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 ...

@EREGDS Those last ones were from normal battle royal
@Sand_spitter That video... I had a feeling that's what they were doing. I've felt like matchmaking purposly was mismatching because like why would I sometimes get level 10 players in ranked arenas and things like that. Also the pattern it has me in for some reason is: lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose x5, win, win, back to losing. Like I can tell when I'm going to win a match due to "SBMM" changing, because almost every single player I come across are absolute bots or noobs and my teammates are actually decent.

@Midnight9746 I have been playing now for 4 days and only once I finished the day (4+h of play usually more than that) with positive total points.
My pattern - 10 loses, 1-3 positive point games, maybe a win here or there.
But to be fair all of those were due to incompetent teammates that were not willing to teamwork or were just not at the skill level to compete, I honestly had maybe 2? Diamond level lobbies during 4 games when in my team I had (useless) season 10 master currently in Platinum 1, but as soon as we lost 1 or 2 games with him lobbies switched back to "normal" with gold players around, and we still lost those maps.
IDK...
I feel like you might see that effect only from Diamond up, where really every mistake or so is being punished, there are more Masters and Preds present...yet I still think that when I get there 50% of the fights will be lost due to bad teamwork from my team's side and very good one from enemies.
