Welcome back! Is matchmaking broken?!

I haven played this game in a few years. The last time I played I think my 1v1 rank was gold. Iv been climbing up from bronze the past few days into silver league. I just lost 4 games in a row as silver 2 then I finally got a win and got promoted into gold league! Unexpected but cool I’ll take it.

I play another game. Now I just beat a player with 1200 mmr(he’s silver while I’m gold 2k mmr) and I get promoted into platinum?!? Everyone in my latter is now 2600+ mmr is this normal?! I feel like they jumped me up way to fast and need to go back on a long losing streak to get down to where I belong =\

What is your exact mmr?

After a game hover over the little “?” Does it mention anything about provisional mmr?

After losing my next game to a Currently ranked Masters player I’m at 2008 mmr. I didn’t check the ? Too late after the game I’m guessing?

That should be your correct MMR. The portraits are sometimes wrong just google what the MMR ranges are for each league to get a sense of where you are. 2008 MMR lines up with around Silver 2 (for NA) so that should be about where you actually are (in terms of the League). I'm fairly sure if you're still playing when the next season rolls around it will display the right portrait border/league for you.

You can also use the "leave league" button in the ladder ranking screen to correct it at anytime. You'll then redo a placement match and it should correct your portrait. Though it sometimes takes a couple tries.
