So I hit Legendary yesterday and I’ve played a few games since, winning most of them. I’ve noted that when I win my Legendary rank seems to be getting worse (incrementing instead of decrementing) instead of getting better. I also seem to be getting matched with mostly Gold10s-Plat5s instead of Legendary/Diamond players?
As you can imagine its quite discouraging to grind up to legendary and then start losing rank despite winning games when most streamers I watch and friends who play seem to be moving up or down 1k ranks whenever they play. Unsure whether this could be due to me matching with lower ranked players but then I guess the problem would be the matchmaking?
there are more people playing and winning, both in legend and in diamond 1. if more people moves past you in the ranking during your match than what you gain from winning the match then you will indeed drop in ranking while still winning.
