You are supposed to lose more from losing than you win from winning (except on very new accounts) that is simply how these systems function. You would see the same on smogon, starcraft, dota, or chess. They don't use a strict elo system[en.wikipedia.org] but their variation of it stil applies this to any account that is considered to be stable. I think blizzard's wonky calibration is due to what happened in early starcraft 2. I do think it's arbitariness does help cut down alting...

So falling that many points due to those matches, even against a series of high rank opponets, is correct on the systems part.

Supports/Tanks versus damage. I think these are still misunderstood by developers, but for games that encourage team queues the importance of traditional objective/kill metrics is easier to implement. I think that weighting them is only great when solo queues are an active point of interest. After all med kit contention is a bit touchy to measure and destroys use of a blanket healing formula.

As for the matchmaking- In that case you are justified. The ladder system is extremely hostile to solo queues. Personally, I feel like you can mitigate the problems by joing a team yourself? I understand reluctance if you haven't done it before, but it doesn't really doesn't demand a much more difficult commitment than solo play.

In any case tournaments are a better competetive venue than ladders.. they encourage surprising opponet's instead of formulaic play, and usually downplay the importance of assuming oppnets strictly use meta rollouts. Of course ladders are nice in that they provide an immediate access to matches, but. as you say, it isn't really that competetive if not used "abusively" since communication is so important.

you sound fun at parties
