Same thing happened to me, but I didn’t mind too much cause I was only ranked like 2950th. As long as I have Wins > Losses, I’m happy with my ranking, even if it is completely false.
To be fair, all you need to do is join/start a ranked match. Before you accept to start, bring up the “Recent Players” list. It shows you who you’re up against. You can drop and rinse repeat if you recognize the name as being a good player.
Ah? Is that true? So you can tell who your playing before you start? No wonder people keep dropping on me before the match starts. LOL…
This makes sense (haven’t tried it). But if you do come across a good player, the whole point **is **to play them and beat them. You don’t want to fight scrubs in ranked, or your rating will never go up, and you only increase your chances of eventually losing to one, which will drop your rating.
Or are you saying you drop against a scrub before a match starts? That seems pointless too.
Mark me down as one of the players who have had their rating dropped to 0. Not fun. Not a big deal, but still… not fun.
I use the “LB” players list method as well, just to see if I run into any high calibre players like Valle or Sirlin. If I do, I immediately pick Cammy, to see how she does against them now. First player I ran into last night: Jason Mutha-F***in’ Cole! Hahaha. Awesome. I could finally try and see how Cammy does against Dhalsim in STHD.

It looks like if you played any ranked matches recently your rating is gone.
tl;dr…my rating is gone too hehe
It’s not strange. It’s HD Remix. Delayed for years, yet buggy as fuck.
Did I mention the art sucks too? The artists drew a bunch of lines just to make it look like muscles. They clearly look like jigsaw puzzles.
Yeah, the bug hit me last night.
Only thing we can all hope for to fix not only the rating system, but the occasional hiccups and disconnects during online play, is a good ol’ PATCH. We’ll see, though.
Yep, I’m down to a rank of zero as well. What a fall, from #1 to dead last
What’s even wierder is that my rank continues to be zero, even though I keep playing games. It looks to me like once you are dropped to zero, you are there permanently.
I also suffer from this stupid ranking bug. I am on PSN exclusively now. Looks like the ranking bug apply to both XBL and PSN. I hope they patch this soon.
On the subject of avoiding players there’s an even more dumb thing about it.
If someone reps you to avoid you it also applies to ranked matches.
So all the “scrubs” will keep neg repping good players to avoid them and keep playing against “scrubs”.
Eventually people will start to run out of people to play and there will be two groups of players, which will screw up the legitimacy of the leaderboards even more than the droppers are doing.
It gets annoying having to keep trying different people in the custom match over and over since everyone that loses to you is avoiding you.
Can’t fight against that.
I’ve seen i was being avoided by 72% of my opponents…for fake reasons.
42% “left quickly”, 14% disruptive language and 14% communication behavior.
I’ve never even used the headphones lol, and have only a few disc.
Make up your mind? If you are good, you have no life, if you suck it’s because you are a scrub, washed up vet, noob/casual player?
Well I avoid people due to very horrible lag issues sometimes and I have to just put in something that isn’t why I do it in the first place.
i’m through with ranked matches! at least i got my 100 win acheivement
Yeah, i could understand that, if i was lagging… xD
