fake matches if you gain rating too fast

It’s super obvious that if I gain a bit of rating by going on a run of wins, that is soon followed by a bunch of fake opponents, all in a row, who are clearly not playing at the level of their rating, so as to make sure I get a bunch of losses to offset my gains. Please don’t deny that this is happening. It’s really clear and obvious. Just stop doing it. Give me real matches every time, no set ups, no bots. Just let me climb naturally. There’s no reason in the world why I should go 9-1 one day, then 0-8 the next against random opponents of the same rating level. I’m not suddenly just forgetting how to play. Stop manipulating my rating and just give me honest match making. Thanks you

The site doesn't use fake members. You're playing accounts made by other people.

Uhuh, so for days at a time, all my errors become completely transparent to all my opponents, and they all suddenly become super consistent checkmating machines, even though a few days ago I was beating everyone I came across in the exact same rating range. Nothing to see, just 40 games in a row of really bad matchmaking luck where I hit nothing but 1100’s who play like IM Smurf accounts. Ok 🙄

It's technically possible they artificially supplement the player lists but why would they do this? It's not like they earn more bucks with making you play more ot fewer games by subtly manipulating our frustration levels. Could be it's a rather heavy-handed anti-cheating mechanism where they try to gauge your objective playing strength by posing you realtime problems to solve. I don't think it's completely out of the question that they might be trying to keep match-making waiting times to a minimum by pairing you with a bot occasionally.

The site doesn't employ bots in the playing pools.

the case might be is that when you are in a streak, you get paired with other opponents who are also in a streak and they might be really tough. after a few losses, you go into tilt and start losing more games even against weaker opponents. then you get people who are really easy to beat and this cycle goes over and over again

my suggestion is when you are lossing a lot of games, take a 30 min break, go outside, take a water break, and then come back. you will be feeling more refreshed and your mind will be inn the right placr

I don't think streaks are taken into account for pairing purposes.
