These ranks are a lie. I played in this forsaken match so I know they are a lie, and every time this system comes back with "oh this was a fair match" I know the game is lying. So the simple question is why the fuck are these in the game to begin with if they can't be even remotely correct.
Shiv just did NOT belong. His rank showed up to me as Eternus VI while i was playing in a 3 player lobby with none of us being higher rank than emissary. The match rank was like ritualist 1 or something. Needless to say the Shiv just took over the entire match.

It's not the first time this has happened; it's very common to join unbalanced teams where our team ends up with a negative score while the enemy doesn't. It feels very unbalanced, even with Extra Competitive mode activated. (I'm not sure if this mode is enabled by default, but it seems like you're matched with new players or those at completely different skill levels.)
I'll try to collect many Match IDs during the day to post them after 24 hours have passed.

Infernus had wallhacks and Haze probably had something too.
They were both 12k before the 12 minute mark and didn't miss 90% of the denies.
This was a low rank game and I thought we just had bad luck but the Infernus ahs less than 70 hours and the Haze has a VAC ban.
