Not similarly skilled players

This has been one of my biggest complaints! There should only be a 1 tier up/down difference when pairing squads. For the most part, I have always been paired with plat 4 and gold when I’m plat 1. I NEVER saw diamond players in plat lobbies, but when I’m diamond 4 I usually get paired with a diamond 4 who carries a low level plat into the lobby. When I started the season in gold, I was always paired with silver and bronze. An a bunch of times with rookie players. There should be a 1 division split between all ranks so that gold can only play with plat or diamond and silver can only play with gold and bronze. Let the rookies play with themselves and bronze, and let the press play with themselves and masters. Masters should have a limit to how many can enter just like Preds. Of course the limit of players in masters has to be much more substantial to Preds. And, increase the number of Preds allowed to a percentage of the active player base instead of 750. Maybe 5%-10%. Also, remove the 3 loss demotion, because even though it seems like a good idea, it feels more like it has a negative effect on the effort players are willing to put in. It’s like a get out of jail free card to play recklessly instead of tactically. And speaking of tactically, most players at tier 4 don’t understand the tactics of the new division they are in. There is a huge skill gap between plat 1 and diamond 4. Most diamond 4 players play like they are in plat lobbies, so unless you are already in a squad, the chance of moving up is slim to none. All of these should help spread the skill and balance the divisions, in my opinion.
