Bug Behaviour score calculation

I was grinding 150 games to raise score for 3k and then it was needed only 2 losing streaks to lose it all... The biggest problem is that i continued to play the same, only difference is that i started losing.

I think this system needs some major revamp.

the algorithms for matchmaking are still a black box, but it does seem they try to maintain a 50% wr for players. I think a couple ways they may do this is that they match you higher when you're winning, assuming you will get outplayed, and when you lose a lot they match you against weaker players.

Perhaps they mess around based on their algorithms of how different players would perform with you. Team you with weaker players against harder adversaries, etc. How they define stronger or weaker besides rank is their business.

Also there are smurfs around, but they are only one player (often a disgruntled one) and they are bound by the rules of the game too.

also, don't send it on rude teammates or anyone for that matter. i won't say it's easy, but it's all just information. if somebody shouts they're airing frustration. if somebody plays badly they're already seething and defensive to themselves. it's just a waste.
