What I heard is that Kombat league is going to have a tier-based system like League of Legends and Overwatch do. If this be the case, please don't let us go the way those games have gone in regards to toxicity. Those games got to the point where if you weren't at a certain level you basically had a gag order in the form of "You are only in 'x' rank, you can't even play, so don't talk about the game ever."
Please do not let that become us. The FGC has been amazing to me over the years, and I want us to remain welcoming and open to helping newcomers and even just people who are bad at it. You might feel like this is not a necessary request but go and look at the message boards and forums for Overwatch and League of Legends. Don't ever let us become that.
Additionally, MOBAS have a certain pick up and play and mass appeal quality, which is how they are able to thrive despite abhorrent social communities. The FGC does not have this luxury. In the modern market fighting games are already niche do to barrier of entry. If we ad the stigma of a toxic social community it could very realistically kill the game and genre.
TL;DR: If Kombat League has a tiered ranking system, don't be an asshole to people on the lower tiers. Please just don't do it. We (The FGC) are better than that, and the our genre's success just might depend on it.
Thank you and stay classy out there.
