Competitive RANKING system ??!

[bAd a!m]

Hello,

I have an active CSstats link in my profile, you can see I'm far from an elite CS2 player.

However, based on the competitive ranking system, on Inferno I am now GOLD NOVA 2.
I have 2 wins on this map. I am far from a gold player. How does this work???

For comparison, on Dust 2, I have over 150 wins and I'm Silver 4.

Is this proper ranking?

How does it work??

The main rank in "premier matchmaking". The other ranks don't matter.

it used to be 10 comp wins needed to get a rank on each comp map. but they made an update that changed this to 2 wins. I guess their idea was to reduce this to get more people a rank on comp. as a result of this ranking up now seems to be easier.

According to leetify's public library data beta https://leetify.com/blog/public-data-library/. before the update only one person in the world was LEM on any comp map, most of the players were squished between Silver 1 - Gold 1. Post update we now have a much more balanced range of ranks.

I for example, had 12 wins on mirage and was silver 4. as soon as the update dropped I played a game and instantly got Gold 3, a 5 rank difference.

TLDR: Your rank has been shifted upwards with the bell curve because the previous comp system was rating a majority of people in silver. Less comp games played means less information to accurately give you your rank so 2 wins might boost your perceived rank a lot. If you're worried that you're rated too high, you will soon derank to your suited rank if the system thinks that's your rank.

I went from silver 2 -> sem lmao.

My alt went from silver 2 -> gn2, but after losing 4 or 5 games in a row im sem there now too.

20+ years of playing and the experience means ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this game.

top 97% of players in crosshair placement, but bottom 25% of players.

Broken game, or rigged, prolly both.

MM ranks aren't accurate and will take months to balance when people actually play MM. But they're all playing Premier instead.

Thank you, this makes sense.

And that was my concern, I am perfectly aware my skill is way lower than Gold 2 and I don't see how I'd enjoy games where I cause my team to lose because I'm totally unprepared for that.
