Description

We currently have a bit of an information overload in the killfeed. Especially with rank-ups, it can get really busy and difficult to read with a bunch of items visible at the same time.

Proposed Solution

As a player, I want to be able to quickly identify relevant killfeed info (who killed who) without being overloaded with less important stuff (rankups etc) in the heat of the moment. Since a rankup will not be very actionable information until the next round starts, at least for the standard CTG mode.

I propose we merge items that are related, for example a kill and the rank-up resulting from that kill should be presented in the same line, instead of creating a separate killfeed item for the kill and for the rankup (image borrowed from Discord bikeshed):

I also think we could simplify the ghost capture, such that it simply displayed the team whose alive players received the rank-up, rather than enumerating every single team member (worst case MaxPlayers/2 rank-up items in the killfeed simultaneously).

Alternatives Considered

An alternative would be cutting out all information except the basic kill info, to make things extremely streamlined. But I suspect there is some value in presenting this extra info, for those who care to see it.

Additional Context

This has been a Discord hot (lukewarm?) potato for some time. Adding a ticket so it doesn't get forgotten about.
