A question about proxy server

There could be a few reasons for your issue with ranking mode being slower. The game servers might handle the two modes differently, and that can impact your connection.
If you're still on the hunt for solutions, I've got a suggestion that might help. You could try messing around with your proxy settings, buddy. Sometimes, tweaking those settings can work wonders.
And hey, just throwing it out there, you might wanna give PyProxy a shot (check it here: http://pyproxy.com/?utm-source=crd&utm-keyword=?s1111). It's not some crazy ad or anything, but it might make your gaming experience smoother when you're using a proxy.
