This x1000. I think a lot of the frustration people have with ranked is because; 1. They don't understand who this content is made for and 2. They don't realize how much of a time investment it takes to actually see some decent results.

People clear ultimate raids in 200-300 pulls/attempts. For arguments sake lets say every attempt is nearly a full clear (15 minute long fight) That would be about 75 hours (4,500 mins) of playtime before finally getting a clear. If you took that same amount of time (4,500 min) and divide that by 5 minute CC matches, you'd only be at 900 games played, and assuming you manage to keep a 50% winrate, you'd only have about 450 wins which is barely even scratching the surface of starting to understand how to even play the game mode, let alone making top 100 or even getting any of the 1000 win achieves.

Now for a casual player, you've really gotta take a step back and be honest with yourself about what you're getting yourself into here. It is monumental, and very clearly designed for people who already enjoy doing this. For the people who do enjoy these extreme types of content, its amazing and literally the only thing they have. Don't force yourself to do content you clearly do not enjoy, and then call for it to be deleted for the people it is made/designed for imo.
