@AnAdolt
Thanks for the advice. Yup i think the timing may have to do with it.
I'm not entirely confident about breaking out of the rating bracket though. I was around 220 when I first ran into a whole series of exploiters, something like 11+, with maybe 2-3 wins in between. Then i dropped to 170. Lucky enough to meet 2 decent chaps who play fair and managed to win the matches, but my guess is i'll probably get stuck in this 170-240 and maybe above bracket, since I'm only gaining a few points per victory, and 1 loss sets me back more than 2 wins. And to make things worse, its messing around with my gameplay and overall "fun" experience, since I find myself trying to "extend" the game (i have to assume they are all exploiters for now, since i do meet more exploiters than players who play fairly atm, and that they will instantly hit that red button if they feel they are losing) by making less threatening decisions.
In short, I just want to play to explore strategies/game mechanics, but these exploiters are making it really difficult now.

I tried playing on both PC and phone, but getting the same experience. Perhaps its just my luck. Will just keep playing more and see how things work out
Oh and thanks for the tip, didn't know that!
