Do CSR Ranks affect anything? I currently placed in Platinum 3 vs. 3, dropped like crazy from the stupid OP Jerome threesome. Although I’m in Platinum i’m still going up against Champions and Onyx players. The only thing I see happening is if I’m looking for random team players, they’re usually actually platinum but not my opponents.
Population could affect the pool of potential opponents. In 1v1s I get matched fairly decently. In 2v2s or 3v3s it seems to get more complicated in finding fair matchups against opponents especially when going up against teams. What area are you playing from? That might affect your population pool.
My opponents are varied, I even get put up against unranked who have played like 10 games and have lost 8. I actually feel bad playing those types of games because of the skill gap… but it’s essentially what unheardcarnage pointed out, not enough people play this game and the learning curve is out of wack.
