Master's rank post-game issue post patch

Sorry if this has already been discussed and I missed it - has anyone else been experiencing weird behavior in master's rank after every game (win or loss)? Before the patch yesterday, if you won a game your rank would improve some amount and vice versa if you lost... Also the number would "flip" to show your new and updated rank. Now, post game it just shows one number that often makes no sense... It no longer "flips" and also is often lower after wins and higher after losses, but not always. I can't tell if it's updating my rank on a multiple game lag or just spitting out numbers at random... In any case I'm not hugely motivated by climbing masters ladder so the games are still fun, but if this is not fixed it pretty much disincentivizes playing ranked ladder at all. Maybe I'll finally spend some of those expedition tokens now.

Same has been happening to me for past 3 days. There is no animation for rank gain/loss, just displays rank number after the match. This was pre patch as well. Also, there seems to be a problem, where winning a game makes you lose the rank. I've won like 3 games in a row and dropped from 1800 to like 2200.

If its pre-patch it might be the confusion with the ladder system itself. Because in Master, the number denotes your position on the ladder based off of MMR and not LP. This means, while playing the game not only your your MMR change but other's change on the ladder as well. This create the situation where your positioning on the ladder can drop or climb no matter if you win or lose. Not because your MMR is not changing, but other's MMR is changing relatively to yours. This is why the system is a bit confusing compared to the logic of "I should climb when I win and fall when I lose".

With 1.4, we will be trying a slightly different system (closer to LoL) for masters rank.

In terms of animation, there might be a bug under the hood there. In 1.4 we will also clean up end of game coding (thank you Leah, the poor engineer that have been untangling the spaghetti for the past weeks).

Hopefully, in the next patch with the two changes we will see improvements. If not we will revisit and have another go at it.

We have not made any changes to masters ranked or ranked in general this patch. Thus if you are noticing this behaviour, some sort of bug might be happening beneath the hood :( if you can get me your region, Riot ID, picture or video of what is happened or any more info that would be great! We can have a look into it. Feel free to DM it for privacy sake :)
