thats correct. im the Art Lead and Product Owner for the Premium Content team, the team that makes all the skins, cards, buddies, etc :)

As far as we can tell the issue was resolved at around 11:17 AM Pacific time. If you close VALORANT and start it again do you still see an error related to settings or are your settings all back to normal?

We think the issue has cleared out but we aren't certain if it will remain that way. We are still investigating.

I can confidently say we haven't changed gains or losses for ranked, or any major changes that would result in this post or what you talked about.

I think the major factor that may be playing a role for you, and possibly this post, is the variance I talked about. Think of variance as how confident the system is that you are at the correct rank. The more confident, the less change you will go up and down. The less confident, you will swing a little harder then others. If you aren't seeing lots of movement in ranked it's probably because you've played alot of games, you play regularly, and you probably have a pretty even win/loss ratio; if you were in a lower rank where performance is factored in you may also be performing at that expected rank on average. So until you start win/loss streaking or out performing in a low rank, the game is going to be confident you belong at that rank and your movement may slow down.

If I were to be honest I think a big problem that lea...

Hey guys, for those of you who don't know me I'm the new competitive designer on Valorant! So, I'll try to explain this as best as possible - because I've only been at Riot for a month and have just learned how most of this stuff is working.

First off, remember that the arrows are only reflective of your current rank not your teammates. Because you may be sitting higher in immortal elo then your teammate you may gain or lose more based on match outcome. I don't know the exact elo calculation numbers on the backend so I'm going to make up imaginary numbers as an example. If you had 13 elo, but your friend had 6 elo, and lets say the enemy team(on average) had around 6 elo, you would most likely lose more elo because you lost to opponents way below your elo.

So yes, higher ranks are based mostly on the win/loss, but how ELO systems usually work is gathering the average rank of both teams and you gain/lose elo based on the match outcome. In essence a lower skilled pla...

Is there no chance?
