Something worth trying before complaining about an "unfair" matchmaking

Dont leave your game before you die. Just wait until you are a loot box so that one death is added to your stats. Because if you keep insta-quitting as soon as you get knocked, then your KD will be unrealistically high compared to your actual skills. Even if your KD isnt the only variable that goes in to the matchmaking (in my experience, being premade trio or solo is a much more important one), you wont even give the system an honest chance if you keep your KD 50-80% higher than what it should be.

Just a friendly advice.

    @Balladalidila I'm pretty sure you always get a death when you leave if you've been damaged by another player. I've had it happen a ton of time where I randomly get a kill because I damaged someone and they left before someone else shot them

    @Balladalidila

    I have the ridiculously high k/d you're talking about, acquired in exactly the way you're describing, and I have to say I don't think it has pushed me up into diamond/master/pred territoty, or honestly anywhere even near. Now it's also entirely possible that my very low kill count acts as some kind of counter-balance, but who knows for sure?

    @1unown1

    I'm not completely sure, but I think there's a time cap on what you're describing. In other words, if someone damages me and I run and hide and quit, then yes, the enemy who dealt the damage gets a kill. But if I run and hide and let a certain amount of time pass before I quit - maybe two minutes? - then I'm pretty sure there's no kill. Can't say for sure, but I'd love it if a dev (or anyone) could give us a definite answer here.

    @Balladalidila it has nothing to do with bronze rank team matched with full plat/diamond teams in ranked. I have tracker I see what kind of "ballance" pops out of the plane... if i see predator in bronze division beeing matched with others in bronze division im ok with that. But the whole different division is not ballance at all...k maybe 1 up max but thats all. I understand 1 diamond with 2 bronze buddies in silver que, but 3 diamonds in silver que is * no matter how you put it...
