Hello
What the hack is wrong with ranking system. I was platinum VI with 20% progress in HCS. I played against matched or higher rank players. In 10 games i won 8. Actually iam platinum VI 52% progress now. HOW IT IS POSSIBLE . Iam not playing against lower ranks , and 6 wins in row gave me literally 0% progress , but one loss (against higher ranks ) and i lost 40% of progress bar. Can someone explain to me this -Yoink-? Iam diamond in other playlists.
Shocker, another complaint about the ranking system. Good thing WZ req changes were a priority… Your answer is TS2, there are many forums discussing it. This forum will probably get locked since you aren’t praising the new changes.

Go to the match making feedback section and read the top pinned thread. Right now it’s kinda an adjustment period for the new true skill ranking. Basically some players have had an over inflated CSR so some won’t gain much even with a win. It’s all complications from having hidden ranks that didn’t match ranks players saw. This is why I have always hated hidden ranks. A player should always know excatly where they stand.
I’m in the same boat. Highest I placed this season was diamond 5 in FFA with 5 wins (not on this account), but my competition was lots of onyx players. I also placed in diamond 3 in team arena and crawled to just barely diamond 4.
Rank inflation was a problem, so the system is trying to correct your ranks. CSR was out-of-sync with MMR, which explains lopsided matches in which diamonds matched onyx players. If your rank is inflated, in an effort to close the gap between CSR and MMR, you will get basically no CSR for winning but still go down if you lose. The changes are meant to prevent players from ranking up despite doing abysmally and still winning. The system will also start everyone at a CSR further behind their MMR than usual next season so as to further combat inflation. From the sound of things, these changes are meant to punish anyone who would usually be the worst player on their team and still gets to a high rank.
Here’s the thread on the ranking changes.
Dr. Menke and others have been discussing this at length in the Matchmaking feedback topic linked in the post above. It is advise able to read the fist post and his posts on the last few pages as they explain everything that is going on.
