@andre1hhh That's only true if there are enough masters soloqueing. If most masters are playing in a full squad, then you won't ever queue up with them. Not only that, but it is also likely that the team that kills you is better than you. This also means that masters survive longer and are thus more likely to kill you.
Because skill factors into winning and surviving, you are more likely to encounter higher skilled players than if they were lower skilled.
Furthermore I'm not defending this at all, I'm saying that the concequences of the current version of ranked and of slightly poor matchmaking is even worse than you would expect.
The fact that players are matched against masters and pred in silver is rediculous! But it is also utterly predictable, because that happens when you matchmake purely on rank
