So let's get straight to the problem. Playing on the main account and stuck at the Archon rating, I wanted to check what would happen if I calibrated on an account that had never played Deadlock.
I'll say right away that I didn't go in to kick weak guys and make fun of them, I specifically didn't do it for them in games in which the team didn't go to destroy buildings, I didn't kill enemies in their forest, interfering with farming, I only made frags on my half!
As a result of 7 matches, I was awarded Arcanist, which amazed me, because below I will provide screenshots of games in which you can see the statistics.
The first problem with matchmaking, in my opinion, is the complete disregard for player stats, literally only whether you won or lost decides.
The second problem with matchmaking is the leavers. Players literally leave any matches, regardless of whether they win or lose. As if they suddenly turn off the computer and go do their own thing.
The third problem follows from the second. People entering the game and starting the game simply do not realize that they are playing a ranked match. They literally enter and play public, interfering with other players who are focused on a full-fledged competitive game.
The fourth problem is the smurfpool. It is not in the game, how many people like me are there who play at a medium/high rating and enter a low rating, but not for the purpose of experimentation, but simply to mock the players. (I encountered this in one game, at the end of the game I gave him a report describing smurfing. But let me remind you, there is no feedback from reports in the game. Here is the thread in which I raised this topic *click* )
Well, to summarize, now the game is divided into 3 groups of players. Everyone below the ritualists are just fangamers, with the rare exception of prisoners of a bad rating system. Ritualists - Phantoms 3, players who have good skill in the game and try to reach high ranks, but also suffer from terrible ELO distribution. Phantoms 3+ are literally a high MMR caste of players who have firmly established themselves at this rating, regardless of losses and wins (I have seen a sufficient number of streamers who have a big losing streak on Eternus, but at the same time do not receive any change in the rating even by one position)
I hope that the thread will be noticed by the developers and I will not be punished for smurfing, since I did it for research purposes and do not plan to continue playing on the account I used. Updated: continue playing on account to get more info about rank system

I have arranged the screenshots from the last to the first game.
