Rank title ideas

Age of Empires IV IV - Discussion

These ideas wont fix player distribution NOR matcmaking instead this is only to give the players a better sense of distinction.

Add a 4th rank to all titles. Start by taking the points needed to obtain Silver 1 become the new Bronze IV and go from there.

Better yet make each step exactly 75 points (2-4 games
Won worth), starting at base 300 bronze 1.

300 Bronze l
375 Bronze II
450 Bronze III
525 Bronze IV

900 Gold l
975 Gold ll
1050 Gold lll
1125 Gold IV

1950 Conqueror lll
2025 Conqueror lV

What is the issue with the current ranks?
I only see a mild problem in high conqueror 3, where pros and very good hobby-players are in the same tier even though still having a big skill-difference.

The issue isnt merely at the high end IMO. BUT in the mid range given how easily it is to quickly obtain OR lose a rank title. This makes the differentiation less meaningful.

Personal example. I can go from diamond ll and conqueror l and back in a matter of 5 game winning/losing streak. IFF instead it took 3-5 games winning/losing to just achieve/lose a single tier ( from l to ll )THEN it would make the title a more meaningful depiction of my skill range.

Right now elo is the legit consistently meaningful representation of skill ALONE.

So for example from 1200 to 1499 elo would make a great title tier that’s also consistent with its relative skill range. (The new Platinum tier).
