You need to fix the ranking system
I was rank 4000, elo 1657, and went up to rank 10,000 1634 elo.
I went back up to 1657 elo and am still at rank 10,000, and currently getting worse with each win. Fix this in the next patch

Your rank changed so much over night because it was updating all your wins, and everyone else's

rank is based on your ELO 1708.99 ELO will probably make you top 10 players. Don't rely on rank so much

Conversely, if you lose to someone with a low elo (1601) then you will lose more ELO points than if you lost to someone with a similar ELO. The same applies to your rank. Also, these changes aren't updated in exact real time, so most likely what you are complaining about is other people winning more and against better players, so they rise in rank faster, thus pushing you down.

tl;dr Nothing is wrong, just realtime update lag.

Yes, but my rank has been 10,000 for 8 hours now, and counting. The same elo

That has nothing to do with the rank in-game..
The rank under /stats has to do with QI, the rank in-game is the ELO rank.
2 totally different ranks good sir.

Not sure if this is discussion material. From here, the discussion will be about WHETHER OR NOT TO CHANGE the current ranking system, not explaining to one user how it works.

I think the system is good enough. Although it tends to seem a little illogical for the less good ranks you can generally work out how good your opponent is going to be if their rank is below 3000 etc.

The Rank System is fine. Elo is just in relative terms, unstable.

Naturally your Rank will fluctuate quite a bit.

But if you play more, and win more. Your Rank will eventually jump back up.

The rank system is obnoxious and were in talks about how to improve it. It's most major problem seems to be that every mod and every ELO is treated equally. That is to say that earning a 1740 MMR in jousting against bad players using an opener can catapult you to a top 10-20 global rank. Whereas trading of wins and losses with good ABD players at 1640 ELO from non-3 turn bs matches probably ranks you in the thousands.

Additionally, people who do well in long game high skill mods usually end up losing rank when just playing a fun, more luck based mod. Like if a GMTourney hosts say acrojoust.

The big picture point is when I'm going tit for tat with awesome wushu players, my rank goes from the 50's to low 100's, but when I start streaking on white belts in air hockey, despite our huge ELO difference, my rank goes from 100 to low 30's.

That's not what we want and were debating solutions. Like y'all can do here or in the suggestions board.
