Matchmaking something's wrong

Here is the problem; Respawn said they incorporate a new algorithm seasons ago that supposedly got everyone close to 1 kd ratio. Problem is at the time of that new system I was at about 0.6 kd but s...

good. I've been playing for about a month now, I've been playing Gold 2 but I'm not able to get past it in any way. And how is it possible for my team to always be someone who seems to have never played the game? I have no idea. Frankly, I'm tired of killing 2 and dying for the 3 that my team doesn't even have the vest, I don't know how to play like this. And it's a shame I really like the game but I'm going to abandon it this way.. I understand you, there are few players playing the game so they can't do better but so on losing many more.. no one has fun. don't forget that it's not the pro players who make the game, there are 2 of us. who, according to the menus, have 2 decent players in a ranked match and I'm not a bad guy. but as we all know, they They won't read any of this and they want to sell skins...look, I see a sad end to the game this year, there will be some good games coming out...they will lose the rest of the players and well done.......you can block my account a will..this is not mine..I'm just here to give my openion..

@ttvrodriguestmr Let's also not forget another problem for matchmaking.

First, let's pretend matchmaking is perfect, as in, its always fair, (it won't ever be 100% fair due to the skill gaps, but let's pretend for now).

The problem: Cheaters, smurfs, and bots.

Cheaters come back after bans, smurfs... well smurf, while the bots are just cheaters leveling up accounts to use them in rank or whatever else that they need a bot for.

Matchmaking has to be changed to where it tries harder to keep high skilled players out of lower skill player's matches. There's no reason to put preds in bronze lobbies, even in pubs. For this to work, it would also require a better anti-cheat, (good luck, as cheaters would keep bypassing any anti-cheat), a detection for smurfs, (the rookie to pred grinds really shouldn't be allowed as well), and kicking out any player that acts like a bot, (although AI is getting more and more advanced, that its possible to fight an AI, and think its a player, but if you get a bot random that's useful, its more or less a win... isn't it?)

  Whatever matchmaking is being used, its clearly the same thing for all the modes. I'm trying to play the lockdown LTM, and it feels like I'm playing ranked. I'm getting two randoms who are either new to the game, or they're bots, and going against top ranked players, smurfs, and/or cheaters. The majority of my matches, both of my teammates do not care at all about the objective, or they're AFK. This isn't fun, and its very exhausting.
