Blizzard, here’s the issue with SR:
Everyone knows SR has been a major issue for a while now. You win some, you lose some, it goes up and it goes down.
I went even today in my wins and losses. I started out at 2817 (I know, just switched to PC). I played 6 games. I won 3, I lost 3. I broke even. I sweated some of those games, and one of the losses included a duo team who threw and were toxic the entire match.
Regardless of circumstances, Blizzard, why did I end up 4 SR lower than when I started, despite winning and losing the same amount of games. This makes no sense. I literally have to win one more match than I lose in order to climb, at all, even 1 SR.
This needs to be changed an addressed. And not just for Diamonds. You’re making it impossible to climb.

Hey there, this has been covered a lot in the past. If you haven’t seen this post from designer Scott Mercer it’s worth a read.
We do want to continue improving the competitive system. Overall though, this is a skill based ranking system not a progression system. Chances are after 6 games you’re about the same skill level as when you started.
Cheers.
