We all see how the ranking system is working. However, it seems there more negatives than positive gain pontential.
Lets discuss the win/loss streak bonus
Yes, its great if you win so many in a row, you get a nice win streak bonus.
However, I propose that you get rid of the loss streak penalty.
Mainly because if a person is going to lose, the will drop anyway,
helps frustration for losses out of players control.
also will help against boosters who derank on purpose.
lose streak penalty really isnt needed in the grand scheme of things.

I kinda get it I mean if you’re losing that much, probably means you’re just outclassed in that rank and they want to bring you down to the true level as quick as possible

How many games do you need for a winstreak? I’ve had multiple ones of 5-6 games and never got more than 24% meanwhile sometimes I lose one game and it costs me 35% for no reason, very confusing.

yes but thats going to happen naturally to everyone. Loss streak penalty is not needed. There have been so many leavers lately, and its odd its happening more now than ever before, perhaps some do take advantage of the loss streak to derank then boost.
It really isnt needed. There are more penalties in losing rank than gaining at the moment.
Its also kind of toxic mechanic.
The only ones it helps really are derankers to boost and smurfs. This is another reason at lower ranks is much more deficult to climb. “elo hell” is what they call it.?
Have a system that promotes to go up, but eventually you will stop at a rank, if you cant climb higher due to skill
Like wtf is this ranking system, I lose a game because we have a leaver, -26% reversal and volatile, then I have to literally carry a game to have some hope of winning and I get 17% expected, it’s so bad.
Open Queue is such a sht show, full of throwers and on top now we have this garbage ranking system making it impossible to climb even as a GM role queue.

I understand having a loosing streak penalty but it’s so demotivating to loose 41% of your rank in one go.
I feel like I work so hard to rank up but the loosing streak penalty costs me so much of that progress. It doesn’t feel balanced or fair, especially when having bots and leavers in the games contributes to these losses, but going on a win streak never outweighs the loss.
