is it just me or the rating changes are inconsistent? (1-2-3 arrows up/down)

Title is the question basically. I remember it being a lot more consistent in last season, I could see that "yes, it was a close game and that's why I the rating slightly increased/decreased", but now I'm struggling to understand what the system is looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 3 aspects are individual performance, rank difference and rounds won/lost. I can remember having a game full of radiants when I was only immortal 1 in solo q, probably because of late night queue, we won like 13-3 or something, my stats were not even bad, I put up a solid but humble 1.2kd or something, I was 4th, I still only got 2 arrows, and I was like "okay, it must've been my performance", then I play a match few days later, absolutely carrying that shit with people in my rank, everyone was immortal1-2, that was even, we win something like 13-7, a normal win, and I still get 2 arrows.

But when it comes to losing, it's much easier to get 3 arrows down, and I find it so frustrating not knowing what matters for the system. It's not like I will play for kills if I find out that personal performance matters the most, I main sova anyways, and even when I don't play him I play something like cypher or omen or something. I just want to know, because it used to be a lot more consistent, I could actually point at what made me lose/win less/more, now it's just not possible.

On a sidenote, I haven't seen 1 arrow for weeks or a month now, is it gone? Even in overtime games it's at least 2 arrows.
