i have 2 questions here, do you gain more elo in the higher elo ranks? if no > do you get more elo on a winning streak?

Since elo is about normalizing your elo (rating) to your skill (win / lose), it is likely that "better players" in higher elo get more elo when they win than that they lose, since the chances of losing would be higher?

OR

Being on a winning or losing streak exponentially increases your elo on win or lose rate, since you your chances of winning in the elo your in is too low (on a winning spree) or too high (on a loosing streak) for you?

I really think 1 of these theories has to affect your K value, because your elo should be "normal" at a 50/50 score.

I ask this because i have noticed that i usualy win or lose 12 elo but now im on a winning streak i get +14. Then again i was in silver elo now im in gold elo. I have played about 1100 games ranked in total. So my elo has normalized (a long while ago :P)
