I super begrudgingly got into PVP for my level 44 requirements and ended up falling in love with it. I'm currently at rank 20 via Ultra League/Ultra League Premiere. Got straight thrashed across a 5 battle set once I hit level 20 but I'd doing a little better, closer to 50/50 now.
My question: I see that to achieve Ace rank, I need a rating of 2000. My current is ~1770. I get that raising my rating means win more than I lose, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around any specifics. Does anyone have experience with PVP and some insight into the rating structure? I'd love to know what ratio of wins vs losses I need to maintain, any minimum win count I need, and anything else that a newbie wannabe Ace trainer should know.
I also read that the early battles (before rank 20) can affect rating and was wondering about that. I had a rough start trying to figure out my team through trial and error the first few days I was in the Ultra League. Did I bomb my chance of ever getting to a 2k rank early on with that?
