Competitive Rank Never Reset, Never Got Rewards

How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? n/a
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Mar 21, 2021
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I am queued with players of my old rank, even though I am far below them. I didn't receive rewards and the only way I was able to get my normal matchmaking back was to gain points in bronze, but I still don't have the rewards.
What should be happening instead? Rewards are delivered and rank reset
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't believe this bug can be replicated.

I never received rewards for reaching master. My old rank is reflected when in the lobby but in game it shows my current rank. I took a long break from the game and thus my rank is at the absolute bottom. When I tried playing ranked with friends it said i couldn't queue with them because our ranks had to be in relatively the same range, even though we're both bronze. I was able to sort-of fix the issue by earning points but it took me 6 matches of getting no kills before I got points and it reset my rank. I still didn't get the rewards though. In my screenshots it shows the people I got matched with because the game still thought I was master. If there is any way to view my previous match history, you'll be able to see the people I got queued against. I fixed it by getting points just for surviving and now I'm in the right tier but I still don't have the loot. I won't be playing until those past matches are looked at. I made an inquiry about this in Feb. but never got anywhere. I even have a screenshot of the champion squad being the #4 and #5 pred's in the world and I'm a lowly bronze getting queued against them. I just want my rewards.

    The issue seems to have existed for quite some time, hope this does get some attention as I've had this happen to myself a few times.

    Seems like winning a game IIRC does fix this issue, though that of course isn't really a workaround that seems efficient.

    A megathread has existed for this exact issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Megathread-Incorrect-Rank-from-Previous-Season/m-p/8711968/highlight/true#M22778

    Though seems to be closed, i haven't read through it completely but maybe some have found a workaround that doesn't require you to win.

    They might take note of this soon, at least they think it was because some got RP removed but it's happening at such a large scale that I doubt it's related to that.

    Until then, just hang on tight until they release a patch or find a workaround.
