its not busted. If you solo queue bronze is where blizzard thinks you belong.
As said above a patch is coming out and should address this craziness. GL all! glad it got noticed and they looked into it. 
I have the same problem, i have won 46 games for 31 lose and i cant move of Bronze 5, itâs frustrating and demotivating to keep playingâŠ

give it a bit and it should improve if your rank still does not after the patch was launched then from what they said it is a improvement/skill issue. (this isnât coming from me so donât come at me please).
It was finally addressed!
Competitive
- Many players were ranked too low during the first week of Overwatch 2, so we are implementing a boost as players continue to play games for those affected by this issue.
- Players who were ranked too low could have the feeling of being stuck in this rank. Moving forward, players should be able to climb the ranks in their first rank update assuming theyâre supposed to be higher based on their performance.
- Players who havenât ranked will not experience this issue after this patch.
P.S.- Screw all the people who said it was a skill issue and not a bug.

Finally!
Still sad that they didnt mentioned anything before.
Although I donât know the placement system in its entirety doesnât it also rely on stats and performance during the match(which may cause a difference between you and your friend)? Although I do agree that it seems very suspicious that people are unable to rank up at all.

As of October 14th, I have won seven games (and only lost a few) as support after getting wrongly placed in Bronze 5 and I didnât rank up. Iâm still in bronze 5 despite winning seven games. So, Iâm pretty sure that itâs still broken - doesnât seemed fixed (at least on my end).

So they dont admit if they are aware of it now or not. Like the last time.
I dont know if we can get another fix soon or, as it is solved for so much players now, it didnt have any priority.

Yup, itâs a bug for multiple ranks I believe. As Iâm silver 5 for 35 wins now with very minimal losses.
Around 2 per 7 win rating and after 5 sessions I saw this and honestly everyone of my friends telling me to just give up for now as we all play together and I have higher stats among them as well yet they all move up and are not platinum 4 or higher and I can no longer play with them
yup just went 6-0 lost two in a row. so went 7-2 and still bronze 5. all of the 7 wins we rolled them so bad. even had a game last 3:28 and i didnât died that game. the one lost we had someone leave. i dont get it at this point.
The wins/losses are just when it recalculates. They may also be part of the equation, but it takes your actual performance into account too. It should be possible to lose 20 and rank up or win 7 and rank down depending on your performance in your games.
