Need explanation about the first 10 games thing in ranked

Not complaining here, just want to understand.

 

I started the season with a 5-5 ratio. Not great. I won the first game and lost the next four, and I know the first five games out of ten matter the most. But still... That got me a 1178 rating.

On the leaderboards I saw many players with three or four wins out of ten and a rating well in the 1300's. How does that work? I don't get it, really. It was at the very beginning btw, when a lot of players had yet to get their rating, if it helps. Thanks.

The number of points you win and lose per game also depends on the expectation to win or lose the game based on the comparison of the ELOs between the participants. So, every win and loss is valued differently. Don't know if it helps.
