I truly want this game to stay gold and be successful. Ranked play has potential to be golden. What I fear though is ppl leaving the match this is gonna destroy ranked play. I mean you are gonna have teams running stacked in ranked play that know eachother/have good chem and I fear that the way ppl leave in public matches now I mean straight after losing 1 round its either they leave on my team or leave on the other team this is gonna be rough to have a successful ranked play if ppl do this.

We'll outline more about Ranked in the near future, but I can assure you this scenario has been discussed. We're going to do our best to reinforce staying in a match.

Ranked will be a higher level of play, so while we're not naive enough to believe no one will quit/leave games, we expect it to be taken more seriously and be less of an issue especially at higher levels.
