Why does the game always match me against lower elo than mine ?

Hello, there’s something I don’t really understand about the game’s matchmaking system.

I almost always get matched against players who are 200–300 Elo below me. It means I win most of the time, but only gain a tiny amount of Elo (usually around 5–10). On the other hand, if I lose (bad guesses happen) I lose a huge amount instead (like 20–25).

The problem is that since I never face higher-rated players, I never really get the chance to gain a lot of Elo from a single match.

Is it because there aren’t enough players in the game or something ?

Thank you

Hey,

I’m running into something weird in competitive duels right now. Ever since I got promoted to Silver I, my opponents have actually gotten worse. I expected things to get harder going from Silver III to I, but it’s been the complete opposite.

I’m clearly getting matched with beginners : they guess Taiwan in Japan, Spain in Chile, England in NZ... stuff like that. I have no idea why. It’s gotten to the point where I’m on a 16 wins streak even though I haven’t really improved

Anyone know what’s going on?
