    The answer is that the game initially places you in a low MMR lobby, and then shortly afterwards moves you to higher ones.

    Quite why it's setup that way you have to find your own interpretation for. Usually:

    1) Protection from skill decay, so you have a chance to warm up

    2) Engagement based match making, to give you warm fuzzy feelings and lure you back into the game, before they turn on the frustration/release addiction loop.

    @lnxtv I definitely understand where you're coming from. I tend to do really well in my warm up match or two, often picking up a win, but then struggle after that. I've always assumed it's just the game being nice for a match or two to simply let me warm up and have a good experience, and then throw me to the wolves! I don't really get the hit-reg issues on my end, but I definitely get put against much tougher opponents after 1-2 matches each day.
