    I can't deal.

    I was 1279 two days ago and now I am flirting with 900.

    Why am I training bronzes in exchange for losing my rank? Will Yoshida apologize with a set of PvP armor?

    There's a reason more than half of the players in top 100 stop queuing after reaching what they feel is a safe enough amount of rank points. Trust me you are not the first to go from mid 1000s (though in your case its low 1000s) down to 900 or lower nor will you be the last either unfortunately. All anyone can tell you is its something everyone is dealing with and the next time you're in good point standings you should just stop queuing if you really care about getting the armor (which from the 3.3 preview video is pretty ugly but eh its a bragging item more than anything I suppose so it doesn't matter).

    I would prefer not having to game the system in order to enjoy competitive, ranked PvP; if people don't care about the rewards, there's a non-competitive, unranked queue for funzies.

    If you care so much about rewards you should make an alt character. Once you reach the ''comfort zone'' in the 100 go pvp on your alt.

    I can relate to this lately, I'm on an absolutely brutal streak. Was 1 win away from Plat on my qualifier, and it's been all downhill since then. I seem to be consistently getting lower rank DPS on my team, versus mid/high gold DPSs. I actually lost a match earlier where the kills were 2-1 in our opponents' favor -- we hit level 4 Culling Time and couldn't come close to killing their 5 stack tank.

    It's really frustrating when it feels like your healing is never quite good enough. I haven't played the best during this stretch, but the imbalanced matchmaking just seems to be exacerbating it quite a bit. It's a really helpless feeling.
