BUT if you applied laws of statistics (namely binominal law(i hope it is how it is called in english) )you would find out that the chance that you win 32 games in a row with 50/50 chance of loss/win is minimal and therefore the chance of accidentaly ending so high up or so far down is completely non-existient (your relative deviation is just too small)(i hope that i am not saying complete bollocks).

This is why this system works in a first place.

If you are lucky you maybe can get from starting 1200 to 1400 and then slowly fall down to your true rating cause "my team was noob". This also creates the notion of elo hell. Same with bad manners, poor communication and all the bad things happening in elo hell.
