Just looking for some clarification, as I have a couple of interesting cases.
The first is someone with a hefty number of complaints, yet still remains on 3 stars. While he does have 4 upvotes, I honestly wouldn't think this would be enough to cancel out the 21 downs...
Contrast this to my own rating. I recently just missed a tourney due to being overseas, and a couple teammates felt it necessary to fully utilize the complaint system (justifiably so, but I personally wouldn't neg rep my own clanmate

). A couple of my previous praises seem to have "expired," so I currently only have 2 upvotes (I had more a couple days ago) and 5 down (3 of these being from the missed tourney). This, surprisingly, bumped me down to 2 stars!

*Just feel it necessary to state that the "unsporting conduct" was probably just from a salty noob, and the inactivity from one of those few times I dropped out due to my faulty wifi :/
The last one I'd like to mention is the apparent lack of "penalties" for those who are REALLY awful. I found some pleb who literally hid in a corner and typed song lyrics into the chat all game. Unsurprisingly, he had ZERO stars (something I didn't know existed, because I never actually scrolled down on the star description page lol) and many downvotes. The blurb for "Absolutely untrustworthy players" states that they receive penalties. However, it seems this person has gotten off scott-free, minus his horrid rating, which he probably doesn't even care about. As this thread accurately states, by the time a team experiences a repeat troll, it is too late and the damage has already been done:

Don't get me wrong, I think the new system is great, it could just really use some tweaking for accuracy and whatnot.
TL;DR
Someone with 4 upvotes and 21 down remains on 3 stars.
Someone else (me) has 2 upvotes and 5 down, yet is on 2 stars.
There appears to be a lack of penalties for those who deserve it (exhibit A: someone with 33 downvotes and no stars or upvotes).
