It might happen that you get that 10%/90% ratio, but the law of great numbers says that it will move to 50/50 when the number of games will be big.

What I mean is that it is extremely unlikely to happen.

Now if you'd take your old account, you would get mad about the shittyness of the guy you play with (compared to your current skill). But you'd slowly go up and would get back to 1200. It would be a long process where you win, 55% to 65% of games.
