Part of the reason this is possible is that in the current rating system the minimum rating point increase for a ranked battle win is 3 points. So these accounts are able to advance 3 points at a time no matter how far ahead of their opponent they are in rating. In order to try to address this going forward, we will be changing the minimum rating increase to 0 for Bronze and Silver league ranked battles and only when the winning player is above the maximum rating level for their league.
This is maybe true in novice or bronze league, but I can tell you that in silver league it gets preaty hard. Since you need a win rate of over 92% (you gain 3 points per win and loose 36 per loose) it is preaty hard to climb with a bot in silver league. The problem I see now for this league is that it will be nearly impossible as a non bot player to climb the leaderboard, because most of the time in match making you are paired with people with way lower rank and so you would get 0 points and then if you loose against this player it is even a harder hit. In my opinion this change is only reasonable if you make the match making so that you only face players of your rating.
