Anecdotally, it feels like since the small matchmaking update my rank of Archon is suddenly full of people playing like they're at the International. Sweatiest matches of my life, everyone playing hyperconservative footsies for almost an hour until they can force two coinflip teamfigthts and immediately end the game. Less of a video game and more of a macroeconomics course, I (or more likely they) definitely don't belong in this rank.
My teammates were confused as to why they were playing with me too, both people way better who can't understand why this dummy is trying to force fights 20k soulds behind and the poor ritualist stuck two entire brackets above his level, still trying to grasp basic gameplay interactions.
Please volvo, let me back into the fun ranks, I'm scared
EDIT: Another guy I was talking to said he peaked phantom five, and the Archon lobbies he's been in playing with his initiate friend have been several times more serious than his natural Phantom games. Something is definitely up.
