I just had a game versus AI, and we had a rather lousy healer who focused more on attacking rather than healing, that happens BUT that did make me want to check his stats to see if we were dealing with a new player, here is what i can’t help but wonder. He was in silver rank 5 had played for 8 months, BUT had only played 3 games in total in storm league, 19 QM games and the rest was AI games so here is the question, according to his profile stats, as i said, he had only played three ranked games, how does one achieve silver rank 5 when they have only ever in total played 3 ranked games?

This would of most likely being their ranking placement as in Storm League, you now only require 3 matches to get a placement rather than 5 or even 10 as it used to be back in previous versions of HotS.
Unfortunately I am not sure how HotS, calculates a players placement ranking and if any statistics from games played such as, Exp contribution, Siege / Hero Damage and so on, would have an impact on the overall placement given.

Correct, you just need 3 placing matches and decided on how well these rounds go, you get placed… more often than not you end up in bronze/silver seemingly regardless of how well you and your team have played.
