The word “rank” just doesn’t mean exactly what it means in other games (where it’s simple win ratios or skill measurements). That won’t take away the fun of playing for me. But I probably WILL be tempted to buy some faster leveling-up at the beginning (once I’m comfortable with play/controls) and then after that let energy build on its own, happily playing for pure fun the rest of the time. OK, from this thread…

Are you sure that’s the case? Does a lack of paid energy actually keep a well-upgraded, skilled player out of ranked matches? Last I heard, “energy” is the only thing you pay for, and it’s only needed (along with some skill!) to earn upgrades more quickly—upgrades which you can then keep forever, so you haven’t paid for something that runs out, you’ve paid for upgrades you keep. True or not? Regardless, I’ll play it for free, but am only willing to PAY for DLC that I get to keep. (Nor do I mind waiting for a free recharge—I have lots of ways to pass the time :) ) If there’s a type of match (ranked) that you have to pay multiple times to keep playing, then that’s a mistake I think.
