I believe there were issues before with overly harsh ranking causing many players to not be placed in the ranks they should have been. I believe my account may be still impacted by this bug. I have had near-perfect placements more than a few times this season and I either de-rank, stay the same rank, or only place 1 rank higher. My overall stats and that of the heroes I have the most hours on contradict being silver 5. I recognize it could very well only be a skill issue, however, I have had multiple matches with my support duo (we both queue support) in which the numbers on the scoreboard are generally the same, and our win/loss ratio for that placement is the same but they have placed two skill tiers above the rank they were and I do not rank, or de-rank. I just want to double-check and triple-check if it could be a bug. If not I will strive to do better in my matches.

You are not alone in experiencing this bug. Assuming your win-loss ratio is positive, you might be experiencing the bug in which during a rerank, your initial rank is demoted five subdivisions before the adjustment takes place. There’s a ton of posts under my thread under: Incorrect Rank Adjustment regarding players with those exact bugs if you’d like to read more about it: Comprehensive Thread Of All Top 500/Competitive Bugs. If you can, could you record your bugged rank adjustment, making sure that at some point in the video it shows your pre-adjustment rank, either from the queue menu or the career profile, and link that video to the thread? Any help in spreading the word about this megathread would be greatly appreciated.
