Marathon’s New Ranked Mode Is Super Weird… And Genius
The function of a Ranked playlist feels practically at odds with the extraction genre, but Bungie has cooked up a convoluted system for Marathon that may turn out to be incredibly clever. Traditional Ranked modes are easy to understand: win a match and you gain points, lose a match and your station decreases, often weighted based on the ranks of your opponents. But extraction shooters like Marathon aren't so straightforward.
