Which is just logic, since it's based on a simplified elo ranking system. You can gain a lot of points if you win against a much better ranked opponent, but you don't lose much points if you lose.
In the other hand, you don't gain a lot of points if you win against a lower ranked opponent, but you lose a lot points if you lose the battle.
