Accelerate rank promotion for players dominating lower ranks

In Silver and Gold Ranked, I encounter players whose combat skill appears far above the lobby’s level. Whether they are smurfs or returning experienced players, the result is an unfair experience for lower-skilled players.
Please introduce accelerated promotion for players who consistently outperform their rank across several matches, using kills, damage, and other combat performance indicators. A single unusually good match should not trigger a major rank jump, but repeated dominance should move players to an appropriate rank much faster.
Please prioritize this protection for lower ranks and publish data showing whether it reduces one-sided matches.

  • If the players you're referring to will climb the Ranked ladder in a timely fashion, why expedite the process?

    There's no way average players are encountering highly skilled players every match. Additionally, unless players are cheating (game exploits), then let them be. For example, a returning experienced player shouldn't be thrust into higher ranks because their current lobby is less skilled. They should be able to enjoy their Ranked grind just like everyone else.

    Lastly, if you're hot dropping and getting slammed then stop hot dropping, especially if you're solo queuing. Change your strategy. Find different ways to play and counter skilled players. Poke your chest out a little more. 💪👊😡
