FFA Ranks

Someone please help me understand the FFA ranking logic so I wont get angry at the results.

I just got 2nd place and went positive but lost CSR. If winning over lower ranks yields a drop in CSR or little movement but I have no ability to choose to play against players of my rank or higher, the game just died for me.

I dont know about you guys but I don’t have time to play games and place 1st or 2nd but lose CSR. Im sure this has been explained somewhere but when Googled, it brings up stuff from 2016.

You want to read through this thread. And the others in the archive that’s pinned.
