And it's always 25 points per win, or does that go up with different tiers?

What happens if you lose your "promotion" attempts? Do you just keep going until you win?

And it's always 25 points per win, or does that go up with different tiers?

What happens if you lose your "promotion" attempts? Do you just keep going until you win?

For a balanced match (ie 1000 total team rating vs 1000 total team rating), it's always +25. If the ratings are skewed (ie 1 team is 700 rating, the other is 1000), then it changes. In the previous example, if the 700 rated team wins then they'd gain something like +29 (random number), and the loser would lose more than they typically would as well.

Long story short, yes all tiers gain the same amount, they just lose more at higher ranking.

If you fail a promotion you simply re-try on your next win that brings you over the minimum promotion threshold. The cap for each tier is +100 over the minimum threshold for next tier. To be more clear, the most points you can possibly gain as gold is 1100. If you hit 1099 and still are not Platinum, then win your next game, you will gain +1 rating, bringing you to the 1100 cap for Gold.
