Ok... What do we think about ranked?

Simple version: population decline means they have to dig deeper into the barrel to find people for these pros to play against. That's you, my friend. To be honest, given how wide the skill ranges are in matchmaking, there are people a lot lower than you on the ladder who are facing off against these guys. If that's any comfort. Upside: you get a guest star slot in pro streams on a regular basis. Feels good, right?
