Matchmaking is broken!
So I play with two of my friends and we play mostly Pubs. We are gold level players. Never climbed above gold 1. And yet, in pubs, we keep betting annihilated by players with 4k, Master/Predator ...

@MariusRZR696 there might be some truth in what you are saying about the sheriff - maybe SBMM takes into account the most recent events and stats. E.g. you win a game or have a high kill game, next one will be a tougher lobby for you as game things you are too good for the previous day lobby now. At the same time pro players (assuming you talk about them) get smacked in public lobbies (I think that does happen, they are not godlike after all) - so at that point your stats might be comparable and yours might be even better.
I am quite sure game is not taking into account you "whole" stats over multiple splits and seasons etc. otherwise that would level out over eternity and would keep placing much better players in weaker lobbies as their progress would be way ahead of "average" stats.

I really don't know what to say anymore.
Just today I played against people that had: 33,000 kills, 11,000 kills, 20,000 kills... In public matchmaking!
How me and my Noob-Team(tm) can ever compete with that. Mind You that very often I am matched with people that do not understand pings and when I ping better armor they just ignore it and run around with white armor! It's impossible to go against such good players that have put hundreds of hours into the game.
It's like putting a bully into the kindergarten and call it "fun" or "engaging".
This is just an example of one of many such lobbies. Usually most of the times there is at least one 11k player in it that clears at least 8-12 players. "FUN".
- @PsyhiX69 I'm having similar lobbies. My start of season 11 was excellent and I won 2 out of my first 3 games, giving me a k/d of 13. Now the game thinks I'm the warlord himself and I'm stuck in premade sweat lobbies... and now that my k/d is back around 1, I hope I'll get a break again.
@Solim66 / @PsyhiX69 to be fair - you can't expect to win every game or even have a fighting chance.
BR and such lobbies should be approached from a bit more humble perspective. Either:
a) ok I will give it my best shot, let's see how I compare vs such players - to be honest the number of games means nothing so do those old season Predator badges, no one decent enough now is not scared of oldtimers who used to be good or got the badge when there were 3000+ preds.
b) evaluate the situation that ok there is a crazy squad in the lobby = so all fights you take should be in 3rd party format, even those crazy ppl do lose 3rd party fights more often than not.
c) try to play more passive, disengage if you start seeing that someone is just frying you, let other squads - potentialy as good as this in the screenshot - take out one another.
Otherwise you are saying that these squads are bullies at the same time you want to be that bully and win every lobby yourself = kinda not fair 🙂
