I’m already seeing posts of players freaking out that they got placed 3-5 ranks below their previous rank even though they did well in their placements matches. THIS HAPPENS EVERY EPISODE. IT IS NORMAL.

Rebalancing the ranks is healthy for the competitive aspect of the game. Also, your MMR is most likely higher than the rank you got placed so your wins should give you a lot of RR.

Custom Loadout skins for each agent

For someone who has a lot of skins it would be cool if we could customize our skins and gun buddies for each agent, so we can use all the skins and match the agent color with the skins for example.
