So if you're 1k, and you beat an 800 player, you might get 15 points, if you lose to a 600 player you lose 40 points, if you beat a 1200 player you gain 40 points, if you lose to a 1200 player you lose 15 points.
Random numbers but you get the point
Well that makes my wins feel **** and my losses feel shittier
The problem is the rating doesn't mean too much, a player can fluctuate 50-200 points in a single sitting quite easily, so I don't know why the rating difference is so big in some wins/losses, don't feel bad about it, just getting unlucky
