I personally feel that the penalty or rank drop when you lose a ranked match is far too much. I was at the borderline of "Not Bad" bronze and due to one AFK member I dropped 1 bar back to "Getting There" gold borderline. In order for me to reach "Not Bad" I had to play more than 1 match as each match would only fill up 1/3 of a bar. I found it frustrating as the proportionality for losing one match in "Not Bad" rank is unfair. Logically, if I lost one match , it should by logic take me 1 match to get to "Not Bad" rank, instead of 2 or 3. Does anyone agree with me? 😂 (it also seems like I'm stuck at a tier forever :( )

I feel you! Something weird on my game is that the bar doesn't fill. I just see the rank change.

The rank is just a representation of how many wins you get over losses. If you get penalized less than getting rewarded, the higher ranks would just get filled with people that aren't really that good.

The ranking system is completely fair. If you dropped a lot after a loss, it means that you were facing people who were at much lower ranks than you. Meanwhile, if you only climbed a little after a victory, it means you were still facing much lower ranks. The system works in a way that if you face harder people, you will rise much faster when you win, but if you face easier people, you will barely move up after a victory.

I was just playing a Ranked match and lost half a xp bar if not more because 2 people just decided to quit and stand in the starting area.. so how is that fair to me? and by the way those 2 people were both very inexperienced in playing their role which was why I put a post up about regulating/restricting people who can play ranked matches until they meet a minimum standard so they have a good grasp or fundamental understanding of the game and the characters they choose to play. It is going to probably take me 3-5 matches if not more to just get back to where I was that's approximately 2 hours if not more.

I think that it's fair for higher ranked people, but not fair for lower ranked people. Since the Compression squished people in some skill tiers together, there is the chance that you will play with someone who has less experience - because before the compression, they would've been a tier lower.

Higher ranked it's okay because all that changed was that they were one skill tier lower. Only the lower ranked were greatly affected.
