I’ve been playing almost entirely ranked matches since they added them and my rank hovered around Initiate I and II, but today I suddenly received Seeker V. Totally unexpected because I lost the majority of the games I played, but this means winning or losing a match might not matter as much. This is really great because most of the games I’ve lost were because someone dc’d, was afk for more than a minute or was just too new to be able to hold their own.
Fairly excited to see what the the ranked games are like past Initiate and happy to know winning or losing a match might not count as much towards your rank.
You are likely still playing at a similar skill level as in previous weeks. The lowest ranked player in Australia is now a Seeker III player, so I’d guess that most of Initiate was boosted an entire rank by the redistribution changes.
