Would someone please explain to me how a friend and I can PvP duel against each other? Ranked 1v1? I tried several times setting up matches this morning. We saw each other in the queue but couldn't manage to battle each other. :( Thanks!
You can only join ranked pvp matches through the quick join feature. this is to keep people from abusing the point system and 'cheating' to get one person's rank up by having another person forfeit to them. the only way to choose your opponent is in practice pvp. Otherwise, keep trying and maybe you'll get lucky and face each other. -eli and crew
They actually don't want people to ranked PvP with friends because that is a way people have found to get really easy rank, and get to higher ranks without really working because their friend, or even them on a different account can just flee and give them free rank.
