Blade7658: All of that has been changed some by the new system that drops your average if you beat somebody of a higher tier.
Hey Blade7658,
I would like to correct some information here. The new anti-sandbagging system does not operate like this. Obviously, if you beat someone at a higher tier than you in one game, the only thing that will happen is people will congratulate you :)
The system tracks your play consistency. If you consistently beat players of a higher tier, the system may recognize you as having a much higher skill level then your tier denotes, and it will move you up.
Stay classy,
