Yeah once you reach rank 5 you cant de-rank but its not like i was on a huge lose streak or anything for it to queue me up with a much lower rank player..
on a more serious note than the other two - you know HS has a point system called MMR which is quite similar to let's say chess ranking system and while the game tries to match you with someone close to your actual rank if you're below legend, if there is no one in the close vicinity then it starts looking at mmr and other people in the queue and it may so happen that someone has a very high MMR on lower ranks and low MMR on higher ranks, thus two players are being matched for a game
I think it's because it's the 31 and people in low ranks don't play much I think.. you either get to rank 5 or you don't I think it queued like this because there aren't many people at the time in lower ranks. (maybe)
or dunno maybe a bug once time a streamer in legend got queued with a rank 21 player.
Yeah it is fair because your MMR match the one of the rank 14 guy is normal. Other example if you are low legend the more you lose the more you play vs rank 3-2-1 and way less vs other legend players.

Rank 5 vs Rank 14 queue up... seems fair and balanced
because you are playing hunter
rank 5 +10 because u play hunter seems about right.

Never seen that before. Maybe a bug somehow? If it was a one off then strange, but i don't think it's common at all.

Ok, it's obvious that HS pair players by MMR, not by rank how they lied before.

When you go hard with a poorly ranked account and win like 10+ games in a row your MMR explodes.
I did :D
