most funny that some times I was in team with silver mate, while my enemy was supreme or global with master guardian mate lul.
CSGO's ranking system has always been a bit inconsistent. I began playing MM seriously in 2015. We had the first massive VAC ban wave during that time that I could recall. This coincided with a massive shift in ranks. It was incredibly easy to rank up suddenly. Win a game or two, and bam -- you'd rank up. I ended up ascending my way to DMG. Eventually I got Global before the end of the year, but it was very hard for me to hold it. I usually sat at Supreme from late 2015-2016.
During 2015, players began realizing that the ranks were skewed toward the top of the curve. There were too many higher ranked players. At the end of 2015, Valve announced a rank shift would be happening where more players would slowly begin dropping off in rank. I managed to hold on to Supreme or LEM for about a year or so while some people dropped significantly from LE to Nova in a short amount of time.
About three years ago, I noticed that the system was significantly trying to push me down. SoloQ would put in a match with no one anywhere close to my rank. Losing would almost certainly derank me, even if I won multiple games immediately prior. It would take about 10 wins to rank up. I went down a spiral of deranking even when having a positive win/loss ratio.
Fast forward to a more recent time. Players began realizing that the ranks were skewed toward the bottom of the curve. There were too many lower ranked players. The catch this time was that the rank weirdness was happening only in certain regions, like NA. Even players who were Level 10 in FACEIT were hard-stuck in Nova in MM in NA region. Leetify published their findings on rank distribution. After this, Valve did the more recent rank update. Now I'm back to LE. I could see myself getting Supreme back eventually.
TL;DR: CSGO rank history be complicated, yo, and it might still be broken.
