3 months with about 10 placement matches, depending on match time averages and general feedback on the speed of the game.
- I'm assuming there will be little to no changes to the current mod system for ranked, as they do not provide that much of an advantage (except the healing reduction mods, they seem kinda very strong idk)
- Having specific rewards for either getting to a certain rank, or an additional credit system, Ranked Points for example to unlock certain cosmetics, emotes, weapon skins etc. For example, a gold variant of every weapon would be beyond cool.
They could take a lot of elements from other games, whether they want a Bronze-GM style, or go individual ranks (Bronze IV to I f.e.). I'm excited for the future. Playing for the first time this Friday
