It seems to me that this may have occurred with the new season but I cant be sure when. Coincidentally there seem to be far fewer people playing now which likely has something to do with that.

But prior to this change I had recorded numbers on my promotions and demotions as a means to crack the hidden ranking code. I am all but certain that I figured out promotion demotion but I am now equally as certain that the situation has changed.

Promotion now seems to be much easier/faster and demotion much harder/slower. This also would make sense given the large number of higher level of players who have left

The date range of these stats will obviously be quite varied so yes, another unknown if behind the scenes changes have occurred. The promotion mechanics for 2v2 obviously got a big overhaul recently. One thing that does seem to have stayed the same is the huge variance in the weighting of the initial 5 placement games - lose 1 and end up having to play 50+ games to get to the same level as someone who won all 5.

The interlinked nature of how all of this is worked out obviously means there's no one window you can look through to gain insight but hopefully these numbers may interest some and provide some insight for others. Have you still got your stats, i still feel the more the merrier
