{quoted} Working on some ranked irregularities before season starts

We've been seeing a few issues with where some accounts are placed in the new ranked system. More details on that and how we're addressing it to come soon. TLDR for now though is:

  • We want to put genuinely new accounts into Iron because it's a better experience both for those new players and others who previously got matched with them in what ended up being really uneven games
  • Smurfs are currently getting put into Iron but then not climbing really rapidly as intended, so their MMR and rank get desynched pretty badly at times
  • _ Returning players should be placed based on their MMR, but are currently getting put into Iron sometimes._
  • We're working on a bunch of fixes for the above, plus some other polish, at present.
