You are ranked higher than players in this division

The new feature implemented recently seems to be misleading in role queue.

For example i completed my placements on support and i was greeted with the following competitive update screen.

It stated "You are ranked higher than 99% of players in this division"

The record was 5 wins - 3 losses

My rank before was Platinum 2 and after the update i remained Platinum 2.

After seeing my competitive update i queue again for a support match and we lost, due to the enemy team being a much higher rank and much better than the team i had.

So how is it possible to say i’m 99% higher but lose the following match or matches if i had continued to queue.

I am genuinely confused about this new game change, any explanations are welcomed.

I believe that this is referring to your “SR”. I think you can just consider that percentage as a gauge about how far till your next rank.

Yes you’re correct. It is regarding the SR

Well hopefully things go smoothly within the next placement if the percentage was right, thank you for explaining
