Unfair Rank System -- 1 loss = 3 subranks / 1 win = 1 subrank

It feels absolutely impossible to rank up with this system. I was Arcanist six in a Ritualist three lobby and even got the key player on team, BUT the game decided to demote me three sub ranks? Each win only gives you ONE sub rank regardless of performance. Some games I only lose 1 or 2 subranks but almost always in higher elo lobbies I lose EXTRA even if I do well? I don't really understand how this system is meant to be fair.

If the game forces you into lobbies above your elo and then punishes you for not winning even if you do well then how are you supposed to be motivated to keep playing? This has been happening to me for two days non stop. I keep getting thrown into Ritualist 3 or 5 at random points and when I lose it removes all the progress I made. I had to win three games in a row to get back to my position and it was all lost in 1 game.

Is it just because my account is relatively new? I don't get it.

They need to add some sort of system to determine how much you lose and how much you gain; it's not even a difficult thing to create. The lower mid elo pools are insanely congested with players who should not be there. This goes for players who are below that rank and are there and players who are above that rank and stuck there.

I really enjoy playing this game but forcing every player into ranked and then creating an unfair ranking system makes no sense. You need to win four out of FIVE games in order to rank up; how is someone supposed to realistically achieve an 80% winrate in a team game when they aren't in an elo where they're basically smurfing? It feels awful for the players like me who are in the middle-lower ranks.

I stopped playing player matches after ending up in games where people kept going 1/10 or worse.

Just playing some bot matches/other games until matchmaking gets fixed.

My friend, who has only played 14 games and is (no offense) around Alchemist level, genuinely got Archon after like 10 matches played, being mostly negative each game. The ranks are kinda super fucked.

i got up to ritualist now but I had to win like 5 games in a row and I was mvp in 3 im crying. They have to at least try and fix the rank system a bit </3.
I'm so tired of carrying every game because the matchmaking doesn't want to work. Nobody in these ranks knows how to actually play a MOBA they just chase kills and feed I wanna get out.
The game needs to measure your CS and prioritize objective damage in the stats more and use that to balance out your rank along with your KDA not just win/loss.
APPARENTLY they do this but it rly does NOT feel like that
