Rank Not Reflecting In-Game Performance

[flouxcomunity]

Just as the title says, i feel like the ranking in the game is broken and doesnt reflect ingame performance at all. This is such a terrible algorithm

i win i go up
i lose i go down
i think it works.

can you elaborate?

The thing is, when player count is low, game puts together people from a big range of ranks.
I was just in an Oracle game, altho I am not even an Archon rank.
I think many problems could go away if ranks of everyone are simply laid out before the game starts. With knowledge of everyones rank, i think this would also generate less false reports about smurfing and whatnot, because maybe that person is 2 rank categories ahead of everyone and isnt a smurf, its just the game matchmaker doing a funny thing.

I lose, but i have 0 deaths and 12 kills. I go down.

I win, but i didnt contribute to the win. I died all game. I was AFK, or something of the sorts.

Especially cause i play with randoms, and the decisions of others shoudln't affect my personal performance.

You catch my drift?
