After searching these pages I have found no mention of it, so I would like to bring to your attention the possibility that time is factored into those equations.
3-4 months ago, I was leveling up like crazy. I was still having single-win skill progressions in the 45-47 area. Then, life called, and I got off for 3 months.
When I came back, I got got back into my rythm in other playlists (which, according to the facts, should not affect my slayer rank), and even became better than before. By that I mean, I couldn't use the BR against other BR's 3-4 months ago, and since the playlist wasn't so BR laden back then, I could get away with it.
Now after coming back, I'm more in the 3-4 win area to level up or down, with no change to the amount of wins or losses.
Is it possible that prolonged inactivity can cause the system to forget your mu or sigma? Thus desiring you to reprove yourself before it takes you back to the same level? Thanks.There is no indication anywhere that time is factored in to the equation. It is very difficult to make it in to 45+ range with a high sigma unless you won almost every game. Going up or down after ever 1 or 2 games is very unusual. The fact that you can still go up or down after 3 or 4 games is an indicator that your skill level is still pretty fluid and you have a relatively high sigma.
I didn't look through much of your history but I did see you've played some games with teammates 20 levels below you. Keep in mind that those games are given less weight in skill updates so you get very little for the win. Also, going up after 3 or 4 wins at your level is good and about the best you'll get at this point. For some, by the time they get to 45+, they've played so many games and won and lost so many that it takes 10 wins to go up one level.
Anyway, I do not believe time is factored in. You have the fact you played in a mixed skill party, you are winning and losing (not just winning every game to keep your sigma high) and as the population matures it becomes harder to get to the top.
