@Balladalidila Rank level cap should be raised and the matchmaking should get reworked then. I keep getting below level 20 teammates VS silver and gold players sporting plat, diamonds, and master badges, premade teams, and those with 20 kills, 4k bombs, etc.

Yeah but I think that is a separate issue. I also noticed that it seem to be MORE high rank and high dmg badge players in silver/gold lobbies that dont seem to be smurfs but legit main accounts. This might be because of the slower climb and that many ex-hardstuck diamond4s now struggle to solo their way through plat and therefore are in no rush to get out of Gold lobbies that seemingly are shared with silver and even some bronze players.

Or maybe thats a deliberate part of the reform. Lets take gold lobbies as an example. A good rank system must allow a "gold skilled player" to remain in gold rank games indefinitely unless he improves and becomes better than an average gold player.. But to achieve this, they cant have only gold players fighting other gold players, because if we think logically, there will then be a continuous outflow of gold players, promoted to platinum, assumingly the current best gold players. So what this means is ofc that it will become easier and easier to reach Platinum from Gold as the split goes on. To forcing Gold players to have like 20% of low plats in their lobbies will force players to actually prove that deserve to play in Platinum if they want to be promoted.
