Is ranked getting harder?

How long have you been at your current rank? Do you think it was easier or harder when you first reached it vs now?

I hit gc recently and now I wanted to get the champ rewards on my alt. Because it's only my barely used 2nd account, it is ranked d2/d3. Now I tried to solo q to champ (I've done that a few times before on my main) and got lobbies, which were harder then my gc lobbies. Maybe it's because they play so different from gcs and I can't adapt to their play styles or I'm just ass. But either way I can't remember d3s being so good. There's players who reset and double tap on me - the last time I was in low d3 the players flew over the easiest balls. Idk if it's just me but I have a feeling that especially diamond 3 is way harder to get out of this season.

I really dont feel like its harder i just feel like each rank have different play styles… trust me ik, i went down to c1 div4 from c3 div3 bc (well i was playing bad) but every time I deranked the play style and gameplay was changing (i got c3 again btw :) )

Yea the playstyle difference from c1 to c3 is insane, even though c3 is basically c1 with a little more control + less booming the ball, I have problems in c1 and can play normally in c3

@Le_B0sS fr that's what I always try to tell diamond who think they are better then me because they can triple flip reset or sum like that...Alright nice you spent 200 hours learning how to do that and now you're still d3. Also you can't use this in a higher ranks because they instantly challenge and score. Congrats, you could've just played 200 hours and you would be c1 for sure but no, learn useless stuff and say "oh no I should be gc and you don't deserve it because I can triple reset and you can't" These flashy things look good yea but get instantly shut down. I can't even flip reset properly in game (most of the time) and still am gc.

No, I would think being a 1s main made you get there faster than you would have without playing 1s

Interesting. I hit c2 for the first time a couple seasons ago and climbing through c1 almost felt like smurfing. Now it’s a battle all the way there lmao

i do believe it is getting harder, but not for me. No to sound cocky, but Im improving faster than ranked is getting harder.

I think the lower ranks are too inconsistent to get a proper feel of what your opponent should be capable of
