there is no rank locked 50 if thats what you mean. Every 50, no matter how many wins, can be lost.
The ceiling you are referring to isnt important really. No one can say if there is a spot that you stop gaining trueskill, nor can anyone disprove that. The only way to know is by beating all the top players, with the best records, every time and never lose a single game. But even if you did, losing to anyone would drop your trueskill dramatically so you would still be able to lose it eventually.
As for what affects losses, the party size doesnt matter. Only the aggregate trueskill of the other team matters. Streaks dont matter in themselves, but rather add to the players trueskill, as long as that player had beaten other good players in the first place. The streak in of itself doesnt matter though.
I was under the impression that streaks worked thus: The more games someone plays in a certain playlist, the less deviation is available for wins or losses. As the gamer plays consistently, the deviation or "uncertainty" continues to drop. However, if the player begins to have sudden, unexpected results (winning 25 games straight is an example, if a bit extreme), the deviation and uncertainty begin to rise, allowing the player to move more quickly in either direction. SO if someone is on a streak and is on the opposite team, if I beat them, does that uncertainty get tallied in the enemy team's aggregate?
