STOP PLAYING RANKED
Once you get to level 50, why are you still playing ranked play!?!?!? Is there some sort of reward for playing once you’ve reached max level? If not, then STOP PLAYING RANKED PLAY! At that point a...

So, bring ultimate, at the beginning of each season, when I didn't other 39s trying to climb up myself, who do you think they are? Other ultimate Leaguers! My climb is hard. Again, why do you feel entitled to an easier climb? Maybe (and I know this isn't the TRUTH you want to hear) but maybe 39 is where you belong.
I don’t feel entitled to it being easy. I just believe in going easy on others (again seeing this is a free to play game with built in rewards, why not be easy on everyone since we can all benefit?). I can’t make you be a nice person, but it’s not going to stop me from asking.
- I don't think it's a matter of nice, I think it's a matter of principle. I don't believe every one deserves a trophy for trying. I want to know I earned my wins and that when I make it to ultimate, I deserve to be there. I, personally, want to play against the best. When I win against them, I know I can hang with the best; when I lose, I can learn something from a better play.
Yes, it is a f2p game, that doesn't mean f2HighestTierWithoutPlayingtheBest.
I understand your motivation now, but don't think we stay to be mean, we stay and play there because it's fun. It's not like we choose to play you when we do, we there for the 50s, which we have better chance of playing in ranked. I play with a few lower levels in a day, but nowhere near the amount of high level opponents that are experienced and using high level decks.
In the end, to me it's not nice to give people the easy route. I was more arguing against the screaming title of your thread, which is a command. But at least now you understand you can't force people to be *your* definition of "nice."I think that this problem is more a matter of perspective rather than execution.
This problem has been around since the beginning of the game (High league players facing low league players). I remember being crushed by them when I started playing, even on casuals.
It wasn't until I reached Gold League that I was able to finally beat an Ultimate League Player.
I was so mad at the beggining, asking constantly why the matchmaking would face two players which such a huge skill difference together.
I hoped that one day this problem would be solved, and as we can see right now, it is still here and has no sight in leaving any time soon.
So, I decided to learn from them.
"Why would they play this card?"
"Why on this lane and not on this one?"
And I started recognizing some common patterns among them.
Like, not revealing the Superpower you have in hand until you actually need it.
This makes the other player play around it. Something like...
"Demn, I want to play my super big Poison Oak against Super Brains, but he may have the Cut Down to Size superpower...
If he has it, he will kill my plant with just 1 brain, and my turn will practically have been in vain"
Things like that.
So my suggestion for you my friend, is to deal with it. Some players (like me) play no more Ranked once we reach Ultimate, but some other players will continue playing.
Until the matchmaking is fixed (again, we still have no clue when this will be done) I suggest you pay close attention to them.
They reached Ultimate for a reason, try to learn from them.
For perspective, I've been playing "real" CCGs for decades (I'm a Magic player from before the turn of the century) and I play those serious more than fun.
I only started taking ranked play serious on this game since the Dino cards came out. To me, free to play games are something that every player should get the max out of it that they can (don't blame me, the makers put this component into the game 🙂 ). If you want to spend money, that's great. And I have spent money on this game, for the record, but, if someone is playing this game and wants to make the most of it without putting money into it, then, IMO, it's most fun for everyone involved if we work together to make that happen for all players, as opposed to being cutthroat all the time just because we can be.
- I get you, but fun is subjective. Your idea is asking ultimate Leaguers to stop playing ranked, thereby letting people level up easier and (in my opinion) getting bloated ranks because they aren't facing the best. My idea of fun is playing the best and formulating strategies to beat them; earning my rank by facing the best.
That said, magic, huh? I was always more the Yu-Gi-Oh fan.
