Decks Losing Shocking Amounts of Rank

I also remember there was a visual bug, but in general the higher leagues have to have a really high win rate to stay in the top 500,
currently I'm negative in silver with a Win-Loss-Ratio of 2 (I keep trying to say KDR, too much COD for me)

Lol, I just got +180 ranking for submitting a new deck. I went from Like 380 (deck from yesterday 8w/3L), to 200 (deck today, no wins/losses)

platinum deck, 14-2.  deck saw zero action all yesterday, went from rank 180 to rank 160 with a rating of 101.

deck now 15-5, rating -14  rank 265  (just won one, gained 6 and no rank)

-40 per loss??  5 per win?

would rather deck see more action, its almost 3 days old and only 20 games total.  last deck had easily three times as many games by now.

(this part is opinion and theory.  feel free to ignore if proved wrong )
no ranking system handles completely new decks/players well.  might need to introduce a "challenge new deck" option that gives less reward but allows the new decks to gather a win/loss before wrecking the rankings.  something like 7-10 games before getting added to regular pool so they can be added appropriately instead of eating up lots of games.

The numbers you are looking for are constantly changing (dynamic).

...

They have to change to keep new decks close to rank #250, the more decks are submitted, the higher the competition for the top 250 positions, the lower the rating gained per win.

Yeah, been putting up a deck every day, usually fewer than 10 plays.

Edit: I was at 104 with a shrieker rush from yesterday, I uploaded another one today, and I dropped to 250. IS it bad to penalize people for changing decks every day?
