Who knows, maybe I'll go from Crystal to Platinum one day, if that happens I'll adjust, learn some strategies, play new jobs, try to diff a weak player. That's how it should be in ranked PVP.

As long as lower rank queues keep popping and give you a chance to climb back up. I'm curious what this "dynamic matchmaking" will look like in practice, maybe it will fix the issue of low rank queues dying.
That's the problem. Yes, it sounds good in your mind, it sounds good on paper, but there's so many factors that have to be applied in the long term that has to make sense. The more I think about it, you not going to have.........the matchmaking is going to decline going platinum on up after a week or 2. That's what I'm predicting once the patch launches. I'm saying it right now. No one likes constant promotions and demotions. It's not because they suck at it, it's because it's hard to gamble with 4 other players that you can't truly communicate with. That's going to be the biggest hurdle. This feature will make or break CC.
