this question came to my mind:
naturally the higher my pvp rank, the tougher my opponents get.
so what if i waited until second half before playing matches so that i start at the low ranks.
theoretically, i should be facing noobs and winning more matches, thus giving me a high higher rating than if i were to start second half at a high rank like amethyst for instance.
is this the case or are your opponents during second half period picked based on your current rating?
