Ballistic rank reset lobbies

So how does everyone feel about the rank reset?

I’m having a lot of trouble keeping up the motivation to play. My lobbies are filled with people who’ve never played the game before (no hate, just an observation) and were up against very clear unreals. I’m loosing games with 10+ kills while my teammates have maybe 1 or 2 and the other team is bringing in 15, 16, I’ve even seen some 20+. Out of 15 games today I’ve won one, 7-6 and the games we lose the rounds are only about 30 seconds long since we’re getting lasered within seconds. I won’t even get started on the ravenous cheating going on and cross play issues

I was really under the impression the your previous rank reflected your new one so it’s a bit frustrating that I went from unreal to unranked and am now stuck playing with unranked/golds against impossible teams. As we speak I just got demoted to Gold 2 after an 11 kill game which is just fantastic. I genuinely don’t know how I’m ever going to get back to unreal

I know the match making is based off of the “average rank of the lobby” (it really never was, even at unreal I was playing with platinums) but they should take into consideration your previous rank. It just doesn’t make sense to put previous unreals against new players and consider that equal since everyone’s rank reset. Or at the minimum, make elims count for something since finishing a game with 10+ kills and ranking down cause your team doesn’t know how to shoot isn’t fair either

I don’t know, I’m probably overreacting but I genuinely enjoyed playing this game and grinded hard to get unreal so dealing with this has been frustrating to say the least. It’s the only game mode I run on fort and it’s become nearly unplayable. Already Ballistic got a lot of criticism and I really don’t think this was the move to fix it

Sorry for the rant, I’ve just seen a few other people talking about this issue as well so I figured I’d put my two cents in
