With the release of the new update and the introduction of a social arena area, is this a true social playlist with no hidden ranks? Or, is it same old same old with ranks just hidden away?
Every social playlist has had hidden ranks. I imagine that this is the same. I can’t say I’ve heard either way from anyone with knowledge. Just an assumption from my own experience.
this morning I was playing with a former champ 6 player. I was in way over my head. He clearly brought in some sweaty players. I think there’s a hidden skill ranking system.

So you’d rather have Champs playing against Bronzes?
That’s definitely everyone’s idea of social

I haven’t played Social Skirmish yet, so I have no idea how it feels, but if there aren’t hidden ranks, then there will in all likelihood be a higher number of painfully unbalanced matches. Hidden ranks should at least keep the higher skill players away from the bottom level players.
Because the last thing a weak player in social wants to do is face off against players way out of their skill range.
It may feel social for the better players, but those weaker players getting consistently stomped because every game they face off against high-level players won’t feel those social jibblies.
