The method listed doesn't use a team change - it uses alts in the bench.
I don't see an easy fix. It does sound like the rewards for beating a lower rated team are too high - ideally a hundred fights between any two groups should leave the rating more or less unchanged, so if a "really 1700" player can reliably increase their rating by arranging fights against 1500 teams then the rewards for winning and losing are off. It's always going to be possible to use alts to feed points into the system somehow though.
