I just got matched up and finished a game with rank 46. joe 123951 (previously ranked 23)

He only has 11 league game wins. How is this possible? I chatted with him in-game and he confirmed that he only has won 11 league games and he barely plays the game. Furthermore, no offense to him, but he is clearly not a top 100 caliber player, but I won 16 points for beating him (not complaining! but there is definitely something wrong).

I also asked him if he was a beta tester and he was not. So again, how is this possible? Even going 11-0 off the bat should not put his hidden skill rating in the top 50...

Thoughts?

Really? There are 11-0 Supertitans still who even have top 100 MMR? And yet I have friends with 90%+ records with 30+ games played stuck in gifted who are still being matched with gifted -.-

What's going on? =P

I know there are probably some ST players who simply haven't played and as a result haven't been demoted after falsely placing in ST, but how can someone who has barely played be in the top 100 MMR? It's not because s/he's really good and Outwitters lets your MMR rise quickly because... well, we all know that it takes MANY MANY games to get your MMR up even if you have a nearly perfect win-rate. I wonder what's happening here.
