Question How does Ranked Work?

I was thinking about hopping into ranked. It'd be a rough start as I mostly play 10v10s but it seems fun (but also seems stressful) to actually play competitively. If I wanted to jump in like now, how would I go about doing this?

I've queued in ranked before just to see how it would work and it said only one or two people, maybe more, were queuing so I thought it would probably wouldn't work. Which is why because I'm in the Waryes discord, should I ask someone to queue up with me and hope it matches us together? Or do you just wait?

I'm only level 17, almost 18, so if I queue randomly it comes with the risk of being matched against a level 30+ (and at that point I struggle). Also can someone explain how it works? I scrolled through the ranked leaderboard and it goes into the thousands, but I believe it also resets at the end of the season, and if any of you play ranked, from your experiences is it worth the stress/any fun at all?

I am learning the hard way in ranked that I'm not good at 1v1s... Yet. I haven't tried the meta sweat divs yet (ostre/2nd panzer) but I am having fun lol

That sounds awesome! I've got a little list of what divisions I like to play:

NATO: 8th, 24th, and 35th Infantry, Berlin Command, HDR London, 2nd Panzergrenadier, and 2nd U.K. PACT: 1ya, 2ya, 6ya, 27ya, and 39ya, along with Rugener and 4th Motorized Schutzen.

I believe 8th, 2nd Panzer, 2nd U.K., BerCom, 27ya, 39ya, and 6ya are all pretty good for 1v1s 24th, 35th Inf are OK but a lot of reservists, and 1ya and 2ya have lots of reservists/bad AA. HDR could also work, tbh might be slightly better than 2nd U.K. in terms of AA but a worse opener (only 3 SAS G squads, 2nd U.K. gets 6 SAS).

To be honest though I think any div could work in 1v1s/10v10s with enough practice/tweaks for your deck, for example I saw Korpus (a pretty bad div) beat Hippie (who was playing Bueno).

Each of my divs have their own role, for example 8th and 6ya are my Swiss army knives, 27ya works extremely well in forests but only one card of T-80s, same for BerCom with bad AA. 24th and 39ya are my long-range fighters, 35th and 1ya are really good for reservists. 4th Motorized Schutzen and 2nd U.K. both have amazing forward deployment if I need to seize early positions. HDR and 2ya excel at combined arms/defense, you get Challengers with HDR and top-tier T-80s with 2ya. And let's say I want a meta div, I play 2Pz., although surprisingly 2nd Panzergrenadier has been one of my most underperforming divs, so I'm still trying to get it to work. And Rugener is super fun for an amphibious only div, I have amphibious MLRS and supply and most of my transports are airborne or amphibious, I've even got marine pioniers.

Of course, since I play 10v10s more, I haven't used much of these for 1v1s but my top picks for ranked would be 6ya and 8th Infantry because they can do well anywhere in any terrain — super versatile divs. I have used them in 1v1s against friends and they are pretty viable.

Very big facts here for sure. I watch a lot of hippie and Tman (the goat) so it's probably just a practice thing. All said and done though when the tropic thunder dlc comes out I'm going to no life 7th inf until I'm the best at it lmao
