What is exactly "Rank Confidence" in calibration?

I'm not sure how this new rank confidence system works, and how many games will it take. I played 2 games, win and lose. It only went from 3% to 6%.

How many games have you guys played to get ur medals? If you can bring more insight about this topic please

As far as I understand, the rank takes two things into account:
How well you played (wins, losses, apparently also how skilled your teammates are now too) and how much you played (recently).
If a new player starts the game and has 6-4 score after 10 games, it does not mean that much for the ranking system, it does not know anything about that player yet and will probably wait until they play a few more games before giving them a rank.
If a regular player plays 10 games and gets a 6-4 score, while having about 60% win rate for the past 5 months as well, the game is a lot more confident to give him a corresponding rank after those 10 games, since it has previous data to compare it with.

So in general: the more you play, the more data the game has about your performance. The more data it has, the more confident it can be that your assigned rank represents your skill level well and, on the other hand, it won't give you a rank until it has a certain amount of data about your games.

Thank you for this explanation! Really helpful.
