EPTI am playing on NA, the environment is pretty okay.
My friend on EU is getting a lot of toxic people. They have each other "Hate russian" etc.... in reality, the war in Ukraine only lost us so many good gamers on both side.

Very happy with where I am though. Everyone plays their heroes somewhat competently. Lots of voice comms. Haven’t had a useless feeder in quite a while. All games are close (at least at some point). I predict to get placed somewhere around rank 6-8 out of 11 but that could be completely wrong lol. Streamers I watch are still playing a completely different game though. That movement, those soul orb flicks, never gonna get close to that level xd | ||

I agree. This game can sink its claws in you. I like it a lot. I'm back to playing Lash. Buying majestic leap pretty quickly is a gamechanger. Originally I thought it was redundant, as you've already got the ability to fly... but nah, it's necessary. Amazing engages, great mobility, good for escapes. | ||

The quality of players is noticeably lower than in both my placement games and my unranked games, I'm not sure how the algorithm placed me here. Maybe because I ended on a 4 loss streak in placement. According to tracklock, my placement games had Emissary IV and Emissary V as 'match average rank'. Not all ranked games were tracked though. Either way I don't mind, I'm dominating my lanes. My opponents don't even go for denies at this level, and they overextend often, giving me easy kills. I hope to go up a full 6 ranks and get at least Emissary III next week. Ended my last game as 11-1-12 on Seven lol. | ||

Ended my last game as 11-1-12 on Seven lol. I also got placed way lower than I should have been, I think (and am pretty similar to you in both current rank + the rank of matches played last week). I'm lower than every single one of the people I usually play with (most of which I think are pretty similar skill level) despite having a 66% winrate over 14 ranked games last week and all of my friends having negative winrates, and looking at tracklock's average match MMR for those games, I'm a full medal lower than any of the games I was tracked in last week. The only thing I can figure is that playing with some very new people a month or so ago must have tanked my unranked MMR in some way that made my ranked MMR get initialized weirdly? But it's still strange to me that I was playing and winning in higher ranked games for the majority of last week and *still* got placed a fair amount lower than that. I'm winning all my lanes pretty hard as well, but I much preferred the closer games of last week, so hopefully I get a reasonable promotion. The rank distribution looks pretty weird to me relative to most other games, wonder if that's intentional or just ratings that haven't spread out enough yet or something: https://tracklock.gg/ranks | ||

People are also pretty nice though it must be because i m not in ranked yet. For a alpha/pre alpha build it s really good Honestly people are just generally nice most of the time, even in ranked. It's definitely gone downhill a bit as it gained popularity (I started playing when it had like 2000 concurrent users, everyone was like universally nice then), but my bad experiences with people have been pretty minimal across all modes. Definitely way less than e.g. DotA or League. That's for NA servers though, can't speak for the rest  | ||
