Player distribution graph

I agree with you about being thankful (sort of) that they put the graph up so that at least I know when to back out and try again without just giving it up to a three stack with a combined skill level that exceeds my own by an order of magnitude.

And yes, putting the graph in took balls on their part because it really does confirm everything we've already known forever: it's bad, it's getting worse, and their supposedly "more granular" matchmaking seems to be down to just two or three buckets instead of the promised "more than five." I look at the wide span of the grey areas in these curves and about ninety percent of the time they are so wide that it really is just "everyone to the left of the peak in one bucket, and everyone to the right of the peak in the other," with maybe a third bucket that encompasses the top 3% of players plus whoever is lower skilled that they have to hijack into the match in order to fill it. I pity those poor **bleep**.
