I dont think the "How good are you at the game" choice in ranked worked

[Poss]

I selected beginner not being very familar with the game and I'm instantly queued against a guy with 1100 rank and played maypal like a die hard main as my first match

Might be because the game just launched but it didn't feel very beginner level is all I'll say lol

Why would it? It's day 1 of a ranked reset. Literally everyone is starting at the base MMR lol.

thats not what i mean, theirs a choice now at the start that lets you choose a choice between beginner, intermediate and one higher than that

One would think it would prioritize people who choose beginner together and not something else, unless people are just picking that option and don't care lol

Yeah, I think it doesn't work right now and mistakenly thinks you have 1000 rating the entire time until you finish placements (and possibly restart your game).

Wasn't in the demo either. There were definitely more important things they could've been doing with their time.
