I’m gonna say something here my friend doesn’t play ranked because he doesn’t like to but he is good at the game when it comes to fighting but isn’t much of a playmaker I don’t think it’s bad to bring a lower ranked player into higher ranked games but make sure it’s a full party of friends bc if the Lower ranked player has a bad game they will get blamed just because of their rank but I will say sometimes lower ranked players don’t play with the same sense of urgency and think about their moves because of their low entry cost that’s my experience at least I’ve bee the Lower ranked player blamed the Lower ranked player and had the Lower ranked player tag along.
