Except ranks aren’t trophies, they’re not rewards they’re just placements.

thank you!
That is like being one of the fastest people in the world 10 years ago. You are not still one of the fastest people in the world just because you were 10 years ago.

As of now I have 344 points. Will update once at 400
At 416 points. 26-11
I think I’ll make Gold eventually but I may have to accept that I’ll never be a Killer again. I guess it was false hope that I hovered around rank 1500 in the world as a Killer for so long. :\
…but you can still say that you were and have proof of it.
You can say that you were killer and you do have proof through the leaderboards.
Where at?
On the ranked screen select the leaderboard and you can scroll through all the previous killers for all the months.
I really like this game. Having said that, I hate this new ranking system! I finally reached killer status back in FEB. '16. It may impress anyone reading this, but I don’t play KI every hour of every day. I didn’t even get serious about online until MAR. '15. I got thru qualifying, bronze and silver in one month. I thought I was pretty good at this, playing just two or three hours, every other day. Took me almost a year to get my killer rank. I’m not a professional player of fighting games, but I EARNED my rank. Now it really doesn’t seem to matter. Not saying I’ll stop playing. I probably won’t be playing as much. If I had known about these changes I never would have pre-ordered season three.
So you wouldn’t buy S3 because of ranked?
People like you complain now and when you get to Killer you would complain and probably reset and end up bronze then complain how hard it is to get back to gold lol.
Anyone who doesn’t like the new ranking system is just salty about not being Killer anymore. It was too easy to get there I know more than a few people who are at bronze level play always holding up and do not realize there is other buttons other than mediums that made it to Killer.
Gold is an accomplishment Killer isn’t the end all be all. It is just a rank and shouldn’t take anyones enjoyment out of the game. If ranked makes you salty go play lobbies or exhibition. Killer should be a very rare coveted rank for those who are truly on a skill level above 90% of the population or so not 50%.
Want to earn Killer? Practice, clean up flaws, work on tech and keep learning and playing wins will come eventually where Killer level play would be natural. If you aren’t keeping a positive win ratio in gold or Killer you don’t deserve to be there and this goes to the whole thread.

I honestly like the change. Now, everyone isn’t a Killer, which before made Killer rank seem like it had ranks within itself. Luckily, the climb is hard so it feels truly rewarding. Plus, I never considered myself an actual Killer so it’s good to stay on lower tiers lol.
Man ranked leagues right now are great, it is a grind but i dont think is that bad, if it takes me a couple hours a day during a couple weeks to get there im fine with that.
And now with the option to requalify every month is gonna be even more fun to me, i think the qualification and bronze to gold ranks are fun to play and you learn a lot!.
like i said before about hearthstone, i have achieved “Legend” rank only twice, and you get there usually by playing 2 to 3 hours daily and it will take me around 20 to 25 days to get to Legend, so this isn’t that bad actually, here at least you get to keep your Killer or whatever rank you’re on, what about other games? na ah you are back to the grind from beginning every month.

While I agree with this, at the current number of players it seems kind unbalanced to have a ton of skilled players in silver and bronze. Especially for newcomers it must be the most frustrating experience. A better solution would have been to add two more tiers in between gold and Killer. Like a Diamond and Platnium tier.
I feel pretty bad when I see I get match made with a new bronze player that doesn’t even know how to combo.
Or maybe since they just started they will just think they are bad (which is true) and practice 2-3 days and by the time they try again all the good players are gone and they will think they improved a lot even though they improved little 
50+ comments? Holy crap, you dudes are awesome. Hopefully things in ranked will calm down soon.
I’ll go have a look, but if memory serves, they only showed the top 32 for each month, not killers.
EDIT: Found it. Sort of… It shows your rank for each month alright, but says nothing about tiers, although you can assume that if you’ve placed on that leaderboard that it makes you a killer. The thing is, beause it’s not directly stated, newer players may not be able to connect the dots (and maybe not even some seasoned players). I think I’d like it better if it would say “Killer Ranks March 2016” at the top for example, but it doesn’t…
The amount of points awarded in Gold is miniscule. Not to call out C88 Summerall, but when I beat his Kim Wu yesterday, I received just over 100 pts. He was ranked fourth in Killer at the time. How am I not getting more points than that?
