Shroud is no stranger to battle royale games. He\u2019s played everything from Apex Legends to Fortnite and Warzone throughout the years and has grown bored of the genre, although he still dabbles in it from time to time. However, while streamers like Dr Disrespect are fond of ranked modes in battle royales and believe it\u2019s a feature Warzone 2 desperately needs, shroud thinks the opposite is true \u2014 they don\u2019t need a ranked mode at all. The topic came up while he was playing Vampire: The Masquerade \u2013 Bloodhunt, a new free-to-play battle royale game that launched on April 27, after someone in chat said: \u201cI hope they remove unranked games.\u201d Shroud responded immediately and said he hoped the opposite would happen. \u201cNah. For me, I would rather them remove ranked.\u201d Then, he applied his opinion to all the other battle royale games on the market. \u201cBattle royale games don\u2019t need a ranked mode. They just don\u2019t. If I were to pick remove ranked or remove casual play, I would remove ranked nine times out of ten. If you\u2019re talking about Valorant, that\u2019s a little different.\u201d Shroud never hesitates to go against the grain. For example, he recently argued that Fortnite Zero Build Mode is no better than the standard mode, which is a stark contrast to what other people think. He\u2019s done it again here. In the end, though, people want different things from battle royales. Some prefer a casual experience with no frills, while others are looking to quench their competitive thirst. Shroud thinks Valorant is a better fit for the latter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud claims battle royale games don\u2019t need a ranked mode to thrive Twitch: ShroudMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek claims battle royale games like Apex Legends and Fortnite don\u2019t need a ranked mode to thrive, and if he had to choose between ranked and unranked, he\u2019d pick the latter.
