And what about the people who enjoy searching 3's and 4's because they work well together? Should the main slayer be ranking up faster than his teammates even though they are all contributing equally to the win?
If somebody really cares that much about losing a game searching solo then they should just wait until their friends get online. It's a team game for a reason, the whole point is to win, not lose and go positive.
A main slayer is no doubt better than an objective/support player in team deathmatch games. This is why a win/loss system is put in place for objective styled playlists such as MLG, Team Objective etc.
edit: okay I see what you mean. Players can play well together in 3s and 4s. Maybe the team could have some sort of link with each other? Like a rank/experience bar displayed with the ind. rank? While simply searching solo/2s would display the individual rank. idk.
Just came to mind-
The Teamwork rank or w/e could be displayed from 1-5. This displays your win/loss ratio with those particular players (only searching 3s and 4s)
1 being the worst, 5 being the best.
1 = 1 W/L ratio and anything below. (250 wins 250 losses, 250 wins 1000 losses)
2 = 2 W/L ratio (1.5 - 2.49) (eg: 260 wins 130 losses)
3 = 3 W/L ratio (2.5-3.49) (eg: 300 wins 100 losses)
4 = 4 W/L ratio (3.5-4.49) (eg: 600 wins 150 losses)
5 = 5 W/L ratio (4.5 - 5+) (eg: 1000 wins 200 losses)
Let's take a game for example:
3 players John Jim and James decide to play TS.
They play 5 games in a row, then James leaves and is replaced with a new player, Jake. These players will no longer have their TWR displayed, as they are a new group. The group must play a minimum of 5 games for their rank to be determined.
This would probably be pretty useless at anything other than 50 high. So maybe it's 50s exclusive.
Sure, this promotes new accs, but would you rather that then deranking and boosting? I'd hope so.
Edit AGAIN lol: Maybe instead of numbers it could make the team's have a colour or something? Eg: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Onyx...
