Everyone seems to be confused on how ELL system works. So I did some looking around wondering if my ELL knowledge was accurate.
battle net explanation link
from this link, I picked out the important parts.
"Battle.net determines a player's skill based upon the player's wins and losses, as well as the quality of opponents faced. Battle.net does not simply use a player's win percentage when determining that player's true skill. If your current level is lower than your ELL, that Battle.net will increase the XP gained from a win and reduce the XP lost when you are defeated. However, if your current level is higher than your ELL, then Battle.net will reduce your XP gained from a win and increase the XP you lose from a loss. The first factor is that we didn't want to destroy all the work that players had invested to achieve very high levels on the Battle.net ladders, so we did not reset the ladder. Instead, Battle.net gave each player an initial skill rating based upon that player's previous ladder rank. Thus, high-level players initially had a very high ELL based on skill, but they didn't necessarily have as many games played as Battle.net expected them to have played.Battle.net also modifies the ELL based upon the number of games played in that game type."
The answer doesnt seem simple one answer, rather combination of lot of things.
