@heman277 We will never know the exact reason for the changes but most change comes from complaining and here are complaints that the current ranked tried to fix-
Pros complaining about too many players beneath them in their lobbies due to them hitting masters. The current system has not fixed this. This fix was pretty simple- Just make the queues for preds and masters longer to find the right players.
General population complaining about smurfs. The hidden mmr has corrected this but the side affect is worse. Rookies can now match against Masters.
General population complaining about teammates not playing as a team. So they made high finishes the only thing that matters. The issue with this is people have different playstyles and now the people that are good at killing cannot advance. There is no fix for this. People need to look in the mirror and be better teammates themselves.
Cheaters that farmed kills by respawning. The current system fixed this. But as mentioned above this had the side effect that killers cannot advance. At the end of the day, the majority should not be punished because of a few.
So yeah it's a reaction to a combination of complaining. The old system was fine and just needed some basic tweaking in queue time at the top level.
