I'll console you, it's always been like this, it's getting worse and nothing will change because there are fewer and fewer players. I only play with the same people every day anymore. It's like I'm locked in a lobby with 100-200 people and we're just swapping. This makes the game no longer fun. Same 3stacks all the time, same random teammates all the time, same masters and preds all the time.
Matchmaking is too strict for solo q. If you're entering a solo q game, matchmaking should be broad enough so you're not constantly stuck in the same lobby with the same people (pubs and LTMs)
