As the title says, how does unranked matchmaking work?

From what I understand, unranked doesn’t affect your rating, and that’s the major difference with ranked. So unranked is using the “rating” players acquired while playing ranked?

1) What happens if someone hasn’t played any ranked games yet? His rating will be “average” and will never move up or down, which means if they are a very very good player they will be winning most matches, or they aren’t so good they will be losing every match they play -forever because their rating won’t drop with defeats

2) Can a “good” team play games in ranked, lose (maybe even on purpose) to lower their rating, then go and farm lower skill level people in unranked? Since their rating won’t increase in unranked, they will always face very low skill level opponents and win every game (to farm pvp rank / pvp rewards etc)

Am I missing something? Is there a separate rating for ranked/unranked?

I believe there is a separate rating system for unranked. I think it was Justin that said so in a post on these forums somewhere.
