Pairing is really influencing your rating in a negative way. Namely, being all the time paired to players with way lower rating than yours is preventing you to have higher rating and even to be in leaderboards reward group. In two consequent seasons I was very close to Bronze,20th place, and the reason why I did not succeed was the pairing since I did not fight against direct rivals for rewards at all.
Good to point out is that in Bronze, system is forcing low mana battles, up to 1000 rating points difference, avoiding to match you against direct rivals, many battles lost to lower rated players because of illogical working luck. One loss to lower rated player is disastrous to your rating. Since low mana battles are forced, losses are unavoidable.
