Hello everyone !

->What game should I join ? :
There is a rating system which tries to find the level of a player, so when you start you have 0 rating. So you can join the games like "all welcome", "under X rating"..and so on

->Rating system :
There are 2 rating :
-The one you see in custom games(it's the games you see in "find games tab"), called global rating.
-The ladder rating, which is only for 1v1 (1v1 automatch), and is not shown in custom games, only shown in leaderboards tab(then ladder rattings)
But just play and don't pay attention to that, it's here only to help for balancing a game.

->Some advices for the game :
To be honest, there are so many things to improve your skill...
-First I think it's great to watch the videos of this channel, it will help you a lot :

Have fun on this game, really a deep one and it has a huge learning curve at the beginning but don't worry, it's not that hard. There are all kind of players(good one but also beginners, you are not alone), and don't hesitate to ask for help on aeolus if you need something.
