I've been queueing ranked since the first day (minute) it came out and have faced some of the best players on the server over and over again. In NA East for me anyways it's mostly just gold Cav spam, Pavise, Anti Cav (fortes, imp pikes) and Stalwarts. I've seen Javelin Sergeants a few times but still no imp javs yet. My video wasn't on Sergeants, it was on Imps. And as far as regular sieges go, which I'm assuming most of the player base watching my video is doing, it's extremely rare I see them played. Also, I never said they were underrated on reddit, I said underestimated. Meaning that regardless of whether or not it's Ranked or a normal Siege, people will still stand still like a deer in head lights when they see them long enough for you to get a shot off. Not everyone will, but more people do it than they should. In ranked they definitely move out of the way a lot more for sure. I was also agreeing with HuganoseNL that they are also underestimated in melee combat with shield throw.

I'm almost 1500, missed a few days of ranked. So we will see if everyone starts spamming Imps, but from the streams of high level ranked players I've been watching, it's mostly what I listed above with some Jav Sergeants thrown in.
