This is my suggestion with how your ranked battle royale could be structured. In the first few seasons of Apex Legends, their rank system was pretty good, so I think Splitgate 2 could look at that for inspiration. Specifically, I liked how in Apex there was a soft or full reset (for everyone) each rank split and people generally only played people near their own public rank even when the player was really good. The obvious negative was that in the first few weeks, low level matches were very difficult but they would get easier as good players graduated to upper ranks. This is okay though since people understand this. It’s important not to do skill-based match making within rank levels. So, really good bronze players and really bad bronze players should get assigned the same types of random teammates and they should play in the same lobbies. I don’t think good players in bronze or silver, for example, should just automatically get the worse teammates in the lobby to “balance” teams since this inherently makes it unfair for the top players. With a hidden MMR system, those top players will systematically have much more difficult ranked games than that of middle or lower players, which isn’t fair.
