Ranked PVP
Ranked doesn’t care about skill levels, it cares about rankings. Yes, that means that in the first few days when everyone’s ranking is similar (Amber), there will be bloodbaths. But in time, those top players are going to be advancing out of Amber and into Emerald/Sapphire/etc., beyond your reach. You won’t be able to match up against them any longer. If you play while they’re still in your division, there will be some painful games. If you wait a bit and then play, you should wind up with better matchups.
Isn’t this better suited for the PVP forum?
^I would just say yes but I’m required to have at least 15 characters in this post so since you are asking a question I am going to say the answer is yes! :P
