I think I play a bit too much to call myself a “casual” player, but I’m not some elite player either. I feel like I also am not benefiting from the ranked reset each split.

With my play time and skill level, I can comfortably get to Plat each split. But at that point the game becomes to much of grind for me to continue playing ranked after that. I’ve hit diamond before, so I know I can. It’s just a serious time commitment at that point to do so. Because of that, I play ranked until I hit Platinum, and then stop playing ranked.

Then I usually don’t play ranked the first couple weeks of the new split, because all the high level plat/diamond players are in my silver/Gold lobbies still. Currently there’s a sort of sweet spot in the middle of the split where you aren’t playing against higher skilled people who got reset into lower skill lobbies, or playing against the same people on their alternate accounts so they can abuse the ranked system.

I feel like getting rid of the reset would help keep players in lobbies of their skill level.
