Because you're played enough games to be out of the "speed ranking phase" it's like sharpening a knife from scratch, first you get a very coarse edge, then start to refine it. You're past the "coarse ELO" stage and now you will notice your ELO will only go up or down before 10-20 per match. Sometimes mine would even go down or up by as little as 5.
