Nobody really knows exactly how the matchmaking system works. It may be tied to win rates overall. It's possible that if you have a high win rate in casual matches over a large enough sample size that it could affect your teams in ranked. Sometimes if I'm ranking up a character and I'm at diamond, I'll be put on a team with one crystal tier player and the other team has four crystal players. That doesn't really make sense if matchmaking is just balancing the rankings out.
