please consider, that for searching an opponent the system can only use your record up to that moment. The system can't know that you're about to win several games you have ongoing. With the possibility of up to 20 games at once it shouldn't come as a surprise that the adjustment for better opponent's feels delayed because only your most recently started matches are matched with your current rating.

I think these two issues, that delay everything, are what most people are experiencing that are on a 20-x streak. This also shows it's very challenging to develop a ranking system that can handle multiple games at once. (the well known rating systems like ELO, sc2's MMR or XBoxLive TrueSkill usually aren't confronted with this problem)

Hey Eijolend! =D What you say is certainly a factor, but I think it extends quite beyond that. When I played league before getting bored from consistently being matched against weaker players, I usually only had 2 or 3 games going at once. As a result, the problem you specify shouldn't really extend to me and as such, when I was on a ~20 win streak I should have been playing Masters players. Instead I just kept getting matched against Gifted over and over again.

Now I've gotten fed up with league because why would I want to play 30 more one-sided games when I could be playing more friendlies with you and other Super-Titans? Maybe when I have more time to trudge through these dull league matches I'll get around to it*, but in the mean time I'll just stick to playing friendlies and 2v2 with you. =P

*or if league promotion is tuned to be easier for people with disproportionately high win records (please? =O)

If a player has 90%+ w/l just give them some harder matches already...
