Depending on how you're doing in tournaments in your matchups, that could very well be the caliber of players that you're rated as going up against. The matchmaker bases your opponent selection against other players that have similar overall ratings as you do across all tournaments. That's not "Scored 250 overall in Lightning Round 5" rating, but an overall behind the scenes rating. So if you're consistently winning against opponents and raising your rating, then not dropping back down, you're going to be matched against other opponents that are doing the same. That's a pretty simplified way of looking at how the matchmaker works, but basically, that's the case. It's pretty likely that the matches you're seeing is because you're fighting "outside your league" on offense, so the matches are necessarily harder for you at the moment.
