So I have been playing a lot of Ranked Team Racing, and here is a list of things that do not work properly and a list of suggestions how to fix it.
-) Freeroam Rush - Honestly Winning a Ranked Team Adventure by winning 2 of those and one proper race, is not OK for a Ranked type of mode. Ranked Team Games does not have Freeroam Rush, why does Ranked Racing and Anything Goes have this?
-) Crashing and griefing - Braking before a corner to fully accellerate in the apex like a Pro is a guaranteed way to get crashed into to miss a checkpoint. Bad and unsporting driving is rewarded, pure driving skill is punished. This gets even worse once someone picks a truck like the Iron Knight.
-) Players quitting early - this leads to an advantage for the Team that had the quitters. This is due to the way scoring works. A first place only gives Points for 4 exceeded enemies, but a second against a full Team of six would give you points for beating 5… This gives the Team that lost 2 Players or more a huge advantage in scoring. Is this really fair? Please think about it! I was for example in a bad Team with 2 quitters, but we won because we had that advantage in scoring… Not OK!
These are just the 3 main Points that are IMHO really ruining Ranked Team Adventure.
So what I suggest:
-) Remove Freeroam Rush
-) Add Ghost mode for true Racing Skill matches
-) Rework Team Scoring to not reward Teams with less players
