Ranking system is awful

Hello,

I keep getting knocked in competative down 4 or 5 levels each time i re rank. Sure i lose some games but that seems too harsh of a drop. I went from gold 5 to silver 5 and then worked ky way up to silver 3 to be knocked back down to bronze 3 for support. This massive knock down in ranks makes it literally impossible to climb back up. I just want to be able to playand be able to improve not to be constantly knocked back down once i climb up. Please look into this as it is extremely frustrating. I have been playing overwatch for years and i know its not because of my skill level.

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 about 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.
