Won't rank up in Competitive

I’ve stayed at Bronze 3 about 6 times now even though I’ve mostly won. I’ve been playing with my friends that are in Gold and Silver and I can keep up with and even exceed them in terms of performance in matches. It doesn’t make sense to me. I’m new to Overwatch and started about a month or 2 ago. Maybe they think I’m smurfing, but I’ve just played many FPS games before.

The 5 win 15 loss system doesn’t preventing your true rank from changing it just prevents you from being able to see it changing. Assuming your win-loss ratio is exactly 1, your rank shouldn’t change. Rank adjustment is purely based on wins and losses and not individual performance so if you are winning more than you are losing, then you should climb ranks and vice versa. You might also be experiencing either the bug that prevents your rank from being adjusted or the bug in which during a rerank, your initial rank is demoted five subdivisions before the adjustment takes place. There’s tons 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. Any help in spreading the word about this thread would be greatly appreciated.
