Wasn’t it blizzards own words that winning was the only thing the ranking system takes into account? how is 5-2 not sufficient for a rank up?
because it’s not guaranteed. We’ll see fewer questions like this when they add the progress bar next season. It’s kinda confusing rn
Yup it’s confusing how 5-15 is like a goal but not a goal at the same time
Ive come to decide that its not always solely based on more wins than losses its also the lobby rating that decides. Recently I was having some games on Tank at the time i was Gold 2 or 3 i think. I was duo q with a friend who was plat 2 or 1 DPS , we noticed many times both on our team and the other that masters players were being dropped into the lobby. Some of the play was insane and it was just a different world to me i struggled big time. However we did win the odd one and then the lobby strength dropped , i went 5 for 7 and ranked to Gold 1. I think if ur 5-2 and not ranking either your just at the bottom end of your rank or your stomping lower ELO teams so the reward to beat them is not as high , much as if u lose to much higher ELO team the MMR/SR loss is not as big.
Your performance didn’t make any improvements through these 5 matches, MMR didn’t change because of that, so it still matches your current rank atm. Speaking differently you stuck, call for step bro to get u out.
In OW1 you would need to win 4 or sometimes 5 games more than you lose to advance one rank. I assume it is similar in OW2.
Could be two things.
-
Your not facing people of equal rank, say your rank is Plat, but your MMR is low it might put you in Silver lobbies, in which case a 50% win rate would result in a derank.

Your stats weren’t great. It will factor your performance into your gains / losses.
