Ranking up while losing in limited events
I've played 4 premier drafts of HOB, I have not won more than 2 games in any single event and I'm ranking up. This is evil. I'm playing a ranked queue against players consistently above my skill level winning 33% - 40% of my games and ranking up. Half of the issue is the lack of participation in Universes Beyond, players decay far below their skill level and prey upon weaker players. The other half of the issue is WOTC's ranking system that inflates player rankings when they are losing more than 50% of their games, 2 pips per win -1 pip per loss (going 1-2 is net 0). Which ensures that a player losing 60% of their games ranks to gold/ plat and receives no bonus rewards from any limited events. Limited, especially at the lowest ranks, should be a place where new players can learn and not lose 2/3 of their games and be locked out of rewards.

That is so sad, I wish they would make it fairer. I personally play way less draft because of this. Maybe look into Cube with friends. That way you only have to buy cards once (or pr*xy them once)
