I do not understand why this game does not know who is good at it or what their skill level actually is, and then goes on to use this as a metric when deciding how many points to award or remove after comp matches end. There are times were my team is clearly better than the players on the other team and I get a TON of points (+148) but most of the time I'm going against players that are a little better than me (my opinion) and I struggle and when I lose those games, even though I should be "skill rated" lower, in theory, I lose like -150 points. Now in the same scenario if I clutch up and pull out a win in some crazy battle I get some piddly amount of points for the win, like +20. So what ends up happening is that I play for like 5 hours and go down a whole rank, because most of the time wins are worth only 1/3 to 1/4 the points that get removed from me when my team loses. Then on top of it, the few random matches I play that ended in a tie, even against a team that should have beat us, I still lose points. Why am I losing points if I did not "loose" the match? This whole thing is nuts. Why is this not just division vs division? Why am I facing people in Ascendent division while playing in platinum? Why do I lose massive points and gain no points when I win/lose against players clearly higher ranked than me? I don't know why I'm punishing myself playing this dumb playlist, but I want my guild on my glorious and I'm dumb and waited until the last weekend to do it. That's my bad. But this point system is insane and needs to be completely tossed in the trash. You should only be playing against people in your own division save for rank up series and occasionally you would get players worse on your team or the opponent team if there was someone in their rank up series in the match but that's it. And it should only be one rank +/- not 2 or 3. If you dont want ascendent players playing gold players, then if they are that good give them like 500+ pts per win until they are in the division you think they should be in in. But most of all, get your skill rating algorithm under control because its completely broken.
