There's no gloating or mockery from @Double_Helix_DNA in this thread that I can see, if anything the perception is more for the other side (historically people are far more likely to be put off when they are the ones matched with opponents +400 than -400).

The
question
is
given
there
are
two
matchmaking
bands
(
wide
and
narrow)
,
does
a
game
that
is
predicted
as
90-10%
match
player's
expectations
of
being
a
narrow,
close
match?
Or
should
this
pairing
only
occur
in
wide
since
the
MM
system
will
normally
give
you
a
handicap
for
this
kind
of
gap?
Or
where
the
boundary
between
the
two
bands
be?

These
questions
seemed
pretty
reasonable
to
me
and
do
not
imply
disdain
towards
anybody,
ratings
exist
for
the
sake
of
the
matchmaker,
not
for
our
egos.

(
The
algorithm
is
of
course
not
an
oracle
and
ranking
systems
only
have
an
accuracy
around
55%-60%
at
best.
The
prediction
may
be
very
wrong
for
a
single
game
(
people
behave
very
randomly
and
have
good
and
bad
days
and
maps)
,
but
will
hold
some
truth
statistically.
If
your
WHR
is
completely
wrong
vs
your
level
of
play,
it
will
correct
pretty
quickly,
the
ladder
rating
may
lag,
but
WHR
jumps
up
fast.
