Consider reducing the number of points lost on a losing game. TLDR: matchmaking seems to be struggling to find balanced lobbies. I'm currently sitting at platinum. I've noticed a number of times that I matched against Ascendant players. And I've also been matched with silver players. It's anecdotal, but matchmaking feels like it's struggling to find balanced lobbies due to low population in comp. I don't mind the climb, I enjoy it, but it feels slower than previous attempts because of how losses affect progress and fairness in matchmaking.
