They removed penalties where you could get deranked for too many losses in Season 1.
There's a few articles on it acknowledging the devs received too much negative player feedback on the Season 1 competitive experience.
Unfortunately it looks like it's going to stay this way. Realistically they need to make a fucking "unranked battle mode" and a Ranked one because currently this shit is stupid.
It's either people way too competitive, or AFK players getting farmed by said competitive players. There's no consistency currently, but it's ranked so it should be the really competitive only by nature. Having Unranked mode would fix this and I'm not sure why they wouldn't go that road like other games have been the past 20 years.
I'm looking forward to the multiplayer developing. A 2v2 mode alongside Unranked would be great additional options to clean the game up but holy SHIT ban the wave of
Chinese players with modded Pokemon traded over from emulated systemsWhy even have a fucking splash page warning players they can get banned when every match is the same nonsense. They literally scan at regional competitions to filter people out, and have an auto-filter for previous Gens. I get Pokemon HOME access isn't out yet so you wouldn't go the scale of the full Dex, but GF must have known this would be a day 1 issue.
