Some random feedback, for what it's worth

Maybe you are matched with them because they lost a lot of games in the row and their skill rating fell but your rating is high from not losing...? So after you lose a few games you will be back among the people of your skill.

Personally I like playing against better players as there's always something to learn from your loss. That is not to say that I like losing. Anyway, have not noticed that I'm matched against people much better than me from the update. But I didn't get matched to anyone less skilled - that is, all my games in the last few days (wins and losses) have been hard fought.
