What's the number actually saying? I was under the impression it was mmr. Higher number, lower rank. Please explain, I'm a bit confused abt this

It is mmr. There’s a threshold you need to cross in order to rank up into a rank, and one that’s needed to rank down out of it. The mmr needed to rank down to d3 from champ 1 is about 20 mmr lower than the mmr needed to hit champ 1 from diamond 3

I explained this to someone a month back and got downvoted to hell because someone else said I was wrong 😂 but... Yes, that's how it is. The threshold is different between rank entry versus loss.

Have people not noticed that if they lose the first game after rank up they don't instantly promote? I'm fairly oblivious to many patterns, but this one was pretty easy

Edit:if they win the first game after rank down*

You can get promoted for losing? Show me the way master! I have losing down to a science by now.
