I don't buy skins very often at all, but last night I saw a cool ninja cat and had to break out my wallet to drop a few bucks on it. Right afterwards I played a solo no build match and won! Very fun. Then I played some more and got my ass worked like usual. I started thinking about it and I feel like the first game I play after a purchase is easier just by a little bit.

Is it possible that the skill based match making is skewed in your favor as a reward for a purchase?

It makes sense because why would you stay on and keep buying skins if you keep losing all the time. I think it's possible they throw you a bone by putting you in easier lobbies for a game or two as a reward for buying stuff. Has anyone else experienced this?
