Call of Duty: Warzone Update Fixes One Problem, Sparks a Bigger One in Ranked Play

Raven Software’s latest patch for Call of Duty: Warzone was supposed to smooth things out for players in Season 4. Instead, it kicked off a fresh wave of frustration especially in Ranked Play. The developers pushed out an update on June 11 to correct an issue where some players had been unfairly dropped to a lower rank at the season’s start. On paper, it sounded like a fair fix. In practice? It accidentally set off a leaderboard meltdown.

Call of Duty Warzone Update


Here’s what happened: Players who were affected by the initial bug were meant to get back the Skill Rating (SR) they had lost plus whatever SR they’d earned since. To ease the transition, they were also given three matches’ worth of demotion protection. But somewhere in the math, things went sideways. A number of players suddenly received huge SR boosts upwards of 5,000 points instantly catapulting them into Warzone’s top 250 rankings.

That sort of jump is practically unheard of in a grind-heavy mode like Ranked Play. And predictably, it didn’t go over well.

The community quickly picked up on it. Popular account CharlieIntel flagged the issue, and players flooded Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) with complaints. Some called the fix “horrible,” arguing it handed out high-tier placements to players who hadn’t earned them. One frustrated comment summed up the mood: “Went from Bronze to Diamond in a day? That’s not Ranked that’s a joke.”


But the backlash didn’t stop there. The patch reopened old wounds about Warzone’s ongoing struggles with cheating. Accusations flew in the comment sections, with players claiming the leaderboard is already packed with boosters and hackers. A few even floated the idea of paying for a premium version of the game if it came with a real anti cheat system.

Meanwhile, as Warzone and Black Ops 6 wrestle with bugs and backlash, eyes are already drifting to the horizon. With Black Ops 7 officially revealed, it’s becoming clear that more of the development team’s energy may soon shift in that direction. Whether that leaves Warzone players feeling supported or sidelined remains to be seen.

By
The next chapter in Nothing’s smartphone journey is almost here. The London-based tech company, led by Carl Pei, has announced that the Nothing Phone 3 will officially launch on July 1 in India and other global markets. And while the official debut is still a few weeks away, a fresh teaser has already stirred up conversation — and controversy — among fans. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the company offered a sneak peek at the Phone 3's rear design with the phrase “ultra-precise engineering.” The teaser shows a partial view of the back panel — featuring a new dual-tone finish and some distinct etchings. But here’s the real shocker: the iconic Glyph interface is gone. Yes, you read that right. Nothing is moving away from the glowing LED pattern that made its phones instantly recognizable. This design change has caught many off guard, considering the Glyph lights had become a signature feature since the brand’s debut. For those unfamiliar, the Glyph interface was more than ...

After rolling out the Vivo Y19 5G in India just last month, the company seems to be quietly working on another addition to its Y-series lineup. While the official name hasn’t been confirmed yet, early leaks hint at a new budget-friendly phone that could make a splash—especially with a curved AMOLED display, a feature that’s still pretty rare in this price range. According to a report from 91mobiles, which cites unnamed industry insiders, Vivo is planning to introduce a new Y-series smartphone that may claim the title of the slimmest device with a 3D curved AMOLED screen under ₹15,000. If that turns out to be true, it’s a bold move that could give the brand an edge in India’s increasingly competitive mid-range segment. A few design details have started to emerge. The phone is rumored to come in three colours: festive gold, freestyle white, and nebula purple. The freestyle white version, interestingly, might sport a distinctive rear panel pattern. The device is also tipped to be just 7.4...
