When the rankings were reset for the true season to start I had another go & guess what? Yep, the same - I wasn't a "recognised Feast player" (I had played a lot of Frontline & some WD) so the hate came. Now I don't bother, even though I think it would be fun. Primal ranked PVP is caustic.
You know what? Who cares what they said. You wanna battle? Get in there. It's hardly "practice" but there's the unranked 8v8, and now you can make custom 4v4 matches for practice. Duels are good for learning 1v1 scenarios and no-pressure matches.

Take the steps to learn what you need, then put your skills to the test. Where you succeed, keep it up. Where you fail, learn from it. You can do everything right and someone might still have an issue with it. The key is not to give up if you really want it.
