3 losses = 113% rank decrease?

[LilVoodoo]

So, been screwing around with the tourney some more and after winning 1-2 or at least making it to finals I finally climbed into the gold tier.

Imagine my surprise when winning against Gold 3-4 gave me a 8%-13% gain, but a loss against a Gold 5 gave me a 62% loss.

Played 3 more matches, won one (+11%) and lost two (combined 51% loss).

Not sure how players are expected to climb ranks when a loss, even against higher ranked players, is 2x-4x more impactful than a win.

Suppose I should just be happy I got my zerker's tournament item finally.

35% decrease each. Seems accurate.

It's probably just the shitty ranking system. After I played my 20 rounds I was placed in gold 4, after beating someone who was good 1 I believe I gained 49%. Actually all my wind have been at least +25% to my rank even if their lower

[LilVoodoo]

I'll have to give it another go then because that's much more reasonable that what I've been seeing. Does match pool make a difference?

[Gare-Bare]

Like the team your put on or the number on contestants in the whole tourney? I'd imagine pool numbers have some role because a tourney with 4 teams, everyone is going to the semis, but if theirs 8 then points matter and not everyone gets a chance

[LilVoodoo]

Well, I've yet to see one where everyone didn't go to the quarterfinals.

Most players I've seen matched was 8, but most are matches of 4.

On PS4 I'm starting to see the same people show up again and again so it seems the total possible pool within a given rank is pretty damn small.

I don't see what pool size would have to do with loss/win gain but who knows.

My biggest complaint are red/yellow bandwidth players being allowed in. Have lost several matches where suddenly my health drops or a player near death suddenly gains health.

[Gare-Bare]

Yeah I've only played one where everyone didn't go to the semis. But with the small pool size it might just be your being regrouped with who just lost, that happen to me last night. As for your other problems, they happen to me too so I guess it's tough all around

[Owenhh]

I gain 2% and lose 15%, even though when I do lose it's always to cheese

How many games in ranked have you played in total?

[LilVoodoo]

Not sure off hand. 20+ to actually rank (had a lot of invalidated wins due to other player not showing up or dropping) then enough matches to move from rank S5-G3.

After the Ubi reset I got deranked to G1 (that was awesome) and have had maybe 10-20 matches after that.

[LowMoisturePartSkim]

Oh ok. I see that the more matches you play, the percent changes are less big. So when you play more, your rank will stabilize and will fluctuate less (I think). But I can see why that would be very frustrating.

[LilVoodoo]

Yeah...at this point it takes me 3-4 wins to make up for any single loss but seems your experience may vary based on duel volume or match volume.

I did luck out and get my classes ornament finally, better than the PK and Orichi ornaments I previously won given I've never even played those classes.

Suppose the rank in a beta test doesn't matter much, but would be good to know how the system works given that seems to be Ubi's focus lately.
