Newbie question, ranked or not?

@superlloyd Just like the game itself the matchmaking is also a cointoss you can end up with fellow players that are new/returning to the game or you get teamed up with players that have been sweating their balls off throughout the whole season. If you're that worried about being a sandbag for your team you can go no-fill to get a feel for the game(although you'll be alone making the game a little bit harder). My suggestion is to just play the game to the best of your abilities,play around your team and don't get left behind. If anyone starts to flame you just mute them and don't interact with them. Pubs is best if you want to get in and out of a game fast but if you want your teammates to stay play rank(watchout cause you might get paired against smurfs tho)
