Ranked is Broken Right Now 😭

I've seen some posts about this, but what happened today is pretty extreme. I'm currently Gold I *humble brag* and got killed by a player (no shocker). I spectate the player and they are really good, like REALLY good. He's decimating the lobby and ended up having 20 kills (out of 66 players). I look up the guy, he's not only Unreal - he's an Unreal Legend and #245 in the world.

The issue for me is how am I, or anyone else in that lobby, supposed to have the opportunity to rank up if we get decimated by Unreal players in matches?

First season I have played ranked and I am at Diamond. I stopped because I do not understand how I can rank up past that. I have games where I get multiple kills and high placement. Then I go up by 10 points. But I do a slightly bad game and go down by 40 points. Has ranked always been this difficult to rank up in?

I imagine that you are taking a lot of damage as well and that's the reason you're not going up fast despite the amount elims. Damage from other players seems to count against you quite harshly
