So, I started ranking up this month and through experience from Friendly Matches I knew the first few rankings wouldn't be too difficult to push through. However, it's quite grindy to say the least, I've Advanced up to rank D3 so far, maining Gardevoir and interestingly enough, some matches are making me have a hard time moving forward (and the occasional lack of opponents with low rank, it's a bit harsh to pit me against an unexperienced player so I win measly 25 points while they lose their record).
I still believe that going up to rank C1 should be quite doable with my current skillset, but we'll see how things change a bit later. I'm quite the sloppy player, so random loses are holding me back in D for the time being. At least harsher opponents should allow me to pick a few new tricks.
