An image that says it all about the state of Ranked
But hey it's been like this for more than a season, Respawn releases patches at a blistering pace!

Well all I can say after seeing these two pictures is that Ranked play is broken.
From what I know about rank play there is absolutely no way a master/pred ranked player should be able to be matched with any players below Diamond from what I understand.
Ranked is as per EA supposed to be played at similar skill levels Gold vs Gold OK, Pred vs Master OK.
Bronze vs pred or Silver vs Pred or for that matter Diamond is just bonkers.
There should be no way that basically all ranked levels (except Rookie) from Bronze to Pred should in any way be in the same lobby.
Looking at the below pictures makes MM look sad in fact it looks like it was thrown out.
Pic 1: From what I can tell there were the following ranks represented in that match, the #2 ranked pred at the time and they played against the following:
1x silver, 9x Gold, 16x Plat, 5x Diamond and 2x Master/Pred.
Why at all was a silver in the preds lobby for that matter the golds and plats do not belong there either.
Pic 2: From what I can tell there were the following ranks represented in that match, a Diamond ranked player, played against the following:
1x Bronze, 3x Gold, 4x Plat, 7x Diamond and 7x Master/Pred.
Why at all was a Bronze player a lobby with preds in it for that matter the golds and plats do not belong there either.
EA this is not fair play, there is absolutely no way the MM should be doing this to players. Tighten up the MM Ranked should be max one rank above or below for a team to form and should only play vs max one rank above or below.
Please please fix the MM we all beg of you to do this EA.
We love the game but no one likes playing Gold vs Pred or even Silver vs Plat, the skill gaps are just way to much.
@Asmodeus566 Totally agree. Preseason 13 ranked was much stricter. Unfortunately in season 13 there were major changes to ranked, which a huge part of the player base did not like. So they stopped playing. This resulted in really long queue times in higher lobbies. Rather than revert back to a system that had worked, someone decided to open the window up if a queue time went above a certain time threshold. This is the result of that. That time is super short btw.
