you get notching from it. you don't learn a lot and gain abysmal elo reward. Playing against weaker opponent is really stressful because if you lose you gonna lose a lot and you should be much better than them but if it is in reverse when you don't really care because you know they are much better than you, so you can't really lose but you can really win. You can win more but the loss is much more harsh and brutal
Yes, indeed, you learn nothing from beating up the weak.
Moreover, it makes you cocky.
That’s why I have set my rating range to -0 +400. It’s a game changer.
Tendencies have shown players to be best situated for improvement when scoring about .400. To give oneself a viable 25% chance against the high end of opponents, a range expecting a .4 result would be about -50~+200. However, it is noted that a match seek will tend to attract opponents on the low end of your seek range. Therefore 0 to +400 is a good idea. You are looking to average about 75 points over your head, while still having plausible chances against the high end.

But if I get another country in my passport as a reward I will not complain
The problem is often times that when you play against a lot «weaker» opponents, you loose no matter how well you play. You know why (hint: there are not only one reason)

Do you have a reference for this statement?
