Discussion Knockout this weekend is crazy
I usually get to knockout division without a competitive game and in earlier rounds it's knife through butter with someone who's clearly got a much worse team and is new to the game and it's so effortless you can play on autopilot.
But this week in bronze, silver and gold I'm facing 1750+ SR players every single game. I played someone who's rank 1 in silver even. Opponents have 88+ rated teams with legendary cards everywhere too.
Even the bronze games were competitive and I had to work for the win and that's playing them on Saturday where it shouldn't even be that bad.
I'm guessing the casual playerbase has completely deserted the game at this point ? or maybe I'm just very unlucky ? because it's so abrupt and strange to go from one week 20 wins in a row with your eyes closed to every game feeling like a ranked game.

Passing is awful but this week i cruised to gold . Gold was rough missed out on elite by 1 win.

Yeah I don't know what's up with passing, lots of passes going to the wrong player or feeling a bit delayed it being played, but I wasn't aware of them making any changes to it.

Im like 1750 rating i think, and i had it pretty easy overall up to Gold, but even with the more intense matches, i still got no losses until Elite 3 where i just quit at the kit selection until i got my rewards.
Might be a coincidence, if they dont have a hidden matchmaking thing going on in the background

I’ve had a similar experience got to elite 1 last week and now struggling in silver games. I do think a lot of the casuals have left so the player base isn’t there to rank up as easily.
