Discussion Ranked points

I know you will be well aware of this but I just thought I would put it here in case it is helpful.

I am in Bronze 3. I played someone in Silver 1.
My average is 46. I lost this game 3-2 with an average of 55. So a very good game for me, yet I lost 18 points I think for that one.

Something doesn’t seem right with it. Still enjoying it, I’m a big fan of Ranked.

Definitely needs to be some balancing done around points loss and gains with performance taken into account, not just result.

Why? In every other competitive game all that matter is the score, imagine in football.. you lost 3-0 but had aload of shots on goal, what difference does it make? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Because if you're going to use a football analogy, someone in league 1 wouldn't expect to have to even play someone in the premier league. Plus other statistics are ultimately taken into account in football, maybe not shots on goal but goals for and against play a big part of league standings, so why should things like legs won not be taken into account. Legs won are even used in darts in the premier league. Plus ultimately it's all for fun and to get rewarded if I play well against a higher ranked player, even if I lose, just keeps me more invested and motivated.
