Diamond 3-4 here.
Most of my games result in 2-4% increases (obviously, as I’m playing more often against lower ranks) but the extent to which this happens is insane. Yesterday I was playing a 2v2 where the game crashed and all players (both teams) were given resign penalties, to make up for a resign penalty at the current usual rate it takes 30 victories … Couple that with the odd game matching against double kinsano b/s which results in losing fairly large % and it’s ridiculous.
I know it may be because of the low population on PC but I would rather not find a match against significantly lower ranked players with the stakes at +2%/-30% or worse. It’s risking so much to gain so little.

That’s a good point but I honestly think it’s just because of lower population… I think higher ranked players are already in games when you are searching and it gives you lower levels.

Well don’t get bummed out yet. There’s no population counter so we don’t know for sure. All the more reason to add one honestly.

Well I’ll be making the jump soonish, I’ve been playing since launch on the XB1 but I want to be able to play it on PC too.
