Win/Lose Inconsistency
Sort:
Long losing and winning streaks, yet I’m not playing any different. What gives? Does the matching algorithm just suck? Because if it were actually random this would not happen.

The ratings here can be funny. If I was you, I wouldn't worry about the ratings. My advice is to just play your best and have fun!

Even if it were totally random, it would happen, just rarely. But of course it's not random. I would question your assumption that "yet I’m not playing any different". How would you know that? Varying performance is totally normal for humans.
Everybody has good days and bad days.
To prevent losing streaks: whenever you lose a game, stop playing and analyse it first so as to learn from your mistake and to avoid mental tilt.

Hm... I have the same feeling.
But I noticed when I play too many games a day... my loosing streak starts after eightth or nineth game.
So it's better to stop playing after a few games in row.
