Indeed I think we all agree with that.
That's why I sugested the option of playing in a non ranked multiplayer mode where you can be rewarded and strengthen your army, but without the pressure of a ranked match.
I also think a non ranked multiplayer mode with decent exp and ducats (compared to ranked) is important to keep new players in the game, because no one likes to be forced in ranked matches when they are new in a game or just want to improve a new army/unit, ending up by losing almost every match and have it recorded in their victory/losses history.
