This is an approximation of the current distribution of ranks (counting 1893361 players) from csqosquad.

[image loading]

Sadly the website only show this distribution up to three months ago. If you could have seen the November/December graphs, you'd have seen a distribution skewed towards the higher ranks, with around 60% of the players in the Nova Master -> Global Elite rank interval. And the most populated ranks were like MG2/MGE/DMG. So yeah, the correction has been pretty rough. Now the peak around Nova 2/Nova 3. That's a 4 rank downgrade for the average.

Basically, before the update that corrected the bounds for ranks, silver was basically empty. Not the case anymore.

So if you combine that and the natural MMR decay, yeah, a 6 ranks drop is quite possible. Just climb back.
If you get your former rank, you'll have actually *improved*.

Its actually not such a bad deal. I just opened the game after a couple of months yesterday and I went from LE to DMG without even playing anything, it just demoted me. And honestly thats pretty fair I think. Ill probably play a few games to grind it back up and then forget about it but the bottom line is Im not really getting any better but those 2 ranks are round about my level.

Just because you are promoted doesn't necessarily mean you are ready to get to the next level yet and bouncing back and forth till your skill stabilizes isnt such a terrible deal. At the end of the day the MMR is what matters in the kind of players you play with. Not your rank.

It might be possible that I don't belong to GN2. My feelin and stats show otherwise. I made the game agree with me now aswell.

Played a couple games and now I'm right back in GN2

Wooohooo, got LEM. First time I reach it.

Also, 1,000 hours on CS:GO. Starting to feel kinda like an old timer (this is false though )

I don't have much time for gaming as I used to 10 years ago (glorious days of SC1 :-) ) and can't get as good as I would like. Now when I play CS:GO, I have usually time for 1 game per night. It frustrated me that I was stagnating so much on MGE level.

So two weeks ago I sent my girlfriend to her parents and made a small bootcamp for myself. It is starting to pay off! Now I'm LE and hopefully I can reach LEM one day

Rofl!

Hey, don't hesitate to bug people around on Steam, easier to rank up with decent lads rather than 4 randoms.

We need more rank up parties (do want that SMFC!)

Man I get so many pro player+ friend stacks in Supreme now. and whenever I play its roughly the same faces. And the second you see them and the profile is legit everyone on your team just gives up. I did beat Arya in 2 1 v 1 cltuches last I played on Friday. Patted myself on the back for that one.

Hey, just talk people into believing this is a fake. There's so many around anyway. :>

(Although people fake kennyS or ScreaM a bit more than Arya, quite possibly hehe)

LEM again.
After my 1-20 streak down to DMG i'm finally back.
Took me just about 20 matches i think. Pretty happy with that.

YES! I finally got to LEM. It took me about a year hovering around DMG/LE (one time even back to MGE), but I'm here!

Two more ranks and I can quit the game! It took me 335 wins since I've started as GN2.

It's sucks to be progressing so slowly but I guess when the real life catches up with you after college, you can't really progress that easily (or at least I can't!).

Very nice job Dantak!

We should team up one of these day when possible to try and catch that SMFC. o/
