The ranking system is seriously broken. I just had an 11 game win streak and my rank has not gone up in a single game. After that I’ve kept playing and I can only lose my rank, but whenever we win nothing happens.
It’s been the same wether I’m MVP, highest objective scorer, playing against hired ranked players etc.
Is the ranking system broken, or am I experiencing a bug?
Likely neither. The ranking system is designed to keep your CSR (rank) close to your MMR (skill). If you are winning and not going up in rank, it probably means your skill just isn’t going up. If you’re playing in Elimination, though, there may still be an issue with that playlist specifically.

Also pasts versions of this thread have previously broken down the current ranking system, how it works, and why it was changed. You can find a list of past feedback threads here.
Edit: a small percentage of players might be affected by a rank-related bug. A fix is in process. But only a small number of players are affected. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/58b8518e005f432381ab99fbcaf931e0/topics/matchmaking-feedback-update-%E2%80%93-august-31/bd0d524a-aeb1-432c-aa33-68e854a5125e/posts?page=7#post128
