Has anyone ever had that point in a game where every time you reach it, everything just goes bad? For me, it’s reaching, or getting close to reaching, Rack 22 in matchmaking. I don’t know why, but at first, everything goes moderately fine. I win games, I lose games, but I make progress. But EVERY TIME I’m at Rank 21 or 22, everything just falls apart. Right now, I’m sitting at 24/25 in that stupid ranked wins monthly challenge, and just today and yesterday, I’ve lost about eight to nine games in a row. I’ve had everything happen from doing good, to doing bad, and my team is still losing. We get utterly crushed most games, but when we do well, we still lose 50-49. I even had one game where two enemy players quit immediately, and the two remaining players completely dominated us. In fact, I just quit the last I was in because one teammate was AFK, and the other team had already reached 20 kills before my team reached 10. This game just LOVES putting the two highest ranked pros on the enemy team. The last time this happened, my rank plummeted from 22, to 17. How many consecutive losses does it take for that to happen (Actual question BTW). So I’m calling it: Rank 22 is a cursed rank, because thing always go bad when I get to here.

I think we need a real ranked re-haul; give us the ability to search multiple ranked playlists at once just like in social, give us custom skins for earning rank 25, and special nameplates for reaching rank 50. Also we need to leave the ranked rotational hoppers in the full list permanently along with the aforementioned feature of mixtape matchmaking for ranked just like we have the Match Composer now for social. These QoL features combined with things like Party Matchmaking and decreasing the amount of wins it takes to reach a 50 would drastically increase player count back to the ranked modes again.
