I would try gold or diamond if I have the budget for it. Gameplay-wise, I think I can learn enough to be decent. I simply lack the budget to go up, even through renting. I have checked how much it is to rent at gold level and it's...a decent amount of money. Might not be a lot of money for some people but I have been doing badly in the recent bear market.
