Warzone devs promise \u201ctaps\u201d change in ranked play update ActivisionWarzone ranked play developers Treyarch have promised a fairly significant update to the game in a future update, as they seek to eliminate the abundance of \u201ctaps\u201d across Fortune\u2019s Keep that may be artificially inflating SR. Ranked dropped in Warzone alongside the launch of Season 2, coming with the Fortune\u2019s Keep Resurgence map at the same time. It\u2019s a whole different ranked experience for Warzone players, who have only ever played it on the big map, but Ranked Resurgence is a huge change of pace, both literally and figuratively. However, players quickly realized that there\u2019s one easy way to help boost their SR, and that\u2019s with \u201ctaps\u201d \u2014 which may soon be a thing of the past. What are taps in Warzone? In Warzone ranked, you get SR (Skill Rating) points for kills and assists, as well as where you place in a match. Players quickly noticed, though, that you also get additional SR for shots on players that are already downed, prompting them to start \u201ctapping\u201d opponents who had already been downed to earn themselves a little extra SR, even if they didn\u2019t get the down originally. It became a divisive topic among competitive players, and many called for the removal of taps \u2014 and they might finally be getting their wish. Treyarch promise \u201ctaps\u201d change In a post made on February 14, Treyarch addressed the situation: \u201cIn a future update, we will adjust how Kill & Assist SR is awarded when engaging with downed enemies to mitigate \u201ctap\u201d gameplay and increase competitive integrity of the SR system\u2026 \u201cPlayers who didn\u2019t damage the eliminated player shortly before they were downed will instead earn Squadmate Kill SR when their teammates down and eliminate an enemy. In the same future update, we\u2019re granting Squadmate Kill SR regardless if a player is dead or alive.\u201d They revealed the following changes were made: Only the following players will receive Kill & Assist credit when a player is eliminated: The player who downed the eliminated player. – Players who damaged the eliminated player shortly before they were downed. – – They added that \u201cthis change is being made to ensure the competitive integrity of Kill & Assist SR by removing the ability for players to \u2018tap\u2019 downed enemies to overinflate their SR gains.\u201d When exactly this future update remains to be seen. They could be looking way ahead to Season 3, which will be in early April, or perhaps the Season 2 Reloaded update which will be sometime in March, and perhaps a more desired timeframe for ranked players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
