PVP Ranking Idea

I think points should be determined based on the rank of your team. If you're platinum and lose with 3 silvers, your loss of points should be minimal. However, if you're platinum and win with 3 silvers, your points gain should be great.

Just my idea anyway.

That actually already happens. You gain more for winning with a lesser ranked team and lose more if you lose vs a lower ranked team and vice versa. The difference is slight though like between +19 to +26 in Diamond.

You are assuming that rank = skill. Which is far from truth. Especially when many experienced players or alts start season late and climb with 80-90% wr. Why? They are silver-gold with diamond level skills, but the game 'thinks' they are weak because of low rank and balances them with platinum/diamond players, making their team even more overpowered. Such a flawed matchmaking system which doesn't take in consideration win rate or previous seasons history.

Ranks/promotions make no sense either. If you won every game till promotion qualifiers but lost 3 qualifiers, you are denied next rank. Why? What's the logic behind that decision? Why these 3 games are more important than all before them?
