[2019] Advice sought a first time ranked player

Ranked for the first time can be a little intimidating especially if you are in a Rental ship. Be patient, try and work with your team, and try not to let any negativity bother you. These matches can become very heated especially for folks on the cusp of advancing ranks, but at the end of the day everyone wants to win.

Understanding the ship you are playing and how effective (or not) it is against opposing ship is important but will take time and experience. Also as you advance, understand Ranked does get more challenging so have goals in mind but be flexible if you aren't able to achieve them quickly.

Good luck and have fun this season!
