I played slowly into ruby only doing maybe a game per day. The first tiers were very lopsided games. The team I was on often won by more than 300 points.
Now that I’ve been playing in ruby for the last couple of weeks, most of the fights seem close. A lot of the matches are within 100 points, and I’ve only had a couple of times with 3-game win streaks.
That was just a touch disappointing as I had talked myself into the idea that diamond would be easy. But if I look at the actual matches, they are pretty fun. And I might still make diamond if I can win just a couple more games in a row…
