Subject: Ranking system

My gamertag is Colonel TPhai. I don't understand this ranking system. I win lone wolves in first and second place but I still haven't gone up in skill yet. I'm a 43 and I can't get past it despite winning matches in first and second places. Can someone please help me figure this out?

Out of your last 50 MatchMaking games, 8 have been in Lone Wolves. Of those 8, you have only come in first twice and 2nd once.

You've actually placed 6th place just as often as you have 1st.
I don't see what the problem is.

I have a 20 game winning streak which got me to captain.

you dont rank up if you come in 2nd place come in 1st more and then you will rank up when you do get to a 43 since your only a 21 on this account


It's Lone Wolves, you rank up for coming 2nd.

of course you're going to rank up faster if you come in 1st, but you still go up for coming 2nd or 3rd if it's a 6 player match. If it's 4 player only 1st and 2nd rank you up.

In fact you can rank up for coming 4th or 5th, depending on who placed lower than you

Then that was because of the mu/sigma or whatever it's called. You do not 'swap ranks' if you beat players higher than yourself. That would be an incredibly broken system.
