That’s not really my point. I’m not claiming to be some amazing player that just can’t figure out why everyone keeps beating me. There genuinely seems to be some artifact of the new skill system that created some unintentional pockets of disparity with the rest of the league

So far DMG_SW's theory makes the most sense to me - the "disparities" are caused by actual new players whose SRs are still from the initial seeding. The solution could be as simple as make the initial SR much lower than now - e.g. divide it by 2, effectively putting them all in Carb 5. Now that all existing players have played for a while, the only players who would receive the initial seeding would be those who have just made level 85.
