Serious Question
I've been playing mix tape on and off. Every single game. Totally mismatched. I quit the last one in deathmatch. 11 kills to 33. Totally one sided. Again. The penalty doesn't matter because...

I agree with everyone who said, in essence, not every match will be what we think of as "fair and balanced."
That said, you absolutely nailed it with:
"Why penalise me for a totally mis matched game where we just get crushed. How am I the bad guy who should get punished? What is my incentive to stick around to just be free kills to miles better players than me? Sell it to me."
The idea that devs can author a game with a skill gap so wide that anything less than perfect matchmaking will result in "11 to 33" and that we will all just go along for the ride and be grateful for the opportunity... is ridiculous. I was saying the exact same thing 20 years ago with Halo. Nothing has changed since. Change the title, change the developer, change the decade, it's all the same crap happening over and over again. This is why I've grown to hate first person team-based multiplayer shooters. I keep putting up with them because I like "shooter" while hating "team-based" and "multiplayer" in equal measure. Yet here I still am. Here still are we all. I wish the news was better, but so far not.

@reconzero Well said. I've been playing a lot of the finals lately and guess what- The MM is brutal in that too. All kinds of people who don't know what they are doing or how to play the game.
The other thing to remember is some people aren't playing mixtape games to win the game. Some are just doing challenges or goof off.

Yeah, just logged into mixtape to try and work on some weapons objectives.
Control - locked out and lost before we hit 20%
Deathmatch - loss 27/50 and 23/50
I give up. Smashed every single game. hit start, cancelled and picked ranked and hit start again. Didn't note my cancel and put me in gun run. I just quit, ate the penalty and shut down the playstation. So frustrated. I've had enough.
