Played ~50 total matches in 2023, never got out of Bronze. The last time before that was 2020, my highest rank was Gold at that time.
Tried to play a session last night with a couple buddies:
Teammate 1 - The person I ran all my previous matches with, so we were the same ranks. It started him at Bronze 2.
Teammate 2 - Hit Gold two seasons ago but it started him at Bronze 4.
But me? It started me in Silver (before playing placement matches). So all of the opposing teams were Silver and Gold, and we're getting wrecked easily. In many of the matches it was mostly Gold teams. We eliminated 1 team in a dozen matches. I'm trying to remember how to play the game, I am legit a Bronze player.
So why am I in Silver if my buddies were put in Bronze? If there isn't a way to correct my rank down to Bronze, I'm not sure I'm interested in attempting another go if it's gonna be a repeat of that session.
