3% rank increase?! Really?!
I just played an entire match short 1 player on my team, and we still won! It was hard fought for sure. One more shift of morale and we were toast. I get that in this case a loss for us would be half...

is this a subject of balance that gonna come in the patch of november 25th?
You guys are getting more than 1% per win?
I get 1% per win, 10% per lose, 0.75 win ratio, my guess is that ranks are distributed like this at the moment:
- Maverick: 45%
- Hotshot: 45%
- Hero: 10%
- Valiant: < 0.5%
- Legend: < 0.1%
- Galactic Ace: Not even one person here
There's something very wrong with the ranking system if with a greatly positive win ration (great win ratio in ranked is considered 0.55+ in competitive games) and there's no climb on the ladder outside of a few squad of elites together never losing a single game or people boosting with new accounts and with such a poor rank distribution. Now to know what is going wrong is a different kettle of fish that we cannot guess with out having more datas or inside peeks of how things works. One thing is sure, ranked needs a fix yet again.
Here is some longer term data on the points gained and lost over 170+ games...
Gains: min = 0, average = 8.11, max = 26
Losses (including 2 forfeit games) min = -6, average = -20.86, max = -50
The losses are on average 2.57 times greater than the wins and you would need to maintain a win ratio of 0.61 to rank up. My win ratio of 0.87 gives me a net average gain of 5 points per game. The Hero Tier is 1000 points so it would be expected to take 200 games to reach Valiant.This system is also driving poor player behaviour too because the time penalty for quitting from the menu and being in the "low priority queue" is far lower than the points penalty for losing a game.
Ranking up in this game is not fun, it is just tedious and evidently needs reworking.
See graph attached.
I agree, this system is broken. I'm at Hot Shot and I have a high win rate, however I lose one game (that is close) and I take a massive loss in points. So much so now that I'm lower then what I was initial ranked at despite winning 95%+ of my games.
The Ranking is fine IMO. I'm now Legend-2 and so is another of my squad mates (Cavern Angels) . We have all been ranking up easily, post patch 3.0.
You guys need to start concentrating on your coordination, planning, and actual gameplay, and consistently win, If you do that, you will rank up.
