SC actually admitted to the matchmaking, saying that players on losing streaks will be matched with other players on losing streaks to "break the streak".

It's probably why you'll face hard opponents even while you drop.

Say there's 2 people with 4K trophies and 11/9/6/3 cards. They then drop to 2500 to farm Clan Chests.

Perhaps they'll get matched with each other, and with other players who have probably dropped out of 4K. Maybe it's little wonder why there are level 11s in Frozen Peak...
