Getting better or everyone getting worse?

I don’t post on the forums often, but I wanted to get some feedback on this thought.

My ratings keep improving, although I don’t feel like I have been getting all that much better.... if anything, it seems like the talent pool on this server keeps getting worse which is just inflating my ratings.


Anyone feel the same way or am I actually slightly improving or is it a combination of both?

Players ratings are on a bell curve.  As more players join, anyone on the curve below the average rating of the incoming players will go down as anyone above that will go up.  Think of it this way, at your rating level more people are joining that you can beat than are joining that you can't beat.  So your rating increases.
