For me, I always place the games rank as the highest priority. Only if my position can not drastically improve will I consider league standing. And if I’m going to be last, I try not to influence the other positions in the game and will resign if it is hopeless
personally i actually would prefer games not be in a season and each player gain/lost rank based on individual game merit. But at the time, this was not possible before and we wanted a way to reward steady placement.
If people just throw games to influence seasonal position, it becomes too much metagaming of standing and later season games become more about that and less on the gameplay of each game.
