@Moist_Demon to be honest , the system is not fair but whenever I think about I don't find away how they can fix it.
yesterday I was running with premade team and encountered a lifeline who was clearly new to the game.
poor girl got melted in a second and she was lvl 25 or something.
I really felt so bad watching her knocked, just facing the wall not moving trying to process what just happened and I was thinking why she was matched in this lobby then we found out that one of her teammates is lvl 500 so the system matched the whole team according to the highest lvl player.
so it was not fair for her , or her teammates and it was not fun for us and the same applies when we get matched against predator 3 stack who melt us in a second.
I don't know what to say but I agree that it's not a fun experience on both sides .....or maybe I am just too soft XD

THIS! If only I can give more than 1 XP here. Yes it's a free kill but it doesn't feel right for these real new players (not smurfs) to be matchmaked against us let alone players that are better than us. I don't know if it's a low player count in a particular server that's forcing them to join these lobbies. The game feels like magic when you're matched with people with the same skill. I don't know why but I'm less salty dying to a person who outplayed me who I know is at my same skill level rather than to those preds that I have no chance of winning in a 1v1.
