The ranking system is a joke

We played the first 3 rounds normally, going 3-0 when all of the sudden our raze dc'd... Since we were already 3 rounds up and had no way to remake, we just carried on 4v5'ing from there on. As we were on attack and our team was playing better, we went 9-3 in the first half. But ofcourse defense was gonna be the hardest with 1 man down, so we fought to get every possible point. I'm talking full sweat mode on for everyone lol. We somehow managed to make the score 12-9 when suddenly our raze joins back explaining he had internet problems. After dropping the next 2 rounds we get the hard fought win (13-110 and I looked at my rank. All I see is disappointment because I only got 1 arrow up. According to the elo overlay, I gained 8 elo for being match MVP on such a difficult win.

As a comparison: I lost the game before that with 13-2 as Team MVP and lost 40 elo (almost half a rank!) while when winning 13-5 only gave me 20 elo earlier today. The reyna on my team told me he got 2 arrows up for our last win which made me tilt even more. If you base rank increasing on combat score, how is it even possible I get less for having more? It's just ridiculous.

Message to rito: pls dont make this game so extreme to rank up sometimes cuz cases like these are really making me (and I'm sure others aswell) rage more than slightly.

The game where raze was dc'd for 18 rounds and we still won (+8 elo)

The game before, which cost me 40 elo and a demotion
