Rank is stuck / working in a way I don't understand

Since I've started playing the game my rank has been Initiate II and hasn't moved since then. Over my last 24 games my winrate has been over 70%, and I feel like something should be happening. The average skill rating of all my games is also Initiate II. I understand the idea of having the ranked system be opaque, it prevents you from watching an elo number like a hawk, and helps people be less toxic to each other and themselves, but I feel like I should have ranked up by now. I've also heard tell of there being a giant chasm of rank at Initiate that I have to climb out of, but, I don't know. Over all my lifetime games my winrate is pretty squarely 50%, but if I'm at the bottom of the rank tiers shouldn't it not work like this? The experience feels like something is broken.

Their current system is super unforgiving. My MMR ranges from Low Em to Phantom. But i also constantly get people who obviously dont understand how to play a moba in general or immidiatly say "2nd game on this hero".

So it take s alot of games to go up but only 1 or 2 to losses to go back down. So you make minimal progress if any at all. Especially if you hit a lose streak.
