I literally went down 300 places in about 10 games :O Didnt even lose them all, and have over 800 tourny games since they reset the roster. Anyone else experience this? Seems like it ignores all but the last few games you play.

10 games out of my 900 shouldnt make much difference imo. The more you play the more your rating should be settled

Or your rating is only a few points higher or lower than those around you, and others are going up and down as well. If the MMR spread is small it doesn’t sound like an issue.

I think it is more of a matter of them making sure they like their own algorithm and once it gets fine tuned they will probably throw it up. Every game does it after time.

So 8 games or something out of 850 matters enough for 300 spaces on the leaderboard? It makes no sense.

I think this points to a bigger issue. Say you go 300-0 and then lose 15 games in a row. You will end up down at rank 500 or something despite being 300-15. This isnt how it should work. It should not ignore your past play at all. I really am confused lol. I went from rank 44 to rank 400 in about 10 games going 3-7.
