Why Am I matched against level 500+ when im only level 20??

Yeah, that's real cool, but how the actual * is a level 5 in 25k enemy kill lobbies? Why the * am I getting preds below one hundred kills? Yeah, I might've gotten a 2.5k and a 2k but I mean come on, what the hell?!?!

my team is weak all can't kill enemies, my opponents are level 300+ when I'm level 18 and i haven't killed more than 30 enemies.

I have this problem too, I'm level 162 but am being faced against preds. Me and my brother faced this horizon earlier today

I can tell it works by recent matches i.e.3-5 games, not lifetime stats.

I have a friend who plays 1 game, does a squad no fill dropship countdown to 0 then quit, play another game, repeat. He says it seems to work to keep him in lower lobbies. But sounds like too much hassle.

I play like 3-4 games then play something else or watch netflix then come back. If it detects you haven't play for a long period i.e. just even half hour it does drop me in lower lobby like it wants to warm you up to make you feel good first before you go into meat grinder.

i.e. I have 3 win in a row badge with random team mates just by winning 1 game, knew next lobby will be killer, so stopped playing and watched Netflix, come back for just 1 game and won again. Then suddenly had to make dinner, came back and won 3rd time in a row in same night. That's no coincidence and I felt it was consistent by taking breaks,

It is the equivalent of reverse boosting. I would see entire COD lobbies of people throw nades at their feet in 2019 when Modern Warfare was released that year.

Grinding 20-30 games in a row will lead to frustration. Place a goal and set expectations that you won't win every game. It is about the plays, rotation and height/cover advantage to pinch or pull away rather diving into dodge monkey and roll the dice for close combat unless very favourable.
