Obviously, newbies won’t have a high chance of ranking extremely high for the reason being that they’re newbies. When I was a newbie, I didn’t rank high in the archeutch events because my teams were obviously crap at the time (like any newbie’s team would probably be). Now that I have tons of experience and many good cards thanks to free summons, I’m better at the game even though I’m still an average ranker.

“high ranker will get better cards ~ while weak players will stay weak.” Well duh. Survival of the fittest. Those who have weak teams are less likely to rank very high
