When did you start?

I picked up RLSS as something to do during down time at work, first played towards the end of S17.

Couldn't make it out of shortstack back then, couldn't really play at all. Only played on touch, had a bad form for holding the phone and didn't realize how much of a skill gap was required. I couldn't even beat the intermediate bots at that point.

Flirting with Diamond 2 today, get bored with bots for warm-up so I do something less ethical instead. It's nice playing against people who are a lot better than I am so I can see what skill sets I lack or need to focus on more, but it is frustrating sometimes running into undercover agents who do the unethical thing that I do, but use my rank instead of gold/plat as warm up... Hurts my fee-fees.

XD Anywho, just wanted to see if anyone was willing to post their first time on and the progression of improvements made to get to their current rank.
