Just curious as to why it's impossible to rank up to plat in anything. Been playing 2 with a buddy of mine and were probably gold maybe low plat at best. Only playing masters and diamonds and even if we do win we don't rank up to plat lol.

If you're playing only masters and diamonds regularly, you should be ranking up past what you are now.

Just give it time.

Yeah I have, all last season and this season. Still can't hit plat lol, had a 2:1 win ratio, 70 points ahead of the next person in my division and 10 games latter 5 wins ( against real gold/plat) and against fake gold/plat who are masters/diamond 1v1. No plat lol, just getting really frustrated with kids who are wayyyyyy better then me, with no end in sight. If I lose a few in a row I play complete noobs and It's impossible to rank

it's based on mmr...mmr isnt high enough, you dont rank.

yes I know this... I just don't understand why I have to beat kids who are so insanely outside of my skill range to go up one rank. I believe we've beaten 3 master teams since we've been in spot 1 and still not gone up. Maybe I'm crazy but I'd think they would have better MMR then me.

if you're paired against masters it means they're insanely below their skill rank to be playing you so it evens out
you beat them and you get promoted
they lose to you and they get demoted
stop crying and play the fucking game

Lol I'm still playing and I'm not crying, just trying to make sense of this. First master team we played we beat.... did not rank up. Soo.... being up 60 points and beating a master team isn't good enough to go plat. I'm just really confused on how the fuck the system makes sense. If it wants to try and rank us up to diamond or masters you would think it would stop making us play 5 pro teams (winning 2 on average) then playing 5 scrub teams (winning 4 on average) over and over again. played over 50 games so far and still can't move past gold, where we started.

Once again just trying to make sense of it, that is all. Think I'm going to have to stop actually playing and just cheese my way to plat so it's done and over with.

50 games is not alot.You will ein about 50% of the games you are matched with. Till you are ranked where
You only win 40% or so. You know you will rank when your win % is above 55.

Win % is still about 2:1 , lil bit less now lol. So...... once again, help me make sense of this. Just won 4 in a row after we lost 2 to masters.

Why the fuck is it so hard for people to understand a basic MMR/Elo system? Jesus fuck.
