Because the CoH2 playerbase is not HUGE it is pretty rare to get mathed up with a player that is close to your ELO-range. But I have noticed that the skill level of people with rank between 100 and 300 can be close to eachother. So I guess that is the same for lower ranks to
When you have to play vs someone that has a much better rank than you, you will hardly drop in rank, but you can learn a lot of it. If you play vs someone with a much lower rank you will have an easy win but hardly any improvement in rank
Also, people that don't play for a time will decay in rank. So if you don't play for a couple of weeks your rank will drop down. After a month or two (not sure?) your rank will be hidden.
