I had a match yesterday, had 2 rank 2’s and 3 rank 1’s against, 2 rank 2’s and 3 rank 3’s. Is this an expected possible match up? I don’t mind cause I get to play better players theoretically and I don’t play enough games to get high in the ranks, but kinda odd.

We did win… but thought I’d ask.

What are these ranks you speak of? Divisions? Must be since you have to be rank 20 to even play in a ranked arena. If you’re talking about divisions, it looks at pip range more than actual division. I belive the pip range increases the longer you are in queue. If you are getting this matchup during peak hours, that might indicate a premade with different divisions

Yes by rank I meant divisions, so essentially My team had (3 div 1’s and 2 div 2’s) vs Their team (2 div 2’s and 3 div 3’s) So not even close in terms of pip spread. Highly unlikely they were a premade and my team wasn’t. But if they were, they’d use their highest player’s rating for the team right, so that would be an even worse pip range match up if you follow my thiking.

Was it during off peak hours?
