Thoughts and questions on provisional games/ranked.
A bit of info first I have played a fair number of random ques, with generally positive results(mostly lux 2.8kd ration 56% win rate) got to thirty and entered my provisional matches to get flattened.
First question it seems like I am being placed in matches with people that have plated a lot of rank before. What is the rank distribution you face in provision matches assuming you have not placed in a previous season?
Second a general complaint. The strategy and tactics in random queue and rank are completely different, which isn't a problem in itself. The problem is being placed against/with (the with might be worse) that have a lot of practice in this different way of playing. I just kinda wish that I could be placed against lower/nonranked players for provisional matches.
Maybe an auto bronze 5 button?
perhaps to sum it up the difficulty jump is just too much. Looks like the two matchs I played were against/with high silver /low gold. perhapse provisional works better for players that played in previous seasons.
