Why is it worth this league now when you win you get 2,3,5,8,10 points bit when you lose they take away 10 ,15, 20 or more points this just seems wrong you are supposed to be going up the ladder not down so what's up with this hope someone can help thanks. .....

Take a look at the "league system info" announcement.

The net total points for each game is zero. The total gained cups equals the total lost. Any other way would break the system.

But what's the point of leagues? The MM frequently pairs you up against players 3 levels above/below your current league.
Here's the breakdown from a recent random match of mine:
Diamond 3: 4 players Gold 1: 1 Gold 2: 0 Gold 3: 4 Silver 1: 1 Silver 2: 1 Silver 3: 1
And yeah, the guy in Silver 3 picked up the -20. Big surprise when the 11 other players in the match are 1-6 leagues above him. But should he drop down in the Silver 3 rankings because of this beatdown?
It's asinine to have leagues when you are losing/gaining points from multi-league matchups.

Tighten the matching criterion and you will wait longer for matches, something pix has said they are looking at. Personally I think it should be a user configurable slider Prefer quicker MM <---------> Prefer MM closer to my league

Personally I think it should be a user configurable slider Prefer quicker MM <---------> Prefer MM closer to my league I agree with this. But at it's core, the League system doesn't work properly when players are facing opponents more than 1 league above or below them. It all becomes a giant pointless churn where you advance or drop based mostly on luck of the draw.

It's to assist tanking. Getting tankers to drop faster by having -20 gets them out of the higher leagues quicker. The downside for players is that the new / low level players get butchered more often. For Pix this is a good thing, as the newer / lower players will then spend real money on getting gold bots to escape the massacre. - opinion, not fact. Getting rid of the negative points, or putting in some kind of safeguard (only last 3 times then no more minus points for 10 matches) would help solve the tanking epidemic. However, do Pix really want to solve it?
