I agree. I hate dealing with them, and frankly believe that such players do not belong in ranked (they should be required to spend more time practicing in casual to understand gameplay basics.) But like I said - if you are good and you are *consistent*, you will climb.

Didn't Ni Xi drop like 3000 points or something? And now he's been locked into #4 for weeks. Consistency of performance is the key factor, even moreso than raw "skill." If you can always produce consistent results, you'll win more games than you lose. Like I said, I've had times where I've dropped 2000 or more points, but I gained them all back and then some, just by being consistent.
