Ratcheting ranking system makes for an utterly miserable experience

[Gunz_Zbestest]

Let me guess, neither of you 2 know what "ratcheting" means.

Dude, all I know is I had an afk'er block my potential win to platinum the other night. Killing my win streak and had them join another party of mine later that night...wtf. If you went afk and didn't even leave the gate? That should be an automatic ban from playing for like 48 hours. Yes the game tends to put the players you recently beat back in your team if you queue too fast it seems. They also need to not put teamates you blacklist or mute on your side as well since you can still hear their spam chat when you get paired up with them.

So you don't know what "ratcheting" means. That's fine, really. But your posts here are utterly useless, you aren't contributing to the topic at all. All your points are valid, but they have nothing to do with this topic. If you don't understand the topic, well, self-discipline and self-regulations are indeed virtues that should be fostered, but must also be practiced.

So is humility. You don't seem to practise what you preach - aka self-discipline. Why not simply explain the concept?

Humility doesn't mean kowtowing to the deliberately ignorant who come guns blazing into a thread they don't even understand and then expect others to explain terms that they could just look up on the internet, after they unloaded whatever rant they had pent up with no regards to the actual topic at hand. It's one thing to ask "what is meant with ratcheting ranked system", since the inner workings of the ranking system aren't easily apparent, it's another to ask what the term "ratcheting" even means in a basic sense.

Further, you have a strange compulsion to constantly pick pointless fights with me. I mean, YOU could have just explained what the term itself means, but instead we now have this incredibly stupid meta discussion that YOU broke lose because ... I don't know, is my Lala character triggering you? Do you have so little self control? Is your petty alias your whole personalty?
