Here is my post in another section of the forums about my personal ranking. It's long, but I give the full story on my little quest to figure out how we're ranked
I was a consistent top player in Division 3 (3 #1 overall finishes), but in the final GAC League before the skill ratings I sandbagged my banner score in every single round. I got the bare minimum needed to still win 9/9 of my matches (don't you miss the days when that was possible ?).
Then we got skill ratings, and I've been ranked dead last of my skill rating group, in every round since then, for the last 9 months. Every Single Time.
I have to at least conclude that ranking isn't random, and that my ranking __in the final 'old' GAC season of 2021__ (which was based on banner count), must be at least partially responsible for my current ranking trend within my skill rating group.
At the end of the day "rank" only matters for rewards at the top of Kyber 1, and the top of k1 will always have unique ratings. But the rest of us are ranked based on some unknown value, and that means we'll perpetually be matched against other players with a similar value.. which I think is less than ideal.
