Spend all day in Gold, nearly hit Platinum. Only to hit a losing streak and go all the way back down to the Gold 4. What, besides padding subscription fees and MAU's with the excessive time it takes to even potentiall rank up, is the reason for this system? What benefit does this add to lose an entire days worth of progress just due to sheer bad luck? I'm at gold but I dont even feel proud to be this far, it's RNG whether or not I get dealt a good or shitty hand with the matchmaking or not.

This doesn't make it more fun. This doesn't make it feel more rewarding. It's just RNG determining if you just wasted your time or not. If I make progress, it should be permanent. I despise systems in video games where I lose progress, especially if it's due to RNG.

This, combined with the rampant cheating, horrendous matchmaking somehow consistently pairing me against meta comps, makes me want to just give up and do casual exclusively. Stop adding these unfun, grindy systems just to artificially pad out MAU's.
