Just learned how season resets work and I feel absolutely terrible! The game should inform you!

You care too much
Once I realized that I couldn’t reach 90 or 100 before the end of the season I started trying out decks, figuring what do I have to lose. I just learned from a friend that I actually have ten ranks to lose next season. THIS FEELS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! All of a sudden I’m being punished for playing and doing my dailies. Of course I lose a couple of games learning the new event and now I’m 79. This feels really bad. And I had no idea of any of this because this game is super unintuitive.
I don’t necessarily play enough games to get Infinite because of how busy I am, so these ten ranks matter a HUGE amount to me. This should be fixed. Or the game should warn you. Otherwise you get people like me feeling tricked.
Ranks don’t reaaallllly matter though do they?
Just have some fun, try out some cool decks.
Yeah ladder is a super casual mode. The retreat feature means anyone can reach infinite as long as they win more than 34% of their games and play enough (assuming you always retreat games without a guaranteed win. Losses are -1 cube and wins are +2). Average player will do better than that of course, as snapping on great starts and good RNG helps a ton. Ranked/tournament gamemodes will come eventually, but right now we just have this mode.
Just try to climb at least one more rank each season. Eventually you get there. I myself hope to reach 90 by today.
