From the looks of things it's pretty easy to only have games where your RP just keeps going up and up. I wouldn't look at ranks in a BR as a reliable measurement of skill. Team or no team.
I'm sticking with casual literally because it has a better mix of action. People get the notion that unranked is a 1:1 synonym for bad. The reality is that good players can often get away with ballsier moves and still encounter other pubstompers. You aren't focused on RP and have no reason to be disappointed when the system repeatedly defies your expectation to have a balanced game.
Most games that try to measure skill accurately, they will give you a number of placement matches before deciding where you're supposed to be. And the adjustments you receive to your ratings are often based off the rating of the opponents you face. It's not supposed to be a grind from bronze where you get a fixed amount of points for hitting the same rigid milestones each game. Ranks in this game are a wonky measurement of play time at best.
