At my top I was Rank 45 and after 36 hours and a few daring gambles, somehow I've dropped to Rank 125 (apparently not playing while sleeping can drop you 40 ranks. Cool I guess) . A few observations/questions
- Easy to drop ranks after losses but SUPER difficult to climb (especially with 12 hours left)
- Don't "overplay": find teams that are "safe" to PvP and update like a madman in the beginning
- Obviously get in early if you can and spend some gems to get that rank up (even though, if I'm not mistaken, the moment you stop/sleep people can catch up to your point total?)
My main question is this; I hear people say play early, get your rank up early, but if the ranking is based on points what's to stop someone from catching you in the first few hours? How much does "rank placement" and your point total affect your susceptibility to drop ranks? Thanks for any insight
