FragPunk April 25th Patch Notes
I wanted to focus on this part of the patch notes for ranked matches. The developers have added some idiotic decay system by where indirectly forcing players to play rank. If you don't play rank for an extended period of time, you will loose rank points. I make a fair comparison between CoD Mobile and FragPunk since both are free to play.
Ranked Matches
- Added a new Rank Decay Mechanism. If players do not participate in ranked matches for several consecutive days, they will enter rank decay. In this state, the player’s ranked points will decrease daily until they participate in ranked matches again.
- If a teammate disconnects during a ranked match, the ranks of the other team members will not be penalized after the match completes.
- Players will no longer be able to gain rank protection points in arcade modes, and players ranked Master and above will not be able to use rank protection points in ranked matches.
- Optimized reconnection limits. Players who unexpectedly disconnect during a ranked match can reconnect to the game throughout the entire match.
- Adjusted the deduction rules for ranked points after leaving ranked matches.
Fair Comparison
In Call of Duty Mobile, Rank resets every season regardless if you play 10 matches once every two weeks or you grind to hit legendary. You only loose rank points if you loose the match unless you have a rank protection card that earned by drops. No body gets punished for not playing ranked via rank decay, that's just outright moronic.I'm not going to be indirectly forced to play ranked just to loosing ranks for not playing. At this point, I might as well ignore rank mode. If you're going to go by season, then all ranks should be reset after each season regardless if I or anyone plays rank once a day. once a week or not at all.
As far as Call of Duty: Mobile, it's a fair comparison since both are free to play games! Yes, out of the two, one does it better
