Searing, agonizing pain

The only sensation I feel when people tell me:
"I'm keen to try out PVP, I really want the archfiend armor"
"My friends are wanting to make a PVP team, how do we do that?"
"You're good at CC, right? Can you play with me?"
"You're always talking about ranked. What can I get out of it?"

(Early season)"I don't think I should play ranked anymore. Everyone is so much better than me already and I'm only silver" (Thank you hard ranking cutoffs forcing our best players to smurf)
"I can't get into games anymore! Have I been soft banned? Why does the queue say 30 minutes all of a sudden?"

(Late season)"I've been playing a lot of casual. Is there anything I should know before I step into ranked?"
"How long does it normally take to get into a ranked game?"

Please, end the pain. It's too much.

Anguish, holeplessness. Despair, even.

lol yeah i treat ranked as casual and just let the good times roll.

That early season vs late season really hits right in the heart...

...and so does the PvP team one. I honestly want to starthosting events and encourage team pvp. At least the option to duo queue in casual should be a thing, even if it meant mayhem initially.
