You can rank up with a negative win rate, and that's not good for competitive integrity.

With the current win streak system, it gives you extra rank in a win streak, meaning if you lose a ton of games in a row and win a ton of games in a row, you can end up with more rating than u originally had despite being 50/50 or even negative.

I'm enjoying the quality of ranked a lot so far, but if things continue with this system, your going to have people who are climbing to ranks they shouldn't be in and it will deteriorate the average quality of a match.

Overwatch has win streaks but doesn't have the same problem because you can also have lose streaks which make sure your only ranking up with a positive win rate.

What do you guys think? What other ways can this be solved? Do you think this is an issue in the first place?
