Man this is rough, why was finals broken up into only two cups for last year and this year. We worked stupid hard to win the Elite cup championship twice last year. But at least during our finals we would very rarely go up against Elites or Diamonds so we would have some what a fair competition. We are gold's with one of us occasionally reaching Platinum 3 maybe 2 and this year we have played maybe 16 games this finals and only two of those games have they been against teams our size of ranks. Every game that wasn't those two had at least one elite player and mostly Diamond Players. As soon as the game starts and we see they are all that high of players it makes us question why we are getting these teams. I understand it is Elite cup finals and we are possibly going to see some high end teams especially as we get deeper in the rounds but round 1 seeing teams like this is deflating. There use to be 4 different cups to play for and usually if we didn't make it into the Elite cup we would have some good battles in the superstar cup and even though it wasn't round based we could play multiple games and have fun. It is just not fun anymore to play. What sucks is yes we could play better but for some reason the Higher end teams it feels like if they have bots those bots play up to their level in terms of poke checks, being able to hold on to the puck and that All Star Goalie. Sorry for the long post I guess the real question is
Was skill based matchmaking a thing in years pass or were we just lucky. If it was a thing Does it plan on coming back.
Elite is Fire logo - Diamond is Purple Logo - Platinum is the one between Purple and gold logo - Gold is Gold - Silver is the Grayish color and Bronze is bronze. This is my understanding of the ranks
