I wasn't being skeptical :o

It is just I happen to work with very similar massive data analyses these days where I'd have to remove bots and other noise first. I figured there is some analogy and ported it to this discussion, trying to be helpful

If I recall correctly, Master+ Players can and will (once in a while) get paired to Placement Matches as well. At least I've played against some of these.

But I fully agree with you, this should not affect much in the higher leagues.


Another possibility is that people maybe don't know how to abuse FTA. They're busy with their own game and stuff... so yeah, they probably won't all be trying to pick off the predeployed Medics to get an edge in a game.
I've entered so many games as P2 and only very rarely I could spot a Runner threat my Medic/Sniper on turn 1.
