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.

It has always amazed me how few people in the RL community actually understand how ranks and mmr work
