New to the game, fun but matchmaking is the worst I've seen ever

This game is incredibly fun. I had a blast with orientation matches and some earlier matches. I did quite well. Got 11 kills one game. So is my doing well why I'm getting nothing but noob teammate...

Imagine for a minute if you were on a team with two others at your skill level.

Since you realize many of the players on the map are low level (as per your observations above), do I need to say more?

BTW, I am not that great of a shot but I am getting better. What helps me is being on a team with people of better skill who work with me as a team and not run off so far ahead of me that I can't help them in time, or leave when I could craft their banner but they see I am not going to engage with the squad of 3 by myself in self preservation of my squad's future fight.

Being with a good team helps me stay calm and I can aim well. The last match I played we won and I racked up some damage because I knew the people I was playing with made a real team. But such a team is perhaps 1 out of 10 these days.

  @drevinum9Actually I think it is the time of day. The later in the night, from 11pm on, the worse it gets. I find the best time is 3pm - 9pm for people who think in team work.
  In fact, if I play past 9pm ET, then I will jump on the Dallas or Salt Lake servers to bump the clock back 2 hours. Not joking. I do this in hopes to find a good team. But the east coast seems to be the best team players overall.

    @MrGreenWithAGun You have a point, I'm in the CST timezone and from like 7 AM, maybe 9 AM, its decent until around 3 PM, when most people get out of school or off work. It then gets worse and worse the closer I get to 12 AM. I usually play at night, as its more of my "morning", and most of the tough games or ones filled with cheaters or smurphs happens between 5 PM and 11 PM. It usually gets better after 11 PM, unless its the weekend. However, I will say that some people don't have a life, such as myself, and there's been times where between 2 AM and 8 AM, its the same as if it was between 5 PM and 11 PM.
    
    I think its a few factors:
    
    - Time of day
    - "Skill level"
    - How many are online
    - What mode you're playing
    
    I'm not sure about @MrGreenWithAGun, but I play rank. I rarely play pubs or mixtape modes. For me, its a nightmare in the evenings into early mornings in ranked matches for most days.
