Competitive Ranking Bug

In the past month I have gone from

Gold 1 → Plat 5 → Plat 4 → Plat 2

and THEN, after NOT VERY MANY GAMES

Plat 2 → Gold 2 → Gold 4 → Silver 4 → Silver 1

I think something is severely broken with the ranking system. It should not be possible to de-rank 5 ranks in a row. That is bizarre. This is only happening on my support role consistently, but has happened once on my DPS role.

Please fix, I’m having fun just playing the game, but without a sense of accurate progression it is pretty demoralizing.

I’m seeing some similar issues:

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 about players with those exact bugs if you’d like to read more about it. Comprehensive Thread Of All Top 500/Competitive Bugs. I put your thread under: Incorrect Rank Adjustment. 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.
