I understand generally that the points are given to and from everyone when you win and lose, but i dont understand if a bunch of new people sign up and put more points in the pool, that the overall skill demographic shouldnt change?

I don't think there was any mass downgrade. It just looks like you have experienced a downturn over the last year.
Time to work harder.
