Fans were pretty much excited with the arrival of Season 4 in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This highly anticipated season has brought so much new and returning content like Fugitive 6v6, One in the Chamber, new POI in Verdansk, and many more.
But who thought that this update would also bring a lot of bugs and glitches with itself that would totally disrupt the gameplay. From stutters and glitches to unfair exploitation of the maps, fans saw everything after the arrival of Season 4. But the most frustrating was the Ranked match glitch in Warzone. However, Activision might have escalated the situation by trying to fix this particular issue.
Call Of Duty Warzone Ranked glitch fix backfires the ranking system
Activision released
a patch on June 2 to fix all the already mentioned bugs
and glitches in the game after the release of Season 4.
Amidst all of these issues, there was a game-breaking bug due to which, fans were unable to get their deserving Skill Rating (SR) after a Ranked match.
However, this issue wasn't fixed completely with the June 2 patch and Activision later on released another patch on June 11 to eradicate the bug completely and caused some players to start Season 4 at a lower rank than it was supposed to. The affected players were granted with missing SR due to the previous bug since the Season began to compensate for the loss.
But tables were turned over everyone's head when it was realized that these players actually gained a massive SR boost. This boost was reported to be even as high as 5,000, which severely impacted the leaderboard, as many lower-ranked players even jumped into the top 250.
The decision of giving away SR to the affected players was actually a great idea, but no one realized that this idea would have backfired so hard. As a consequence, this leaderboard error has led to serious criticism towards Call of Duty regarding its Ranked play integrity, as most players in the top 250 leaderboard didn't have to break a sweat to get a spot in there. Now it's up to Activision itself on how it will fix this mess, which was created by it in the first place.
