If you're ranked 1500+, there really is nothing to learn from being matched against top guys. They've got the best micro. End of story. It wastes their time and their opponents time, and is just not fun for anyone. This is why better games have ranking systems and tiers, and yet another reason why this game will continue to limp along.
If you want to learn something or get better look at replays etc.
Wait! This is the game that you have to use CELO for to figure out what you are ranked in the first place. Great game, but who is the puss that made the decision to not rank. Pathetic! Let me guess, its the same losers who don't want dodge ball or gym class in education. Such is the theme in this PC world.
Is that why you left yesterday when the match started? I'm pretty average, you definitely could have beaten me. I'm still learning strategies and meta for 1v1. Don't be so quick to judge - play the game no matter who the opponent. There is always something to learn. Thank you for the free win though
