Why did I just lose an entire rank in 1 game?

[ComputerWhiz]

I've been ranked low Diamond in the Dropshot playlist. I was Diamond I Division 3 before my last game (having just come out of a win in the previous game). We lost the game and I was deranked all the way to Platinum III Division 3.

What happened? There's no way a single loss made my MMR drop THAT low!

you get mmr and if you reached your rank you will get less mmr and if you are too high in your rank you will lose more mmr than gaining is and if you get over that hurdle you will have a new rank where you will be at

That doesn't explain the loss of four divisions in 1 game. In every other derank situation I've ever had it's been dropping a division 1 at a time.

According to the rl tracker you never hit Diamond

I think you may have confused your rumble and dropshot ranks.

I was 100% in Diamond 2 when I ranked in. That was a little high and lost enough divisions to drop into Diamond 1. But then I dropped right down from Diamond 1 division 3 to Platinum 3 division 3.

I'm not even ranked yet in Rumble because I've only played a few games in that playlist this season.

I think the issue is that the RL tracker isn't updated enough. All of my Dropshot games were after October 2, so it's just showing my current rank. It's not showing the spike up to Diamond 2.

The graph that shows your performance in drropshot goes from 6/15 to today. At no point does it show you at or above diamond.

Damn, I didn't know this was a thing. I have on my tinder profile that I'm supersonic legend. Now my lie will be exposed.

It was definitely Diamond though, so I don't know why RL tracker doesn't show it.

RL tracker will not show diamond if you didn't open RL tracker while you were diamond so don't read too much into that. Is it possible you left the previous few matches which were losses before the endgame celebration/scoreboard shows?

Rl tracker gets its information straight from psyonix servers it does not need a user to open the web site.

Nope, I very rarely do that ever. Like 99% of the time I wait for the post-game screen so that I can jump into another match.

If you forfeit and leave a match instantly. You're mmr isn't updated.

If you're the kind of person that insta leaves on losses and sticks around on wins.
You will see this happen a lot.

Just stay in the lobby until you see the counter start for the next match. Then you can leave the lobbie with your mmr updated.

Dude that’s nothing, I was playing 2s ranked in plat 2 division 2 and I lost on an overtime. My mmr dropped 45 and now I’m plat 1 division 2. Not possible, I sent them a note and told them to give me my rank back

I'd suggest reading the previous responses in this thread. The issue you're talking about has been talked through numerous times and acknowledged aswell.

Stop whining, I was stuck at D3 Div 3/4 for several season, finally broke into Champ, got to Div 3 or 4, cant remember which, once this trash can game went F2P the first season they dropped me down to D2 Div 2. Not sure how many games were lost during the placement matches but I know it wasnt enough to drop that low. Previous seasons I always was placed within a few Div's of the last season. Now I just dont care, win or lose, NFG!!! This game is much more enjoyable when you just dont care to win or lose. My advice, stop crying about it and move on. Play for fun, naturally you will play better anyways. Once you start raging you make dumb mistakes and the domino effect starts. Play > lose > rage > make mistakes > blame your team mates > lose more > rage more = now you are done with the game and want to quit.
