Matchmaking is still trash . . .
Respawn's blog post was an outright lie.

@dSKyNafinchinMy lobbies have changed drastically. The new changes I'm sure were sent in with s16. My games have been dreadful I'm being paired against 3 stack players with 50k + kills as a solo player. It use to be rough but nothing like I'm seeing this season. Enough so to where I'm hardly even playing the game anymore. It has become not as fun with the changes I'm seeing. Friends hardly even play anymore. I do not mind playing against preds or masters but to have half a lobby filled with them is beyond annoying. I can solo 1-2 people but 3? Just not doable by me with my skill level. No reason when going in solo I should be faced against teams who devote all their time playing together and being strong together when I'm solo. Needless to say these match-making changes are taking a tole on me.
Also it feels like they are tossing us all over different regions. Some games I'm at 20 ping other servers I'm at 120 ping or more. I tested out of science every single region in NA to see my highest ping when playing was a 50 ping. I then went to UK where I average about 120 give or take. So if I'm not seeing 120 ping on any NA server that I'm on and I am randomly this is meaning I'm being pushed to other regions. Typically id chalk it up as server issues but upon testing it was a clear sign something is going on behind the scenes. (Mind you just an assumption on my end) but upon testing I'm seeing a big difference.
@E9ine_AC I definitely don't have any experience playing in the type of lobbies that you do, luckily. I'm not on the same skill level as you, from what I've gathered, and that definitely benefits me, when it comes to MM. I get a squad here and there, that is a pre-made pred/master team, but not too terribly often (mostly pubs. I don't play much ranked). If I was in the lobbies you described, I'd be losing my mind, and just not playing as much too. I haven't really seen any difference in my lobbies, but I'm definitely in a more "general" bucket than you are
I've been on the lucky end of a lot of issues with connection and MM on this game, somehow. Hopefully it starts to level out for you soon! I can definitely sympathize with people that deal with issues like that, I just haven't experienced them myself.
