We need to talk calmly about the Gold rank in this game.
I don't know if Gold players can chime in, but I'd like to talk about the experience of being in this percentile.
It's, quite honestly, a huge gap.
You can have a game where someone forgets to build villagers and reaches Age II at 7 minutes completely naked.
And the next game, you have someone who knows all the counter units, micro-speaks perfectly, and has 160+ APM.
The skill gap is absolutely insane at this rank, and I'm sure that in higher ranks, the skill gap narrows.
So yes, of course, there's smurfing, but that can't explain everything.
What do you think?
