What determines how many rank points gained for a win or lost for a loss?

Where is the data for the ranked system ? ...it seems entirely based on number of kills vs deaths. Are we penalized if we play a game when someone is afk on our team and we end up with more deaths than kills. Is this why people go afk or stop helping soon as a team is going downhill? This explains

  1. "ks" syndrome(people just want kills for more rank points and really don't care about strategy or map objectives), the whole ks notion seems silly to me...you eliminate an enemy as quickly as possible before more show up or hopefully gain time to go after a turret. But now it makes sense why people are so worried about it, if kills are the main factor for ranked points.
  2. why nobody wants to play support....supports tend to have more deaths than kills. If I'm losing 25 points for a loss and only gaining 15-20 for a win it is going to be forever before I can move up and play with better players. No wonder it is so rare for a team to really fight as a team....due to this ranking/kill system nobody wants to be the first body to jump in, have a death and gain less points. It seems to "pay off" better to troll around looking for kills to jump on. This ranking system encourages greedy, selfish play and gives no reward to people that go after objectives. If your teams win more than they lose your rank points should go UP !!!! Seriously I'm starting to feel the only way to go up in rank is to get as many kills as possible, helping teammates and taking down turrets seems to just put me at risk for more deaths and it will take longer to gain rank points. I went down 9 points from losing one game with 4 kills 10 deaths and winning one game with 9 kills 7 deaths. So please where is the info on what generates rank points.

lmao you cracked me up with your theory about KDA

Anywayz, your gain and loss is solely dependent on the MMR of people you are matched with and against. For example, if you are bronze 3 playing against bronze 5, you will gain less and lose more. If you are bronze 3 playing against bronze 1, you will gain more and lose less.

That's how it works

Check your MMR and know where you stand...

ok thanks for the input, i've noticed the first series i got into i had 3 more wins than defeats, next series i needed 5 extra wins and now it's 7 extra wins i need to reach the 100 points for a series. Luck has not been the best when i'm in a series, some afks have killed my chances and put me back down to 65-70 points

Got into another series today...first game AFK on our team but we won, second game 5 vs 5 lost, 3rd game AFKs on both teams, lost.....back to b5 at 75 points....i played support twice and one extra loss cost me 25 points again, while i seem to gain 15-22 for wins.

Ranked is meaningless with this many afks, this is 2nd series in a row decided by a 3rd game afk.

I checked the MMR says i'm 582 and average was 650. After 200 games I have 5 more wins than losses and 52 points, still in bronze5...so it seems a loss cancels all points from a win and wins are gaining me about 10 points....a big win (i.e. KILLS) gains 25 points but overall this is how the points are breaking down.

So I've learned:

  1. The system is based on # of kills and nothing else
  2. If you play support you will need to win about 20 more games than you lose to advance one rank, which = playing 60 games if you win 2/3s of the time !
  3. If your team is losing you shoot yourself in the foot points-wise if you try hard and die more times than you get kills.
  4. The ranked system gives nothing for team play, strategy or obtaining objectives.....win lose or draw you will gain more points by just getting KILLS
  5. I now understand all the toxic behavior ....people want KILLS, they don't care about a team winning the ranked systems makes them just want KILLS
  6. I also understand all the quitter/surrendering attitudes and people going AFK ....if it looks like your team will lose, they don't want to play as their points will get punished more if they try and die more times than they KILL
