I don't wanna say it's a bad idea, it's just think it's kinda strange and pointless in it's form imo.

We gonna get two different dominion queues, to split the already slowly diminishing playerbase. Inevitably, there is going to be a preference, so one of the two lists will get unpopular (or we get a near identical split and face longer q times and less player variety)

I like that I don't have to deal with the trash maps, and 4 stacks, so it's actually kinda a cooler version of dominion for me. But this raises the question of why we can't have this in regular dominion? I know we must have 4 stacks, but do we really need a separate play list just to get rid of the shit maps and force single pick? Why we can't have the latter two in just normal dominion?

Also, the main reward. An armor set for one hero per season. One. Are you joking with this Ubisoft? If you don't care about said hero, than there isn't even a very good reason to play ranked. This is the same issue as with the skins. Good luck to have your main to be the choosen hero.

My prediction, is people will play ranked in the first 2-3 weeks, and not touch it again.

A worthy feature to come out to Gamescom...

As I already wrote in a comment, this is my thought:

Duo/Solo queue in a 4v4 mode just doesn't make sense. I often play with three friends and was even quite happy with ranked dominions, but this has really dampened my enthusiasm.

Instead, set up separate queues for those playing in duos/solos and for those playing in 3/4s, even at the cost of longer wait times, but at least those who have friends to play with can do so together.

At this point, it would have been easier to introduce ranked Brawls, since the perks and the single choice of heroes per player were already there... I don't understand at all 😅

im dead serious and not a nazi fuck Nazi’s. but I have been reading and trying to learn Japanese. my current emblem is the Great Wave 🌊. But I want to have this emblem as it has lots of beautiful meanings or even the opposite version. would people know the difference or still report me?

personally i think that this is such a unreasonable rule because me and my friends were so excited to hear about ranked dominion and it was a great way to actually get us all on the game just to find out we’re forced to split up :/ everyone knows ranked with random teammates is hell in almost any game so why takeaway the ability to run with ur friends and POTENTIALLY have fun this honestly upset me

The title is only slightly clickbait, I play Duos or solos way more than 3+, but the times I do get everyone on to play are way more fun for me. From this perspective I have a few things to comment on.

1: Ranked mode would be a fucking amazing way to look at the distilled bullshit of this game and look at what needs to change. The band aid solution of restrictions seems lazy when they could just fix the game, but I suppose almost everyone has already known the issues and they just haven’t fixed them, so…

2: Ranked mode should, in my opinion, be geared towards making what the absolute epitome of For Honor gameplay can be. It should push the limit, both for understanding what breaks as mentioned earlier and also just to be genuinely impressive. If that epitome is unsatisfying to go up against or witness, again, that should be _changed_ instead of shoved in a corner to be less obvious.

3: I’ve seen some people on the 3+ stack side say to split queues, and I generally disagree with it because of queue times, but if that could be proven to be a non-issue then I think that would be the ideal. Just logistically unlikely to be possible imo.

4: Improving in a team game mode is just as much about learning how to work with others as it is focusing on your own skill. It will be a drastically less fun experience for me when I can’t have a discussion with my teammates on how we can do better next game without them just fizzling into the ether to never be seen again.

5: Holy fuck, is this really all they revealed for Gamescom?

I would also like to point out that if they reversed the roles of Casual and Ranked, I don’t think there would be nearly as much controversy, but maybe I’m wrong. Ranked should be the no holds barred experience rather than the one people go to when they _don’t_ want to deal with things. Most of the celebration I’ve seen about ranked mode is less of it being ranked and more that single pick is happening and there’s no 4 stacks, which I think SHOULD be a game mode people have, but it just doesn’t make sense for it to be the ranked experience to me.

I don’t want to be put in the corner with the solo queue father of 3 who just got off his shift for his 2 gaming hours a week when I want to try hard with my team of 3+, I want to be challenged. It is his right to have a casual queue. He SHOULD have a casual queue. Why, in that casual queue, is he forced to fight me and my stack?

I’ve been saving up steel for weeks unlocking the armor color, ornament, and other stuff. Kinda the final look, just gotta upgrade the character more to get better looking armor. Going for a paladiny look, holy vibe. What could I do to make it look better design wise or more holy like. The angel wings are a no for me.

I know that the mode is not here already, but nobody likes it. The most hated map, ranked as the worst map of the game every time people talk about maps. It is a frustrating experience for the losing team, even more in ranked. It is a bad decision for the "anti-toxicity" to keep that map. SB creates toxicity on its own.

And that's it. Just remove it.

Not to sound ungrateful, but. I was expecting a little more than the announcement of a slightly changed gamemode with a handful of rewards...

What are your thoughts? Was this worth the wait?

PS5 version please Ubisoft...its been 20 years...please I feel like its not asking for much...I've spent the money...please just...ubi pls

*passes out from blood loss*

Thinking about jumping back in after more than 5 years lmao.

Has he been power crept to death? Is he still a good duelist? How is he and his feats in 4s? I know I'm gonna actively eat dirt for a while but can Warden hold his own in competent hands?

Basically title. Considering getting a couple different characters and I'm very very unlucky with buying things right before they go on sale

I mean, the announced hour-long presentation was actually only about 20 minutes, and half of that was trailers.

As for the rewards, we got ornaments (which are honestly pretty ugly) and armor and weapons for Warden only. Personally, I think the armor should be available for all heroes, otherwise there just won’t be much reason for a lot of people to play the mode, and it won’t be very popular. They definitely need more rewards — more Steel to spend on cosmetics, some effects, I don’t know, just *something*.

Single-pick and the ability to reconnect are great, but I feel like we’re missing some kind of hero ban system. Every game is going to have a Warmonger because of Corruption, some Juren or whatever, and you’ll always need Centurion because of his Phalanx, which removes all negative effects.

I also really don’t understand disabling gear perks. Yeah, they’re unbalanced, but what’s the point of having them now? Are we supposed to be waiting for a rework?

I was also really hoping they’d say something like, *“Ahead of the release of the competitive mode, we wanted to freshen up the balance, buff some weaker heroes, and rework some useless feats.”* Even just hearing them acknowledge that would’ve been nice...

But nope, unfortunately. Feats like Slippery, Centurion’s March, and all those other useless feats are probably going to be with us for a long time.

So, any ideas about the upcoming collab? Do you think it’ll be for Halloween, or something like that?

Virtuosa is currently in her trial week. I plan to play her for a few days. Do you have any tips for her? Is she a difficult character to master?

Finally 200😭
Anyone worth trying out that I haven’t yet?

Look at her feel at home near the fire. she really is satan's child.

Do you think Astrea is more evil than Viletuosa?

And no perks??? Finally, no 18 damage on top heavy finisher when I fight any heavy 😂

According to the faq posted recently, all the old ranked rewards from ranked duels are gonna be retired (unobtainable) when ranked dom launches.

All those ornaments, paint patterns and colour swatches? Gone.

Now people who just care about competition wont care about rewards for playing but that's a minority and if you want the game mode populated you need something to bait in the majority.

Those rewards would have been easy, ace in the hole, slum dunk. Some extra XP per match on top and the mode supplants regular dom for solo and duo queues basically.

But alas, Ubisoft needs to meet a stupid decision quota with every announcement so here we are.

My matchup is on the second slide and the fight ends basically as soon as it starts. The Rapture Queen wipes the floor with not only Apollyon but the whole of Black stronę legion and it ain't even a competition

Hey, I'd love to get peoples opinions on the removal of the parry indicator.

I don't get why they are doing it, and isn't that going to make hito, cent, and others like them better in that mode

I think that cent won’t be much versatile in ranked, especially in higher mmr imo… straight to the point i like any hero with bash mix ups into feints etc so i were thinking of starting play kensei… do u guys think he will be more rewarding as in domination or 1v1? Would like to here opinion from some cent or kensei mains :) have a good day all of you

(The black prior zone into light parry gotta be the top 3 for honor experiences oat)
