    3. Why does Zen have such a high win rate

    1. Only going against people significantly higher ranks than me. Makes game not enjoyable at all.
    2. It gets to a point man. Bronze 2 Tank, Hundreds of hours in the game, rank in free-fall
    3. Was I really the sole reason our team lost in this match?
