Can someone explain, in detail, how the ranking system decides how much to rank you down ?
I’ve been on 10 match win streaks then I’ll hit one loss ( I’ll still go positive KD) then get dropped like over 10 rank points!!!
This is so frustrating!

As far as I can tell it works like a rubber band.
There’s the rank it displays, and then there’s you’re hidden MMR, which is where the game really thinks you belong.
If your visible rank is lower than your MMR, you will get more positive progress than negative, once you cross that threshold it reverses, and the game will reward wins less and less and penalize losses more and more.
This is why slaying out is so much better for your rank than winning or losing, because your hidden rank is performance based instead of win/loss based, which means you’re more likely to push your hidden MMR and the game will start rubber banding you to higher numbers.
TLDR; the game thinks you’re at an appropriate rank for your skill level so it’s purposely bouncing you back to it.

Right i get it ! Keep playing my KD , especially on matches when it defo going to be a loss
Pretty much. If the trueskill system sees that you are consistently outperforming at your level it will nudge you up again.
It makes sense how it works. But honestly, I think wins and loses should factor in to MMR more than just performance otherwise. Because it’s a team game. If you can’t work well with a team, and you keep losing, then your not a good ranked player in my opinion, even if you have a high KD. Maybe you’d be a good lone wolves player.
You do raise some good points there ! Yes it feels when we win and eveyone puts in the same amount of score, that i barely go up ( no difference to if i slayed and we lost)
