does anyone have any idea if the promotion matches are going away?
It just adds unnecessary stress to normal rank and a big time waste. Back in the day ranking up was harder because the skill gap between player to player was very big and 1 squad could easily slaughter an entire lobby. But now that's changed everyone has that basic skill level now so more they play more they rank up.
And promotion match doesn't really have to do anything with how good you play. I might get 2 squad wipe then get killed by a camper does that make me incompetent for my rank? No. Promotion match match is just a luck based thing mostly and a bit more skill to hide in the end game that's it. People who play more will eventually get past at some point. But we who play less has less time to play the game we will get stuck and will have to put more unwilling time to the game. I have time this time because of Ramadan but next season i won't so mostly gonna stuck in ace master probably.
Hope dev do something about it. Hope it's go away or revamped to something more useful and easy.
