Hard to say how many skill buckets we have now. It used to be five and they claim the new system has more but you couldn't prove it by me. I started the season with around 300-400 matches that I considered normal and reasonably balanced. Outliers here and there, but nothing outrageous. Then suddenly I woke up one morning as found myself in lobbies with players who had 155k kills on one legend. That lasted about two weeks. My refusal to participate probably bumped my mmr back down and now lobbies are mostly back to what I consider normal. But it was definitely not fun flirting with the Ritalin crowd. I can't imagine most players would be able to identify a sweaty lobby until it's too late, nor would be willing to treat one the way I treat them. But that was my solution and it worked.

I don’t know for sure, but the matchmaking is surely tight enough that I can continuously get match with the same teammates multiple games in a row— despite playing in heavily populated servers at peak times.
Of course, this is entirely why I’m waiting 4-6 minutes for a match.
