Unexpectedly Bumped Down?

[RandyDogz]

The ranking within leagues does seem demotivating, but here's a tip that helped me gauge how I'm doing while grinding up the leagues - take points and divide by number of wins to get average points per win (p/w).

A good player will have a high p/w regardless of activity cause its diluted by losses, and in proportion to the caliber of the opponent lost to. Just like points gained per win.

If your p/w is going up, and/or you're beating players with a high p/w you're moving up towards a promotion!

Still not an exact science, and more variables to consider. But helps me come to piece sitting in the mid to bottom of rankings within leagues.

Also, I imagine (pure speculation) that ones 'hidden ranking' has a 'reliability' factor which increases as you play more games and the system feels it has a pretty good idea of your level of play. Which would also prob lead to getting matched against people at your level. And for me, that makes the game fun!
