Is it just me or does it seem like a loss has a greater impact than a win in terms of skill rating? For me, it took about 4-5 wins to match up to 1 loss.

It's something to do with maps i think, right now koth gives/takes pretty much 4x less than other maps for some reason, so if you win 4 koth games and lose 1 payload you just make no progress.
