well, if the server creators want to have a base, my tip has a ton of good suggestions.

?PLEASE IF YOU ARE A TANKI ONLINE SERVER CREATOR, READ MY WHOLE IDEA (VERY WELL_THOUGHT) : if you make the change, more people will play + videos can have commentary with it because it is competetive. Youtubers and Streamers would much enjoy this and thus make the game more popular.? ?PLEASE IF YOU ARE A TANKI ONLINE PLAYER, SUPPORT MY IDEA BY LIKING? OR REPLYING? OR SHARING TO SERVER CREATORS??? ? STEP 1 (ICON): Create an icon that says "Rank" or "R" either under the green "Play" button or to the side of the "4 Box" button like the yellow "Special Event" button. Always available, so not just available during special event periods like the "Special Event" DM games (OPTIONAL): Limit to players who have "certain" experience rank in tanki online ? STEP 2 (MATCHMAKING): Each player will need "certain" number of games before obtaining an official "rank". Have maybe 5 different ranks, ex. (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Master, Supreme) Only allowed to battle against same ranked players unless unranked (can play with Bronze) Each rank contains 20 "Points" in a total of 5x20 = 100 points (points earned by winning, points lost by losing) 16 players per game, 8 on each team (Wait until 16 players all found before join the game = join all at the same time and start prep at same time) Maps and Modes are all the same as normal matchmaking battles, so that people will like it just as it is ? (OPTIONAL): Split each rank into 2 parts, ex. Bronze 1 and Bronze 2, thus making each rank 10 points to rank up (10x10=100) (OPTIONAL): No parties permitted or take the option below (probably better) vvv (OPTIONAL): Parties (3 at most) are permitted, but party members are placed in the matchmaking rank of highest party member Party members receives same amount of stars for win and loses the same amount of stars for loss (defeats purpose of smurfing) STEP 3 (RULES): Similar to "Normal Matchmaking Games", but has 1 min prep phase to decide what tank before official game starts (1 min prep + 6:45 actual = 7:45 total game) Choice of only Mk7-0 items (Skins carry over)(Garage items all reverted to mk7-0 tank): Turret, Hull, 3 Protections (no special), (NO DRONE) No Ties- if tie, for example same number of caps in CTF or 15 to 15 in CP, team with combined higher score wins (OPTIONAL): After prep phase for one minute, no switching turret/hull/protection mid-game (OPTIONAL): "Each team can only have one of each turret, meaning no repeated turrets. If teammate picks a turret, the choice is gone for other teammates" (OPTIONAL): probably not a good idea, but each team can at max have 2 of the same hulls ? STEP 4 (COMMUNICATION): Because "Ranked Games" are higher stake, people would definitely like to have the use of microphones to communicate (people can choose to mute others) (OPTIONAL): Maybe try to a microphones to all game play to make game more fun (people can choose to mute others) ? (OPTIONAL): Chatting with emojis? can be send to teammates or enemies ? STEP 5 (PENALTIES): Hacking = ban forever from Tanki ? if disconnect and reconnect = ban for "certain" time from Ranked if disconnect and no reconnect = ban for "longer" time from Ranked if inactive, also ban for "less" time ? (OPTIONAL): Team hurting, like shooting at a teammate or knocking them off balance constantly = ban from ranked (OPTIONAL): Create a tab where people can click on a player, and report cheating STEP 6 (REWARDS): Crystals and Stars and XP can remain completely the same as normal matchmaking battles (or increased to spur people to play ranked) Winners have a base add of 1 point and Losers have a base of -4 points Stars (without premium) is converted to points (range of 0,1,2, or 3 points) Therefore, Winners can have a range of 1+0,1+1,1+2,1+3 = 1,2,3,4 added points.? Therefore, Losers can have a range of -4+0,-4+1,-4+2,-4+3 = -4,-3,-2,-1 decreased points. ? (OPTIONAL): Make sure no gold boxes drop so that people focus on the Rank games (OPTIONAL): create another column to show how many "points earned" or "points lost" STEP 7 (BADGES): Each ranked game can be in a person's catalog which shows all members of team, opposing team, score, rank increase, and rank Place Badges of their "RANKED GAME" next to their name like their "EXPERIENCE RANK" or "CLAN" RESETS- Number of points in a rank reverts back to zero, ex. Gold 15 => Gold 0 or Master 6 => Master 0 If on the dot of a rank, ex. Silver 0 or Supreme 0, no reset in points is taken ? Server creator choice for reset after each half month or whole month. Rewards for whichever rank you are in after each season and additional reward for each "point" lost in a rank (crystals, supplies, containers, gold boxes) (OPTIONAL): Show number of points beside just the Rank Badge, ex. Bronze-15 ps. "THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU HAVE READ THROUGH MY THOROUGH EXPLANATION OF HOW RANKED GAMES COULD WORK!!! I WOULD LOVE IF THESE THINGS CAN BE ADDED, AND I BET MOST OF YOU TANKERS WOULD AGREE WITH ME, SO TO REITERATE, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH OTHER TANKI PLAYERS, SERVER CREATORS, OR JUST OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. ?"
